2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (GSW leads 1-0)

[durden_tyler]

The Wolves’ defense is comparable to that of the Rockets. But this time, the Warriors will be facing an offense very much different and infinitely better.

Wolves in 5.

You fixed it. Cool.

Yes, not sure why my fingers fast typed the Warriors Personally, a bigger fan of Steph/Warriors but mind says be smart and pick the better team, so the Wolves it is. And waiting for the lines to open so i can lock that in.

Randle gonna be a bull. Who the hell on this Warriors team can stop him? Lol

Draymond Green, "Now with Karate Chop Action!"

3 rd 6 Vs 7 series in history

Read on Twitter

That’s crazy only the third time in history

[NCHeels2008]

I'm gonna say Wolves in 5, love the Warriors personally but I think Rockets lacked the skill the Wolves have, I think Warriors are overmatched here and it's semi ugly.

[okboomer]

It's ridiculous there is 3 days off between a potential game 5 and 6.

[Patches Perry]

I wonder if the schedule will get to the older Warriors. They've played every other day for the last 5 games straight in the 1st round, and the first 5 games of this series are every other day too.

10 games in 19 days, and all against physical and exhausting teams like Houston and Minnesota. It's a gauntlet.

[durden_tyler]

The Warriors were able to play a defensive game vs the Rockets because the latter was inept offensively for long stretches. Can’t say the same with the Wolves… Ant obviously will be the focus but a bunch of support players can contribute there.

There will be a ton of heat in this series. Draymond and Gobert dislike each other. Minnesota despises Jimmy Butler and he has trolled them. Anthony Edwards loves being the hitman and will have a personal bounty on Butler and Curry. Warriors may really be on their last significant run and they will do whatever it takes to stay alive. This should be ridiculous. Target Center is going to look like Live Aid 1985 compared to the crowd we heard tonight.

Wolves are too physical and athletic for the Warriors. GS doesn't have enough offense to keep up. Wolves in 5 or 6.

[IG2]

Minnesota is Houston but can actually score. They should take this in 6.

[cpower]

I have Wolves in 6. They don't have the Curry stopper as rockets so Steph will have a few big games. But if wolves play their offense and ANT making the right pass they will be hard to beat, but if Randle is trying to go one on one this will go to a g7.

[Mr.Raptorsingh]

Randle vs Green could result in someone throwing a left hook

[Black star]

I'm not sure people are properly appreciating what a defensive menace Amen is and how vital his otherworldly defense on Curry was for making the Warriors offense look pedestrian.

Wolves have a defense on par with the Rockets for sure, but Amen is a one of one. Keeping up with Curry through all his off ball actions is borderline impossible and I don't think the Wolves can simply replicate what the Rockets did. I still like them in this series because they should be able to impose their size again but I think it's going to be closer than Wolves Lakers.

Of course, Jimmy and Curry old legs coming off a grueling 7 game series against a physical Rockets team could definitely end up playing a big factor in that

[Wolfgang630]

Ready for more draymond antics that the league will let slide

[fanofthegreats]

Steph won’t do anything against Minnesota.

[Riverwalk2021]

Good one and tough to call but the Wolves seem healthier and more overall talent. TPups in 6.

[NyKnicks1714]

Warriors in 6, but either team will get dismantled in the WCF.

[durden_tyler]

Uhhh i forgot Butler played for Minnesota. Additional drama for this one i guess aside from Gobert vs Drey.

Yea they don't have an Amen but I think Ant, Alexander-Walker, and McDaniels are potent enough to give Curry some issues. Divencenzo and Conley are also not slouches though not comparable as defenders.

[Hitachi77]

I’m going to use square logic here. The Wolves seem to play much better with their back against the wall. When they stepped in as a favorite vs Dallas last year they got crushed. Going with Warriors in 6.

Also blah blah experience blah blah. Yeah I know the Lakers had more experience too but hey, square logic.
