2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (MIN WINS 4-1)

As I said, Wolves in 5

Yeah because Steph was injured.

Julius Randle deserves his flowers. I never respected him or took him seriously in the past, but he's been incredible in these playoffs and is the biggest X-factor for the TWolves' success.

We'll never know, will we?

Injuries happen. Look at Sam Cassell's injury during the 2004 WCF. Unfortunate timing as if it was likely Garnett's best shot with the Wolves.

Just like Kawhi, Chris Paul, etc during the Warriors runs

Back to back conference final appearances, even after a huge roster shake-up swapping KAT for Randle/Dante is something to be proud of.

Don't forget Twolves also got a #1 pick. So far looks like win-win. I still prefer KAT over Randle for Wolves.

Wolves Finals bound?

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

Yes, but GSW was #1 team forcing turnovers at the end of the season.

Curry, Butler and Draymond make a combined 139.4 million. This is the squad. Play-in at best next year again.

Yeah, unfortunately can’t improve much unless it’s a miracle trade or something.

OKC, Denver, Minnnesota, Houston are your guaranteed Top 4. Then everyone else (2 LAs, Golden State, Memphis plus the rising team Spurs, healthy Mavs etc) all vying for the playin.

Now we have no tankers in the WC (except maybe Utah if Ryan Smith lets Ainge do it again) since being horrible doesn't guarantee top-3 picks. They are going to have to bring it in the regular season.

That’s what expansion is for .. add two new tankers.

But yeah, the West is going to be even more of a bloodbath next year!

Thanks Timberwolves for taking out the Warriors so we don't have to hear about Jimmy, Steph and especially Draymond for the rest of the Playoffs.

It’s crazy how incompetent Draymond looks out there offensively when Steph isn’t playing. Even defensively, he got bullied by Randle all series.

Draymond is the very definition of riding someone's coattails, lol.
