Towns has some really rough possessions for such a talented offensive player.

The minny defense has been so good this quarter and there isnt anything more they can do

KAT definitely coming up short altogether.

Stan has been screaming for an hour about how they need to double Luka when he crosses half court.

Was not expecting it to be so easy for Dallas

Super impressive from Luka and Kyrie. Minny on the other hand....

I’ve been saying MN needed to trade KAT when his value was highest. He just isn’t a winner and they could’ve gotten a pretty penny for him.

1st team ever to come back from 3 down to win, then?

Chucked them out of the game.

Having the very best player(s) in a series is a formula. Some want to give away much of our potential of that for depth.

Nope, I thought the wolves were going to come out like they did at the beginning of the nuggets series and win these next two. I was very wrong.

Wolves are such pretenders. Gobert is the defensive liability of DPOYs. KAT is the lazy snowflake of Bill Laimbeers. Anthony Edwards deserves better.

KAT has been excellent for a majority of these playoffs, but he’s been killing them these series and his shooting is notable when the games are so close

Connelly should have built the Wolves to beat the Mavs too.

I worked with a Wolves fan a couple of years ago and I still remember telling him the Wolves should have sold "high-ish" on KAT when it was clear Ant was the player they were going to need to build around. If they had done that and got building blocks around the same age as Ant, they would have a really huge window coming up where the WCF would probably be Wemby v Ant year after year.

Now they'll have both Gobert and KAT at 30+ when Ant truly enters his prime. Missed a golden opportunity.

I'm still pretty sure a Middleton for Kyrie trade at the trade deadline last year wouldn't look as bad as most of y'all made it out to be when I suggested it.

Could've had a Jrue/Kyrie backcourt and now they'll be facing each other in the finals.

Just to make sure it's known, I'm fine with Dame going forward and don't think that affected our exit at all. If Giannis goes down, it doesn't matter if we have Jrue or Dame we aren't playing at this point.

Congrats to Jrue and Kyrie.

Jrue winning his 2nd title is probably the best outcome. Motivator for Dame & GA.

Can't root for Kidd. Jrue on the other hand, nothing but love.
