2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 1-0)

[Mamba Mentality]

I can’t stand watching Jimmy foul bait every time he touches the rock.

[multo]

Butler has got to shoot that.

[Jta444]

I may have seriously overestimated the Wolves. The Lakers were just way more trash than I thought

Yeah Lebron really is trash. I’ve seen enough this takes the cake for me.

Imagine if Curry had Luka they will maybe be championship favorites. But Lebron with Luka got you 1 win in the 1st round??? Cmon man.

Curry’s motion offense >>> Lebron ball

It has won the same amount of championships in almost half the time. 22 years and you can only show me 4 championships? 2 of which had to have bailout shots by your teammates with game 7’s and the other two in shortened/pandemic seasons? GOAT my damn arse.

Difference between Lakers and Warriors is simply athleticism, which shows up as energy to defend.

Wolves were more athletic and a similar size to Lakers.

Lakers have needed athletes since the 2022 offseason.

[Handlez]

Donte in Jimmy's ass

[Castle Black]

Warriors might wanna guard Naz Reid. Leaving him wide open isn't a winning strategy.

[nzahir]

I’m not sure this is more embarrassing for the Wolves or for the Lakers actually

Just shows you how great we could have been with a C

Shame on Pelinka

Still would have been embarrassed by the Wolves.

I dont think so

We lost b/c we couldn't rebound or defend the paint

Mix that in with some bad luck (Luka sick and hurt, seems like Bron got hurt anyways at the end when it was over) and then the G4 no foul on Luka being tripped and then the TO out of bounds by Bron

[Chuck Everett]

Does Ant come back in after this timeout? He's been so bad, but they still need his offense.

[FarBeyondDriven]

we're getting pensive Jimmy Butler this game. Dude is an enigma. If he doesn't get into the game the Wolves are going to come back

Also helps when you have an anchor like Draymond manning the paint.

That left hamstring strain gravity

Wolves shooters haven't adjusted their arc to account for the gravitational effect of Steph in the locker room.

Steph Curry’s motion offense and leadership is definitely better than LePout’s stagnant offense.

Don’t let personal stats fool you. It’s exactly Lebron’s system - to get himself stats. But what has that won? Steph and him just have the same championships yet Lebron seems like a dinosaur relic compared to Steph.

Not to mention how many times Lebron has cowardly jumped ship and recruited superstars to his team unlike Steph who just develops players through his leadership and gravity.

Steph Curry, famously responsible for the Warriors drafting and developing homegrown Warriors superstar Kevin Durant.

Stephs gravity so great it creates alternative timelines in parallel universes.

[CIN-C-STAR]

Kerr might be a top 10 coach all time if he can win this game on the road without Curry, with Jimmy banged up, and while playing Kuminga big minutes.
Hell I’d say maybe even top 5 all time if it weren’t his choice to play Kuminga in the first place

Yes, warriors move and recovers a lot faster. Maybe just the wolves are stuck in mud from their catfish hunting trip.

LeBron also installs coaches who caters him. He may have won more rings. Probably didn’t want anyone stealing the spotlight

[Diop]

Lakers talk is boring, take it to the LA board

[KGDirkTD_Fan]

This is insane. Just tuning in. Dubs look unreal

I can never tell if this team is done or one player away. Making something happen with this roster without Steph is just crazy man.

I mean they were over 0.500.without Steph this season. Don't know why people think this roster is so bad.

I dont know, I watched all 7 games last series, defense is there but I don't know how much I trust the offense. Warriors and Nuggets are similar where there's a huge difference in how lethal the offense is if someone not Jokic or Steph can do something for just a few minutes.

But you know the Warriors have been linear where they've been getting better each game in the PO. Kerr is being forced to play guys he doesn't want to play and it's been playing dividends. We will see if I still believe this by end of the series.

[nitric0]

Jimmy gotta be playing hurt, he's been below average

Probably just expecting the Lakers energy levels, this GSW team is a lot tougher defensively.

Yea, Durant which he had for a very very long 2 and a half years. LOL.

Meanwhile Lebron had Wade for 4 years, Kyrie for 3 years, AD for 4 years, then now Luka.

You can’t even compare who the real sloot is.. lmao

[One Last Shot]

Wolves getting smack by two-way demon Draymond Green. I'm so hype with Coach Jokic vs. Steph/Buckets in Conference Finals.
