Warriors have way too many scrubs on the floor. Spencer, Gary Payton Jr, and Podz have no business being on the floor in a Playoff game.

Minnesota took too long to start competing in this game. This should not happen in the playoffs.

I think the Warriors need to get to 98 points. Will be tough.

That was a good response by the Warriors.

Don’t let personal stats fool you. It’s exactly Lebron’s system - to get himself stats. But what has that won? Steph and him just have the same championships yet Lebron seems like a dinosaur relic compared to Steph.

Not to mention how many times Lebron has cowardly jumped ship and recruited superstars to his team unlike Steph who just develops players through his leadership and gravity.


Oh dang.. I thought you were being sarcastic with your previous reply. Kind of like how Steph homers and glazers absolutely overstate his gravitational multi-solar system quantum field pull. Bummer


And how Lebron stans overrate his greatness yet can only show 4 championships in 23 years of playing. Lol


You don’t know ball if you think Curry is close to Lebron. It’s almost a science as much as it is about your gravity equations of Steph just standing there in the locker room allowing Buddy to still shoot the way he has his whole career—albeit streaky. Last I checked the court is 94 feet long and Curry doesn’t sniff Lebron on the other side of that court. Absolute pylon in comparison.

Btw, I’m a massive fan of both of them. You scream deluded stan however.

The Warriors have played multiple guys today that might not be nba players.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Yeah, Wolves showed some life, too little too late though. Oh well, only 1 game, long way to go.

Good to see the Wolves show some heart there and mount a bit of a comeback, but now they'll have to play even better to close it out if they want to steal this back miraculously. They're gonna have to be goldfish about those first three quarters; some of the most embarrassing effort I've seen in a long time.
