Minny deserve this. What an awesome performance in games 6 and 7.

Champs not getting past the 2nd round in six straight seasons is pretty wild.

That's trash by McDaniels. Like it adds to the drama of this game but what a way to spit on a classic game :lol:

Makes sense that we haven't had a repeat champ since the super team era officially ended when KD left the bay area

Joker with an all time whiner performance.

What a game! Go Wolves, win it all

Jokic losing is very good for the Giannis/Jokic debates in 10 years too.

He was gonna dribble out, but the defender got extra feisty suddenly.

Who knows what was said. I wish we had in game mics live.

This will be 6 years with a champ that hasn't won twice in that time period

I'm someone that thinks unwritten rules like running the clock out are generally pretty stupid but holy hell I couldn't believe McDaniels tried that lol

Guess gotta root for Minnesota to win it all

Yep. He couldn’t defend his title.

There is still the possibility that the NBA Finals will be 2 Midwest teams, Indiana and Minnesota. Would be Stephen A Smith's worst nightmare.

Pat Bev was a mentor to these Wolves. He's definitely a keeper.

Both followed up title with 2nd round game 7 loss. Except Giannis was without his wingman.

Yeah I'm the opposite of a unwritten rules guy but that was just a 50 iq decision

Giannis didn't have Khris, whereas Joker has all of his guys.

Weirdly, I think this result suits Dallas and Boston. Minny is a better macthup for both rather than Boston, but maybe I'm wrong.
