Kuminga has 9 points on 7 shots, 1 rebound and no assists with two turnovers and people are losing their minds about how good he is lol

Spencer is just wandering around lost and none of the Wolves are paying any attention to him

One of the shots was a half-court heave at the end of the quarter. The Warriors had nothing going on offense until he checked in the game.

He just air balled a wide open 3 by two feet, so point still stands

Honestly just hoping this series gets to a game 6 so we can see Steph play at least one more game this postseason.

He is just totally unfocused and locked in. I saw it in Game 4. He's even worse tonight. Just doing dumb **** all over the place.

Based on my observations of the past few games, if Curry were healthy, this would be a 4-1 (or at the worst a 4-2 series) win for the Warriors.

I’ve noticed it a ton on the defensive side. He seems to be a bit lazy right now and not interested in rotation close outs

Wolves roster is crazy talented but they have mental lapses that make you want to pull your hair out.
