I’ll say the same thing I said in Q1 of the Denver game last night- just sit the starters. No point in putting minutes on them. Get them ready to play in California

looney, green, butler, podz, hield, moody and payton are probably the only serviceable players in this series. The rest are just pure trash

jackson-davis played well agsainst wolves in the regular season. I am curious how he would look

I don’t think that I have heard Draymonds name mentioned tonight?

Wolves vs Knicks Finals would be so dope.

Kat vs Randle
Devenci vs Villanova boys
Ant vs Knicks fans

Wolves in 6!

Antman you're officially the new face of the NBA.

Better effort by Wolves. I still question whether this team has the desire to win a championship. If they believe in it, or they're just happy to make some progress.

Ant has been a terrible finisher these playoffs. He relies way too much on his elevation. He has very little touch around the glass

Probably because they are lacrosse players and don't back down to anyone (their words)

Hopefully Ant spends next offseason working on his midrange or finishing package. His game still feels a little one dimensional for a star scorer

Agree. It seems to me most of those misses could easily be dunks too.

Such a shame the Wolves came out so flat in G1 and couldn't even take advantage of Curry being out.
With a win tonight, not a lock but I'm confident they get it, the series would pretty much be over.
2-0 with no Curry for at least a couple games if not more? Even the Warriors would know they're done
