2025 NBA PLAYOFFS West Semifinals: #6 Minnesota Timberwolves vs #7 Golden State Warriors (MIN leads 3-1)

Late to comment here, while Edwards goes bananas, but Gobert and McDaniels have completed changed this game defensively. Kerr might need to get Looney back in the game just to try and root Gobert out of the paint.

Probably flopped

Haha, I would like to think if he got clocked like that he at least got 2 free throws

He can’t do it 2 games in a row. Same with curry which is why they need each other. They are #11 seed without either of them

Someone will overpay, which is good news for warriors: a bigger TPE. Warriors have some assets but they don’t have salaries to match.

hmmm I'm worried Charlotte might fall for it. they can't win the draft or sign star players, so they end up over paying for wishful thinking and hopes

Twolves bench is in a slump. Will need them next round.

It's may not totally be that, but he has mentioned that he likes being able to be with his family, etc...

there is a reason Riley didn't want to break the bank on Butler

Bye bye Warriors. Placed a live line Wolves -9.5 so i expect you to make a game out of this now. LOL

Gobert is just standing in the paint and not respecting GPJ at all. Just shoot the ball then.

TBH he doesn't seem to have that with Warriors. I don't know if Kerr is holding him back, or if he doesn't feel it with this team.

Wonder what team gambles on Kumingas physical tools because the IQ is clearly not there.

I was against the trade. And not because i dont like JB. But Curry/JB/Dray are not contenders at this age. I would have sent out Wiggins/Steph/Dray for as many draft picks as i could get, and thrown Steph a parade.

And its not hindsight: i said this at the time.

Wolves look like World Champions in waiting to me.

Ant-Man is amazing

Minny too tuff, big, strong and deep for GSW.
GSW needs Steph back badly.

Post #257 » by **Diop** » Tue May 13, 2025 4:12 am

why have Ant bring the ball up with a player in his face. get someone else to bring it up and he can save the energy to burst in the half court

Post #258 » by **Domejandro** » Tue May 13, 2025 4:12 am

Something weird I've noticed is that Draymond Green palms the ball whenever he is galloping down court. I have absolutely no problem with it not being called (would kill the game flow and it is really minor), but it's an interesting quirk.

This is the best way to say it. Ant has some of that “killer” in him, coupled with insane athletic ability.

But he has a long way to go before he’s MJ. Doesn’t mean there aren’t some similarities though.

Playing a Curry less team can make you look like “world champions” just like OKC playing the Memphis Grizzlies made them look like “World Champions”.

Who wins Game 4?
