I just aren't enjoying this game as much as I should after what happened to the lottery. Just here wondering which team Adam Silver wants to advance :(

How are the Wolves making their playoff games feel like regular season games? I don't know what it is. Am I the only one feeling weird watching them?

Seeing guys the size of Naz Reid making step back 3's still surprises and impresses me

Curry going down has killed like 70 percent of my excitement for this series.

There's something so funny about Randle being so dominant on offense at times while also having such sloppy handles doing it.

Went to look at Ant's shooting percentage around the rim in the regular season after seeing him fail to finish so many times in these playoffs.
He's at 55%. Not awful but not great either for someone so explosive and athletic.
For comparison SGA is at 61%, Luka 59, Tatum 62

Why not? Provided some good minutes earlier in the series. Podz looking as JAGgy as they come. 3 for last 16.

Don't seem to have killer instinct. For some reason, it feels like they're going through the motions for most of the game.

Randle needs to keep it simple, he looks to strong for GSW
