Wolves keep clawing back and pulling games out in the clutch, but I don't think that's gonna work against teams that aren't playing 5 guys or teams that aren't injured.

There are a lot of reasons Minnesota beat LA, but Games 3 & 4 went right down to the wire and Ant flat out took over both those 4th qtrs. He was the best player in the series.

Warriors hear me out.

Kuminga for Lebron.

He fits your timeline much better.

All teams take steps in the playoffs. The league is just more balanced now that you can’t mess around at all.

Not really. He was doing everything and was tired in the end, mainly caused by the Wolves’ great defense late in the 4Q.

Only ignorant and maybe jealous fans say that.

Given his age, after Wemby, Ant would the first player you would pick if you wanted to assemble a team from scratch/build around.

He is not overrated but his consistency it’s the problem

I saw his games where he is second coming of Michael Jordan but he also had games when he looks like a role player or below

Wolves head coach is very mid, wolves should have been up there with Thunder/cavs all season but they lose too many wtf games.

Kuminga broke down like a futon at a honey honeymoon.
Weird.
Dude seems emotional. They just need to win game 4 and they’re fine.

Draymond let him down fouling out. They could have won if Draymond played smart down the stretch.

How is it possible that Kuminga just can't miss? Dude is getting layup, hitting mid range, and fate away 3s? :dontknow:
