Kuminga is definitely a superstar. Warriors need to set him free and send him to Portland

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!


I've taken a lot of grief defending them over the years. I feel like it's my birthday. :cry:

Minny better not have a lot of these turnovers against OKC or Denver in the WCFs.

Feel like I have been waiting all playoffs for the Timberwolves role guys/bench to start hitting their shots. Hope Donte can keep this up.

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.


He is a charming and fun and very likeable guy, unfortunately he was mistreated by (a minority it must be said) Knicks fans, such as a poster of him on the Knicks subway being destroyed by angry Knicks fans after a bad Knicks playoffs loss and once being booed very loudly after a loss to the Knicks which made his son cry.

As I say it's definitely not reflective of most Knicks fans whom I believe are loyal and passionate, it's just a very small number of rotten eggs (like in every fanbase really)

Its great to see him exorcise previous past Demons these playoffs. How can you not be genuinely happy for JuJu ??

Draymond playing like he want to go home. Might as well get him out.

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


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.


We beat Denver last year.

I checked your post history and you make some outlandish claims like LeBron joining the Wolves next year.

Yawn.

This is starting to get ugly.
Congrats Minny. Onto the WCfs.

Back to back seasons first time in their history. 3 overall (including 2004, KG/Wally teams).

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

I think it was Chuck in game 1 or 2. When he had back to back statements of,
"Rudy is getting played off the floor. He needs to sit in the 2nd half" and "Draymond won't continue to keep shooting like this"

Warriors have so many holes on this team. It’s just such a trash roster except for Steph and Jimmy. Where do they go in the draft

This Butler III sucks, nothing like the original. Should've known, trilogies are almost always bad
