Hot take: offensive flops are far worse for the game than defensive ones. Kuminga shamelessly falling down when guarded by Conley and getting rewarded by the refs.

Podziemski is Kyle Lowry 2.0

Unrelated to the game, it's so nice to listen to Legler on color. The difference between him and say, Doris Burke is night and day.

Impressed with that Podz challenge and how he raised his left hand to challenge once Ant starts to rise for that jumper

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.


We're the opposite of that. All season we showed up against the best teams, and then suffered humiliating losses to the worst teams in the league the next game.

We always come out looking very unserious when the stakes seem low. Immature team that let's their focus slip.

When Curry went down, I wasn't the only Minnesota fan that felt that was sneaky the worst thing that could have happened for us, haha.

Charles Barkley would own Draymond in the post, I don't understand why players now cannot score over a 6'7 guy who cannot block their shot....
I'm so tired of the typical......

Why is Randle trying to score on Draymond?

Chuck is a top 30 player all time, of course he would. Draymond is a great defender though.
