Glad we're not getting a sweep. Through 4 games, these two teams are separated by 8 points.

Kyrie was pretty brutal. I expect him and Luka to light it up on Thursday.

IG2 wrote:Honestly, the key to Minnesota pulling this off was their decision to trap both Luka and Kyrie in the clutch and force them to pass the ball every time. They are likely up 3-1 in this series had they done it earlier.


Wouldn't have worked with Lively. Or at least, it hasn't to date.

Same, the last call against KAT (where he fouled out) was an absolute joke, Luka leaped into him.

Not sure if it was cheating or incompetent officiating tbh

If there was ever a 3-0 comeback, it has to be this one, right? Luka is already injured and limited, they lost Lively in game 3 who was their best on/off player, and all games have come down to the last minute.


Idk the exact numbers off the top of my head, but it seems like Minnesota has held the lead for about 70% of this series…. While being down 3-1

In hindsight should've just rested Luka and his knee.
