Aside from Ant, their athleticism is only strength and vertical.. the Rockets athleticism was lateral speed, strength and vertical.. the Warriors offense is tailored for a Minn style lineup vs a Rockets style lineup. Dubs vs OKC will go 7. OKC is part Houston, part Minn.


Wolves are a really slow team


And they’re not nearly as good on the glass as Houston. They’re a big team but don’t play big like Houston with Adams/Sengun

Yeah. This is still a long way to go. I am not confident the Warriors can sustain their hot shooting.


Dude it’s 18 point lead , stop playing the victim :lol:

Don’t let the Wolves hang around, Steph is not here to save the day. If they get within 5-10 by the end of the 3rd, it could be trouble.

The Lakers have like 4 players that are worthy of being on an NBA roster. Tried telling people that the Wolves are also a bad team. No one wanted to listen.

Luka
Lebron
Reaves
DFS
Rui
Vanderbilt
Hayes

But that's more than 4


Hayes is not an NBA-level player. Vando and DFS are defensive specialists that provide next to nothing offensively. The Lakers are a really, really, really poorly constructed team.

Dubs have played 12 guys.

Just what I was afraid of for Minny.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
