Some of these comments are baffling. Can Minnesota beat the Celtics if they were to match up with them in the finals ? Of course. But for certain people to say they trust a Timberwolves team that just made the second round with this core for the first time over the Celtics because of how they performed in the Finals 2 years ago is insane.
Timberwolves have not experienced any real pressure as of yet. They weren’t expected to win both games in Denver which is why they played with so much confidence. Games 3 & 4 will determine if this Timberwolves team is ready to win a championship. The pressure is on them for the first time.
Most games Cs' 1st shot of the game is the 3 ball. Tonite was no different.
Tonite, the CS first shot ......is the 3 ball (missed)....2nd shot of the game,.....3 ball (made).
Just as it was tonite. Very predictable. First C's shot....3 ball.
Miss the 3 ball, grab rebound, instead of a lay up or dunk.....kick the ball out, swing it around some more, launch another 3 ball. Rinse and repeat.
C's launched nearly 50 threes tonite. GS Warriors of the East.
Pressure is also on these Cs team as well. Paper champs for the past few season and no NBA title since 2008.
If we become the Warriors of the East, I’ll be a very happy man.
Fair enuff.
