i have an OKC futures bet but really impressed with the Wolves’ balance on both ends of the floor. Might have to pick them in the series vs the Thunder even if they are the underdogs.

Read on Twitter

Fun fact I just learned about him is that he has a dog he named "Droolius Randle", and in honor of A'mare Stoudemire working with him in the offseason during his New York Knicks time he got a cat which he named "A'meowry Stoudemire". This is why I always like reading about the man behind the player, you discover these little fun tidbits of information.

GSW is out matched.

Is Jimmy Butler’s athleticism totally cooked? He blew by Jaden McDaniels and decided to flail into him instead of going for the and-one. Just weird, he’s been really weak around the rim the entire series.

Warriors ready for a nice vacation

This is Emperor Ant's time, Fam, yes, indeed !

Luka last year vs Wolves in playoffs when he actually had a squad...

32.4, 9.6, 8.2. 63ts%. 125ortg.

4-1.

Ant ain't on Luka's level.

Luka with just decent help can get you to the finals.

Ant will not beat Denver or OKC.

There's a reason he didn't want to play until he got his extension money.

He still has 6 fouls to give

Draymond is going to take a double T once the game is out of reach. I am betting (not really betting) 8:00 mark in the 4th qtr.

Gobert's revenge. First against Luka. Now against Draymond.

The Wolves exist in a universe where Julius Randle is the playoffs best second option and Rudy Gobert loves close out games.

Connelly couldn’t wear a suit to the game? Society is fading fast

It's springtime. Business casual on a Wednesday night.

The Gobert revenge tour and Randle redemption tour have been absolute cinema!

I don't think I have heard talk about Rudy being played off the floor in about 4 games now. A playoff record!

If only Podz played like this in game 3, then Warriors would probably be still alive. Too unreliable to keep him, but I am not sure what his value is

Wolves in arena presentation in time outs is annoying

Minny isn't even defending GS when they take a 3.
Imagine saying that a few years ago.

Who wins Game 5?
