I'm more impressed with the Nuggets. If the Nuggets move on, I see Jokic taking advantage of the Warriors lack of size.

This Wolves team couldn't take advantage down low, I mean they had moments but that's it and Steph Curry was out most of the game.

They struggled with small ball and missing open 3's. 0-15 in the 1st half.

Bad loss by the Wolves. You can't lose this with Steph only playing 13 mins.

I thought the Twolves were very overrated. They beat a Lakers team that has zero defense. I wouldn't be surprised if they got swept.

Greenie knowing he spent all that time backing a loser in LaMeLo and having to watch Tyrese do this.

Maybe he'll have a play-in moment in 2 or 3 years :lol:

More proof the league is rigged; now it's rigged to entice more gambling action.

Obi contributing to winning, eyeing making the ECF 2X in a row.

Should we fire up the Obi redemption tour for the next 15 pages?

Hali is a problem. Not gonna lie...

I am disappointed in the wolves I thought this was going to be a hard fought series since for a team full of guys with something to prove….. the warriors are the ultimate team they can do that with.

They're playing against a team that can actually defend... This ain't the geriatric LeBron and fat Luka Lakers.

Also, a team with a great coach and Jimmy butler, Steph curry, and Draymond Green suiting up for you is always going to be tough to beat. Winning pedigree.

Idk Jimmy and Dray are just tough enough i can see them making this a series and maybe pulling off the upset. The wolves should win, but those two guys hate to lose and will go down fighting.

There's overrated and there's missing open 3's. They lost due to the latter. They had a better 2nd half despite giving up 36 points to the Warriors in the 3rd. GSW's offense isn't going to be this efficient. They'll come back down to Earth like a meteor.

Between them, they got zero offense (well, not zero, but you get the point). Green is sure as hell not going 4-6 again from 3. Seemed like that was T-Wolves game plan. Worked in the 2nd half when he went 0-4, but than Buddy caught fire. ANT (and Mike) had a godawful 1st half. ANT pulled it together because there's no one that can guard his drives. Mike did better controlling tempo, but his defense and shot making is on another slump.

Definitely a bad lost. I don't think it was coincidental that they left Green open on shots. Sound plan, but bricking open 3's doesn't make the strategy look good. And they struggled against the small ball lineup in the 1st half. They seemed to have figured it out in the 2nd half, but they were getting beat on those 50/50 balls.
