Man, Minny should be up by 30 with the way the Dubs are playing offense.

Gobert is lucky he had that godly game against the lakers. He's so useless offensively and the only warrior points have been on him so he's not even helping defensively. Finch should just bench him and go small

These Warriors are just too old & small to stop Playoff Randle.

Wolves should be up 20 by now. Lots of missed ops.

The Wolves have this weird ability to make a playoff game feel like a bad regular season game. And they are not immune to those charms themselves

I'm going to go on a limb here, but GSW doesn't have enough scoring to win games without Steph. Like, I'm not sure they'll crack 90 pts.

Watching the Dubs makes me realize Steph should have won the last 2 MVP awards. He's been playing with a bunch of nobodies who can't create for themselves or others.

The Wolves are just so much better than the Warriors, don't understand how they lost game 1.

This series will be over in 5.

I'm sure Kerr would forfeit this game and save their legs if he could.

Wolves are playing more focused and CONNECTED on both ends today. Game 1 they looked like they were playing pre-season exhibition.

Except that strategy forced a game 7 last round
