No Steph and Minny is still getting exposed. Really puts into perspective how bad the Lakers were.

This is an early 2000s Pistons type of game.

Gobert needs to be wide open to do anything with the ball. If any player is near him, no matter how small, he will most likely turn it over or miss.

He has such bad hands.

:lol: :lol: while also saying that Draymond won't keep shooting like this.

So Rudy can't play in this series because of Draymond's unsustainable shooting? Charles is spouting Shaq-like nonsense.

Warriors are much better defensively than the Lakers but a lot of the Wolves shots were open as well. I expect them to shoot better moving forward.

Chuck: Edwards shoots too many 3's
Chuck: warriors need to let Draymond bomb away.

The **** are the Timberwolves doing? Didn't they practice? How do you go 0/15 on shots you take everyday?

The veteran Wolves melting down is a different story.

There's a difference between being inexperienced and just not having the clutch gene.

And these are some absurdly ugly shots too. Not even close.

What else is new? This “king slayer” **** propaganda by the media so they can have a new “face” of the nba. Joker went through him, KD, Booker, Lebron, AD, Butler and they didn’t hype Joker up like that.

Edwards had average games against the Lakers and like one truly great game.

I'm not a fan of Edwards, really, but I do kinda hope he comes out and absolutely balls out. I just doubt it'll happen; Jimmy and Dray smell blood in the water.

All that coming after a game where he shot 0-11 from the 3 was the chefs kiss of brain dead propaganda.
