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

Another problem with Minny's thin depth -- they have less ability to absorb an injury than deeper opponents do.

Chuck says Rudy can't play because he can't guard Draymond? Uhh, they are going to leave Draymond on purpose. And Rudy has shut down about 15 plays so far.

Charles Barkley is calling for Gobert to hit the bench. "Rudy can't play this series."

That seems like a stretch when he's basing it off Draymond Green's shooting.

Looks like Wolves isn't that good when faced with a tough defense.

Timberwolves 0-15 from 3 pt range.

I can understand the Dubs shaking up an inexperienced Rockets team.

The veteran Wolves melting down is a different story.

Draymond leading all scorers with 16 points. More than double the highest Minn scorer (Randle 8)

Probably doesn't care about the warriors any more after how theyve handled him.

Honestly I think part of his Icy Hot contract states that he has to include a product placement once a week on Inside The NBA.

The last 3 games of this playoffs show all of us that this lead is nothing. It will go down to the wire as it should and will give us another exciting finish. :lol:

Barkley just said Draymond is gonna play Gobert off the court lmao. 4-6 from three is very sustainable for him.

Cause lakers can’t play defense like the warriors and Luka is a cone

Rudy did just fine against Luka, LeBron & co but Draymond? Nah that's too much

Because the theme of this second round is wild comebacks, locking in WOLVES +3.5 at the half hoping we see another one of those wild endings.

Kerr needs to bench his ass for literally anyone else.

Imagine if Buzz Lightyears Ahead got Steph help right away instead of drafting The Three Stooges?

Yeah Draymond has 4 threes in a half. You would think that would mean the warriors have like 70 points. They have 42.

That's why I picked Warriors in three - they won't bother coming out for game four :wink:

OMG I just noticed Indy WON GAME 2!!! OMFG. I turned it off when Cavs got a 5 or 7 point lead with 43 seconds left. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!

Could easily flip and become the Wolves blowing them out.

Who wins and goes to the WCF's?
