Good comeback for the Wolves, ugly game but got it done. Looks like Kerr will need to keep playing Kuminga for better or for worse. A mix of Jimmy, Hield and Kuminga had a strong game it they got drained by the 4th Q. Podz needs to hit shots man.

Let's interview Anthony Edwards by playing a highlight reel while he is talking and cut away to Julius Randle immediately after.

The complete lack of quality among broadcast switchers always astounds me.

Eh at the end of the day, they did fine this season. They do have one final year for their title window next year so at least there’s something to look forward to. (unlike say the Lakers whose title contention is shut if they don’t make any changes)

Jimmy with 33/7/7 on 12-26

Dude can't catch a break

Finch took Butler out of the last 6 minutes of that game. That was the game.

Kuminga for Lebron.

He fits your timeline much better.

Man it's a good thing you're not a GM

Slim would love that trade :lol:

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

Ant is not better than Giannis

Weird.
Dude seems emotional. They just need to win game 4 and they’re fine.

We know it's you Mark Jones

He’s been very un-Randlesque all playoffs. Playing great.

I'm telling you guys - he started off every year badly and ended every year playing like this. He's just been injured the past two playoffs.

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

That same grace was not extended to the Lakers stars last series

Series probably over. GSW needs Steph back at full strength.

Minn close to being in WCFs in back to back season, first time their franchise history. That's wild lol

I think the Wolves are definitely bringing him back next season after all his playoff heroics

In the playoffs. He had a bunch for us.

Stylistically I think Donovan Mitchell is the best contemporary comp to MJ, but ANT does kinda look like him and is a better comp athletically lol

People forget Giannis exists all the damn time. The guy averaged 30.4/12/6.5 on the season. He is absurd.

Man Butler looked finished in that 4th

jkvonny · Post #557 » by **jkvonny** » Sun May 11, 2025 3:28 am

Butler is good in playoff games. Shame he's always seems to be on teams shorthanded.

He was gassed in the 4th qrtr

Because everyone knew that the Lakers weren’t title contenders anyway so no one took them seriously.

If anything this game made me think this series is not as over as I first thought
Both teams seem pretty close to each other without Curry

Kuminga had 30 coming off the bench, but it's still his fault, according to some people. Dude needs to leave this organization. Go where you are appreciated dude.

Who wins?
