Minny has used a 9th man. That's a start.

Wolves defenders hanging out in the locker room to defend him, keep the court open for the Warriors offense.

I can't believe how unprepared the Wolves were for this game and series.

Wolves shooters haven't adjusted their arc to account for the gravitational effect of Steph in the locker room.

The Lakers played heliocentric basketball. Much easier to defend. Slow.
This Warriors offense is a real system with players moving at all times.

The Wolves only play well when they are the underdog

The 2005-06 Suns will always have a special place in my heart

After several incredible playoff games so far, this is a historically pathetic performance. They might lose by 35.

Rescinding that center deal may have cost LA a shot at a ring this year.
I don’t think that Williams would have made that much of a difference. They went after the wrong 5 with their assets and the needed a point of attack defender too to have any shot at all.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

50% vs 9% from 3 will make a difference.

What a pathetic effort from Minnesota. Curry goes down and the Warriors double their lead.

The Timberwolves may not be nearly good as we thought they were. The second they play a halfway decent team, they are getting blown out without their best player.
