Minny implosion.

Denver could end up being OKC's toughest series of the playoffs.

SGA shoots under 40% for the fifth time in this postseason. OKC is 4-1 in those games and the only loss came in OT.

But I was being disingenuous when I said Ant was playing like crap.

Caruso is so good. Another one in the long long list of Lebron’s great teammates. He is really blessed and lucky

Boring game, series over in 5 games at most. Truthfully, if curry never got hurt, warriors would’ve won

It just makes Jokic’s showing in that OKC series even crazier when you think about how stacked that team was.

Ok, good game, everyone.

Sorry about the referees, Wolves fans.

This is the first quality team the Wolves faced these playoffs.

The lowly Lakers were first round fodders and the Warriors lost Steph early in their series.

They can play better than this.

I had OKC in 5... not seeing anything that changes my mind. This team was perfectly constructed to win it all. The Hartenstein and Caruso pickups were the icing on the cake.

Jordan averaged 10 FTA per game in the playoffs. Just so we’re all on the same page.

Came sort of close to the biggest upset ever.
