1st quarter overreactions, Chet is not built for physical playoff basketball. Cason Wallace is an awesome defender.

Doris probably frequents these forum threads. Lol

Mike- Caruso has been one of the best players this playoffs.

Doris- You know Mike I was reading Realgm and they said SGA should give his MVP trophy to Caruso.

A majority of the Ringer content comes from reading this forum. It's obvious.

OKC having to work for buckets for the first time all playoffs.

Wolves look good.

Refs sold out for OKC, put them at the line 11 times and put Rudy on the bench 90 seconds into the game. The wolves leading by 3 is either a minor miracle or a very bad omen for the Thunder.

Good game so far. Minn sloppy, too many turnovers already. They have to fix that issue.
But they are defensively strong team. Lead by 3 after 1st qrtr.

OKC is small market's Lakers (in terms of officiating).

Foul baiting that didn't get called.

Clark was too quick for him.

Wolves are screwed if Ant has to miss the first the half

I'm a big Edwards guy, but isn't his free throw a violation basically every time stepping over the line early? First noticed it at the olympics.

NBA world really doesn't know who Jaylen Clark is yet. His offense isn't there yet but such an incredible defender

TBH this is a fair critique on both Memphis and Denver. Going from inexperienced Edey and slow-footed Jokic to Rudy Gobert is kind of huge.

Who wins and advances to the NBA Finals?
