Jaden and Ant just need to takeover to put away this series in the next two games. NAW and DDV belong on the bench, they have been big nevatives mostly on the court, why not give Jaylen a shot?

We have an incredibly frustrating way of turning opposing scrub players into superstars. Jonathan FREAKING Kuminga. Doesn't matter. We won.

It’s okay he will suck next two games. If this game makes warriors overpay him , good.

Draymond fouling out really took all the grit out of their defense.

Ant or Jaden should be defending Butler all game there was no excuse for all the easy buckets he got the first 3 quarters.

The help defense finally came to play in the 4th quarter.

Randle does some things that really really frustrate you but I have to hand it to him for having a great 2nd half and grabbing some big rebounds and taking good care of the ball in the 4th quarter.

I think they learned their lesson when they paid Andrew Wiggins. Kerr hates him.
But we'll see. If anything they might try to sign and trade him.

DDV and NAW are in a daze right now. DDV couldn't stop fouling and I thought that NAW 3 airball and then a missed layup right after will be the reason they lost. Have to wake up ffs, this bench was supposed to be the biggest leverage Wolves had against most teams.

Not sure what it’s gonna take for Finch to give Clark a shot, dude is all energy and defense. He couldn’t have been any worse than those two today.

I meant to call you out on this post. Ant was en fuego when you made it and kept it going to the end.

I won't complain about winning in 7, but I'd much prefer winning in 5. Take care of Business Wolves.

Clark has zero ballhandling and we can't afford that if he were to replace NAW or DDV in the rotation.
Finch played him a lot as a smallball 4 when Julius and Rudy were out.

Say what you will about NAW and his shooting, he has at least been able to fix his turnover problems from last year's playoffs where we couldnt even rely on him to bring the ball up the court.

Dante was on the wrong end of a couple of awful flops tonight.
He's been really guilty of trying to force a lot of offense in the playoffs and has not been able to find the balance between aggressiveness and irrational confidence.
