I'm ready for a Minnesota - New York/Indiana final after how much everyone talked about nobody having a chance against the top 3 teams except the oldies.

Good call, and it’s very true. Worse, it’s been going on for three years.

The best way to beat the Wolves is to tell Ant that Minnesota is favored.

I am good with that outcome. I need the Knicks to be relevant in the NBA. It’s just good for the sport. Indy, Minny or OKC would be great too I like smaller markets competing. Make it happen Silver! Vince McMahon I think is banned from the WWE so he can help Silver with the storylines in the NBA. Draymond already recorded his promo for tonight.

Already been cleared up, nobody said that seriously but I made a joke about Ant getting hurt because of "warriors basketball", and one about the warriors having no answer for Randle other than injuring him too.

I do think the warriors push the line between gritty and dirty the way Miami often has, but I don't think they intentionally try to injure opponents. They may be more reckless than the average team because of what they are used to getting away with...but again, what happened to ant looked like an accident.

It reminds me of a Mayor Daley press conference. Just a master of off topic deflection. “Why do you want to talk about my son? My son died when he was 2”. Um Mayor we are asking about another son the one involved in a murder charge… oh wait too late you already walked off the podium.

Draymond saying dumb stuff, bad sign for the next 2 games.

Warriors need 1 of the next 2 at home or we all know it's over. Buddy has to get hot, Steve tighten the rotations based on who played well tonight, and pray Jimmy can get more aggressive and be sucessful.

This G-League Warriors team could lose both.


I don't wanna say it'll take a mini-miracle for them to avoid losing both...but I'll be very surprised if Minnesota doesn't come back to minnesota with a chance to put the warriors away.


i think the Warriors are just not a very good team without Steph Curry. Yes, we can point to the G1 upset but that's more on the Wolves really playing bad, falling big early and just no gameplan vs a Warriors team w/o Steph.

It's just so easy to beat this Warriors team. Stop Jimmy and you have your shot at winning already. Stop the role players too, and that's an easy blowout. i have no doubt one or both of the games in Golden State can be close games if the Warriors hit their outside shots, but that's also a big if considering Minnesota's defense.


I have no doubts Jimmy and the role players will ball out at home. Minnesota will struggle in that building. Especially their offense
