That series is over before it started. Minny going to the WCF

Mavs might not roll over for OKC and that could give Minny extra rest

Wolves are peaking at the right time. They’re absolutely abusing Denver.

Minny on another level right now. They’re going all the way… barring a NYK miracle of course

Our board heavily underrates KAT in general

Jokic is an amazing player, but Minny's defense has the answer to him this time

I have said KAT would fit into our roster well. I know it would mean moving Randle, but KAT would answer our need for a stretch big. We literally have NO shooting from our frontline in this post-season other than OG

KAT was and still a bad defender.

Its all about the refs. Gobert was supposed to be DPOY so Wolves having great defense.
Even without Gobert, Wolves having great defense. The reason can even be seen in first possession of the game where KAT fouled twice on Jokic then Gordon but did not get called for. Wolves players jump on fakes and land on Denver players without getting called for on many instances.

If you are going to foul the **** out of the opponent with no calls, then you can have best defense without worrying. Imagine Knicks had this type of refs for them. It would be 4-0 all the way. OG and Mitchell Robinson would rule the league with this type of whistle.

Wolves being 0-3 against Suns then winning 4-0 was similar too. If you let fouling, its rather easy to cut Durant-Booker.
On the other end, Wolves get to the line easily so Denver players avoiding any contact.

I feel totally played that I thought the T-Wolves/Denver game was going to be Finals worthy.

Dude has no feel for the game. Very talented but if you watch his decision making out there especially tonight, it was bad. He'll have a better shot, a path to the rim or a pass to an open player but instead he'll step back to clank a 3.

He would have sucked if we drafted him.
