Kuminga can't do basic stuff, which is why he sits.

Speaks alot on the differences between Lebron and Curry’s leadership. Curry develops teammates, Lebron recruits teammates and then throws them under the bus hence they don’t really develop.

Out of all these teeams Wolves are the least impressive. If they lose this series facing a curryless warriors it's shameful.


We're a very up and down team.
You're overreacting to us playing bad right now. We're only down 3 while playing like dog water.


I just dont see it with this minny team. I'd have thought they'd come out wanting to stomp on GSW knowing Curry is out. Instead what we get is Warriors looking like the better team.

I might be overreacting but it'll still remain shameful if Finch loses a series against a warriors missing their superstar. Should also question where the teams mentality is at.

Is this 2016?

Next thing you gonna say is Curry let the coach do his job unlike LeBron.

Lol.

Sandy333 wrote:4th foul called on Draymond is confirmation that nba is now WWE. Draymond if anything is going backwards as Randle charges with his shoulder. Refs have already gifted Minnesota 20 points.

so the theory is the NBA desperately wants Minnesota to win???? and it's easier to do that by making bad calls here instead of just suspending Draymond for his antics? I stopped watching last season but that absolutely zero sense.
