If any of these old players want to win a ring again then they’ll need to jump on a great young team

Hard to tell without Curry there. They looked great when he was there, more like Hakeem, Drexler and Chuck than the Pipper version

And you lost.

Warriors lost this series the second Steph went down.

Might have been a good series with him, without him it’s a cake walk for Minny, but that’s also how it goes in the playoffs, no shade to Minny at all.

Who knows what happens in this series if Steph doesn't get hurt, but we definitely don't have an asterisk situation here. Minnesota looked rough for a while but closed out the series really strong.

Durant got destroyed last year in round one and didn't even make the playoffs. Lebron sent home round 1. Curry ran into the ground in round 1 and broke down to have his team get a gentleman's swept. The old era is officially dead, the game belongs to the young cats now. The transition of NBA era's is complete. The NBA is no country for Old Men.

Because NBC has the games that used to belong to TNT moving forward. BA could show up on Amazon though possibly.

Curry needs to come on home to Charlotte play with the young guns who's hungry.

It's too bad the NBA is losing Brian Anderson. At least it will give him more time to do Brewers games. He's a great baseball announcer too.

The Wolves had Garnett which presented a massive opportunity that they squandered. Before and after Garnett this franchise was horrific. But this decade the found their footing and have put out reliably good teams with solid management.

Congrats to my former home! 2 straight years among the final 4 standing.

Tim Conelley ain't no joke. Chris Finch needs to start being talked about as one of the better coaches in the league.

Congrats Minny! Back to back WCFs first time in franchise history. 3rd overall including their KG/Wally teams (2004).
After a down start and injuries. TWolves got hot after that.
They need to clean up their turnover tho. OkC/Denver will crush em for that.

GSW was outdated, really needed to Curry.

Congratulations Wolves! Y’all have a squad

Yep, no asterisk for injuries. That can happen to any team in the playoffs at any time. Part of the game.

Possible. But they gotta clean up the turnovers. OKC/Denver will clean them up

i'd go more Drexler than Pippen. Pippen clashed with chuck pretty quickly, he did well at Portland though, Blazers were very unlucky
