Came close of being a top 10 play on SportsCenter play with that almost dunk. Good on Ant on stepping up in the 2nd half.

Great comeback by the wolves!

Good fight GSW. Game 4 is the most important game for both teams.

Ant's the 2nd most athletic SG ever and probably already has a better playoff dunk resume than the guy who's #1

shi-woo wrote:I feel bad for the Warrior fans. This was a great game, you cant expect that from your role players every game, and Jimmy was cooking early.

But unfortunately it seems like once the 4th quarter started Jimmy and Dray gassed out and were making sloppy plays. Jimmy went back to being passive Jimmy, and the team lost it's edge. Shame really, this was the game to steal and keep it a series so you might have Steph. Now it's just over...


All playoffs, these old man teams we've been playing have been running out of gas in the 4th.
Lakers and Warriors make us look dumb and young for much of the game, but can't sustain the effort needed for the game plan for 4 quarters.

People who say Ant is overrated just don't know basketball, it's comical.

I thought the Wolves would win this series though without Steph this is underwhelming. See how they play in game 4.

It's kind of shocking to me how talented these young teams are yet how bad they are at overall game management and decisionmaking. Was it always this bad and I was just too young of a viewer to realize?

Good game overall but he faded in the 4th quarter. This is probably their best punch without Curry.

Almost at the point declaring Ant to be the third best player in the world after Joker and SGA.

He talks the talk and walks the walk, like all the greats and legends of the game did in the playoffs.

Maybe. The Wolves do play down to the competition though and treated these short-handed Warriors team like they are just the Lakers.

They better work on that if they want to beat OKC/DEN.

Would have been a great series without the Steph injury. But now the Timberwolves got this.

Looks like this might be done in 5 games
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy
