Legs is nauseating.

Tired of hearing how no depth is a factor. Depth only matters in the regular season. 5-7 man rotation is all you neee.

The Wolves just refuse to close a game intelligently. What the **** man?

You impressed with GSW?

Not at all

But Golden State has overachieved more and Minnesota is underachieving in spite of winning. They should have stepped on their throats the minute Curry went down. But the games have mostly been close. Their focus is lacking to me.

They lose if Steph didn’t get hurt. I called gent sweep after he went down though

Agree.

Even as a Wolves fan, I'm expecting us to get cooked by OKC. Our only hope is Denver winning that series because we have the bodies for Jokic.

Horrific game from Naz Reid tonight.

I do agree with you there.

That was a painful ending. Wolves terribly sloppy

Kuminga has 53 points in the last two games. I mean, he's been great considering the circumstances.

Really the only silver lining for the Warriors. Kerr not playing him any minutes at all in some playoff games is wild.

Yes and no. His value had tanked, so they had a shot to resign him much cheaper. He might be flashing enough again to make some team do something stupid.

I still don't think the Wolves have put it all together.

If they can start firing on all cylinders I think they can make a title run. I'm just not sure if their pieces fit well enough for that to happen.

Jimmy Butler with 14 points, and a game worst -30. These playoffs have made it very clear that while he's still a good complimentary star, he's not "that" guy anymore.

Meanwhile Julius Randle is having the playoffs of his life

Tim Connelly-led teams have played in 7 consecutive postseasons. In those 7 postseasons, they have won a series in 5 years and advanced to the Western Conference Finals twice (one more win makes a third).

San Francisco is not Oakland.

Definitely felt that tonight.

Kerr is an objectionably great coach, but I don't think player development is one of his strengths.

Tell that to the Nuggets

(Though not a big Legler fan either)

Who wins Game 4?
