Warriors vs. Timberwolves Predictions Thread

[Twinkie defense]

Warriors feel pretty confident about their chances tonight, and have figured some things out. T-Wolves are not a dominant team. Warriors could have easily won game three, even though Steph was out and Draymond had a bad game and fouled out. Let's get this to game five all tied up 2-2, best of three reset (and hopefully Stephen Curry is back for that so the Warriors can close this out).

Moody is not bad at anything but other than hitting open threes he isn’t good at anything either.

If we tied the series 2-2 do we get Curry back for game 7. Wolves really should take their Curry injury gift and not let this go to game 7 but I do not think these T-Wolves have the killer instinct they would need to sop this series from going to game 7.

But if you're a "3&D" player, which is pretty much his box, that's half his job. And while he's not a terrible defender, I don't think he's a particular standout at defending either. So what's left? If he's Amen Thompson you can live with the poor shooting, but he's not that. I don't think Moody can survive as a rotation guy without dropping 3s at a good clip. He's unplayable right now.

It's so weird Moody was such a positive part of a winning lineup you gotta wonder if he's injured or spooked or something... his shot is broken, that's for sure. At this point he should only catch and shoot. Don't dribble. Don't reload. Go to your spot, catch, if the shot is there launch it, and if not, get rid of it like a hot potato.

Yeah, I gotta think (or hope) that it's just a mental thing. Right now both Moody and Podz are in their own heads about missing shots and it's just a vicious cycle. Unfortunately they don't have time to work through it in the playoffs, Podz' inability to get any shot from anywhere on the court to go down absolutely killed us in the last game and Moody literally hasn't hit a single shot in the last 4 games (granted, with little playing time).

If you know how the league works.. you know the Wolves have a fairly easy win and a 3-1 lead and then close out in G5. Dubs are done for this season.

Moody hasn’t played well since Kerr benched him in the second half of the regular season game against Houston.

After 3.5 seasons of bench, he figures deep inside that Steve really doesn’t want him on the court, and that he’s always going to be the first yanked.

I remember they contagious three-point shooting of the “We Believe Warriors“ who either rained 3s on you or rained bricks on you. It was contagious and everybody was hitting or everybody was missing.
