Warriors without Steph are a lottery team.

Wolves have been awful so far in the 2nd round…they can’t possibly play any worse. I expect the Wolves to finish this off in 5.

…but it’s the Wolves, so it’ll probably go Game 7 with Steph returning in epic fashion.

True. The GSW roster has no shotcreation or shooting. For everyone that gripes about the gsw cast being deep, they are not. It is a depth of "would not see any meaningful minutes on any other team". There is a max of 5 teams in the nba that has less offense than GSW if star players are excluded.

But, they just need to get 1 out of 3. 1 out of 3.

I'm thinking Warriors in 7 at this point. Jimmy wills the Warriors to a win in one of the home games. Minny gets 2 more blowouts. Curry returns for Game 6 since they don't bring him back until they're facing elimination.

The effort level needs to be noticeably greater than the Wolves tonight.

Minnesota should be clearly favored, but gut tells me Golden State somehow wins an ugly one.

Anywho, winner of this series will get annihilated by OKC/DEN.

If the wolves play a B level game they'll win. Won't matter what anyone else on the Warriors does

It's tough to tell if a Jimmy game is one where he shows up huge or one where he just mails it in like last game (or half the season).

bisme37, did the mods decide on game threads or is it just you. Why are threads ending every game now even when under 100 pages?

Minnesota needs to show out tonight. They already no showed Game 1. No excuses letting Curry less Dubs keep putting you a game back.

Any odds on how long Dray plays before he gets ejected?
