Has any team been the darling and villain of the league at the same time?
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Brunson does the SGA chicken wing nonsense but he also purposefully jumps into defenders after pump faking them and then has the audacity to raise his hand w how many fouls the poor guy has

Confident the Knicks can match either one of these teams in the Finals.

Not as good at what? If Brunson had shais whistle he’d average 35
A lot of players would average over 30 if they had his whistle.

Why isn’t Reid trying to score in the paint with Chet/hartenstein out of the game?

I’d love for anyone to tell me that Caruso isn’t the best defender in the league.

Reid is like 7'0 but plays like he's 6'3. MIN isn't even playing small and they are dreadful on both sides of the ball

People love to regard Presti as a tank god but his best moves have been trading for SGA and Caruso. Late lottery and g-leaguer going to get him his first ring.

Minnesota needs to figure out how to get Ant more/better looks. 13 shots is not going to cut it.

If Minny wants to have a chance.. they need to find a way to not play Naz and DiVincenzo. Both are liabilities in this series.

For me this was one of the keys to this series, along with turnovers. The Wolves need to dominate the paint to win, and also they have to be careful with the ball. They can do so much better than this.
