Has Randle been Minny's best player this playoffs? Dude's really coming alive at the perfect time

I feel bad for the Warrior fans. This was a great game, you cant expect that from your role players every game, and Jimmy was cooking early.

But unfortunately it seems like once the 4th quarter started Jimmy and Dray gassed out and were making sloppy plays. Jimmy went back to being passive Jimmy, and the team lost it's edge. Shame really, this was the game to steal and keep it a series so you might have Steph. Now it's just over...

No. The Warriors were just outplayed. Couldn’t make a basket inside because of the great Wolves’ D.

It's hilarious to watch people complain about other teams not having enough, and then watching the 3rd best player on the team have 3 times more fouls than points. 5 TOs to 4 assists. Just absolutely pathetic play.

Steph goes out and this bozo tried to get kicked out of last game and then managed to do so in this one.

what is going on.

It's weird. They've also been aggressive calling them against Jokic in the Denver OKC series. Idk if thats supposed to be a new point of emphasis for the refs

I didn't actually want Trayce to get dunked on. He seems like a nice boy.

Great sub in indeed and a very underappreciated player.

If it's one thing you give Gobert credit for it's how great of a defender he is.

Now on offense!....

They’ve won 4 championships since 2015. I can’t feel too bad for them.

This offense is ugly and only generates midrange shots and tough layups.

They are very limited without Steph. It’s impressive already that they were not blown out early.

I see no difference between Kuminga and Jalen Green other than one has a much longer leash than the other does.
