They are not building a dynasty. Not good enough, barely beat Nuggets team with 3 and a half players rotation.

They are not big market or franchise.

They are boring af. Shai is the mid range version of Harden and the other guys lack personality. If this team say dominates the league for 5 years, the ratings will go down.

They do not have big international representative.

So why the hell are they getting all the damn calls?????????????


He is setting them up for the Knicks to take them down in the Finals

The New York Knicks are America's Team

Iron and other Randle haters has been waiting all playoffs for Randle to have a poor game so they can sht on him. But 28 points 8 rebounds on 90% TS is the closest there gonna get. :lol:

Played right into OKC's hands.

Let Randle dominate the action in the first half so none of the Minny shooters can find their rhythm .

They easily put the clamps on Randle in the second half, took advantage of him on defense, and ran away with it.

Great coaching by Daigneault.

Hope Minny can adjust their game plan for game two.

Poor Naz is just a victim.

He couldn't get in a rhythm because Randle highjacked the offense.

I'm afraid that poor, innocent RJ was suffering the same cruel oppression that Naz is now enduring under Randle's iron fist of ball-domination.

The only times the Timberwolves have beaten the Thunder this season were with Naz starting.

Wide open looks too. They would’ve won if they made them.

Credit the Thunder's defense. Shooters never got in a rhythm.

And their "open" looks end up being rushed because the defenders close out so fast.

Knicks need to get out to figure out how to overcome the thunders' foot speed on defense. And Chet puts a lid on any attempts at the rim.

:lol: RJ left the Knicks and we became championship contenders. Randle is starting on a championship contender in the gruesome Western conference. RJ led the raptors to the lottery :lol: Thank god the Knicks and Randle got away from him or they would be losing just like him. Tell your boy naz Reid to stop watching no j Barrett film. Not doing his team any favors!

Yes, SGA is the true free throw merchant of the NBA now. But OKC's defense is legit. I remember at the start of the 2nd half against us this season, they clamped us and went on a run that we could never recover.

I fell asleep shortly after halftime but in the first half they looked like they were missing wide open looks and it wasn’t due to OKCs defense. Maybe that changed in the 2nd half

The RJ talk is just a distraction tactic....

The poor Timberwolves were torn out the frame by 30 points because Naz wasn't starting.

Wolves fell into the trap of letting Randle put up empty stats at the expense of the team.
