felt like Wolves getting back into it by using Gobert on offense, so it makes absolute sense to go away from that

I wish I hadn't seen this coming.

The Minny coaching staff better get in gear after G1. They look like fools.

Horrible in the 1st half and great in the 2nd half

Jimmys offense is disgusting when he isn’t getting to the line for half this points.

They stopped once they brought in Looney. gobert no longer had the size advantage.

Curry gravity affected Hields first half as he didn't want to be overshadowed again.

Didn't feel like the Warriors were true contenders in 2022 and we know how that ended
Didn't feel like they were contenders this year even post Butler trade and.........?

Looney is playable because Gobert plays drop on defense, and it makes his screen and dribble hand offs being effective for Jimmy and Hield

true, but they get Rudy involved in the pick n roll, but then completely ignore him. have to force up that layup attempt

Kerr masterclass. Completely out coaching Finch. Putting Looney in completely changed the game and turned a potention loss into a win.

I got a question. How trash were the Lakers?

Finch counters this by having Reid now

Podz stinks. He's only 22 so I try to give him a longer leash, but he's just not good.

Loney is playable because Wolves cant score to save their lives.

He’s one of the most overrated players of his generation
