Never say never but if the Wolves take this 100% seriously they should be up 3-1. The Warriors don't have enough offensively and the Wolves will be able to limit Butler if there is no realy secondary threat.


BTW the Curry forecast is highly optimistic. It is the same situation as with OG last year.....those hamstrings, even if mild need AT LEAST 10 days to heal but in reality it is more a 3 week thing. If it is 2-2 he may give it a go, hope he can hit some 3s and stuff but a hamstring injury is NOT something that is going to be good in 1 week. I actually think there is a high chance we won't see him again this series (=this season).

A championship roster with Jrue Holiday and Middleton as primary defenders and Lopez and Giannis as secondary was shredded to pieces by Jimmy. Yes, this is an older and a bit washed version of him but all I am saying is one game. You cannot stop players like this when they enter the zone.

I will be stunned if Steph returns at all regardless of the series outcome.

Dude elbows Naz in the head and acts like there's a conspiracy against him.

Appologies if this isn't the right place to put this (mods can remove) but I happened upon this SHORT youtube video explaining the massive difference in talent between G leaguers and college stars and thought it was good. If we had a current draft thread for 2025 I'd have put it there.

Same. Only way I see him coming back is if it somehow gets to a game 6/7 and he is nowhere near 100% but tries to at least be a decoy.

That was what Green would do whenever Curry was out to avoid being in losses.

Love Green running to the race card. He is a person with a problem. The league does not offer consequences for his actions so it's really just us fans who support his behaviors.

The only problem with him being out of the league is that I have to see his dumb face on a broadcast team.

I know you were mad going through that search history, had to go back to page 2 just to find anything useful from 6 months ago about RJ 8-) But, I just have to go back 1 day to a week to find you talking crazy.

Your Wolves are looking shakey all of a sudden, is that MeL0 curse starting to act up? :o

How much points does RJ have in the playoffs?? Why can’t you answer the question? :lol:

Wolves are up by 22 and Randle has 20 points 10 assists. The Nodope curse is the nastiest!




I don't care about RJ, you're trying to compare your everyday undying love for Randle to me mentioning RJ 6 months ago, still fighting the RJ vs Randle stuff that ended how long ago? This is down bad of epic proportions.


Here's an easy game, I would rather have Hart, OG or Mikal individually than RJ.


You can't and won't say you'd rather have KAT over Randle :lol: Also, you didn't deny them being your Wolves. Repping another team while our boys are in a fight with the Champs? Just nasty.

How much points does RJ have in the playoffs? Why can’t you answer it? You didn’t even give Mikal a chance a month in the season to go back to lusting over a dusty robot. Nasty work!

My brother Nodope is still trying to come to terms with Randle beating the playoff allegations and his boy RJ still sitting at home. Hopefully he can accept reality one day! :D

At the end of his career Julius will surpass Paul Gasol at the very least. Top 10 PF at the very minimum baring some injuries.

They had to create a thread for you to deal with the loss of Randle, you are quite literally still talking about him, more so than you have about our 2 wins. That is the difference, I don't need to find 6 months old posts, I can just point to yesterday or today.
