This series is ending in 5, just a massive gap between the 2 teams.

Didn't know that, I though Lois Lane was involved somehow

Superboy Jonathan Kent is Superman and Lois' biological son, Kon-El was genetically engineered, comics

That is better than something between Lois and Luthor :lol:

NBA really made the conference finals unwatchable rewarding SGAs foul baiting. Harden level stuff. Bummer.

Chet so skinny when he dropped the shoulder into reids chest, he barely felt it. That was more aggressive than. Randles offensive foul really, but he weighs 30 pounds

Everything is perimeter orientated it's like nobody runs plays anymore.

Having grown up watching late 90's, early 2000's ball I feel short changed watching games like this.

Am I crazy? I'm open to criticism.

They’re running plays. They’re just not perfectly scripted and guys have to make more decisions on the fly. Plus zone defense becoming legal makes the offense you’re yearning for very hard to execute.

OKC going to sweep ....

But we'll see If the REFS are on the Wolves side next couple games.

Will take a lot of improvement from Minnesota to get back in this series. Down 2-0 to a top seed is bad but not impossible. Wolves should easily win Game 3 so Game 4 is where we’ll see if the Wolves have it in them to make this a competitive series.

Not really sure how Gobert gets the blame now as he helped the Timberwolves make the WCF for the 2nd year in a row.

The Thunder won 68 games with the best point differential of all time. They’re just a great team, and the Timberwolves would be in worse shape if they didn’t have Gobert.

He gets the blame because it's a terrible contract. I don't think they will win a title with him anyways so it's probably best to reset you roster construction but how can you trade him with that contract? They traded Towns when it was Gobert who really needed to go.

If it’s really such a terrible contract as you claim, then how could they trade it for anything of value?

The Rudy Gobert era is the most successful era of basketball in Minnesota Timberwolves history. They may not win a title, but it’s hard to make the WCF and they’ve done it 2 years in a row. I believe they’re the first team since the KD Warriors to make the WCF 2 years in a row:

Yeah it's a double edged sword but it's going to continue to hold the team hostage. Is it worth it to take a step back a year or two to get to the promise land by trying to dump him somewhere? I say yes

Thunder with three more fouls and two fewer free throws just for the record

Post #715 » by **Diop** » Fri May 23, 2025 3:18 am

Wolves should win at least 1 game at home

There is nothing to criticize. Late 90s / early 00s was peak nba. This is not the same game

Who wins?
