Wolves have no answer for quick guards. Kyrie killed them last year, SGA's killing them now, Steph would've killed them if he didn't get injured.

You sincerely don’t think that was a foul?

Some of you are exhausting.


you don't think SGA initiated the contact there? follow up question, do you think that same exact play happened to Ant at least 3x this game? he has 1 FTA

That wasn't a playoff foul imo, but the reffing overall today has been fine. Yall need to stop whining. Wolves are just outclassed in this matchup

This series isn't competitive at all. The real WCF was OKC vs. DEN.

Turn on the TV and Scooby Doo is shooting free throws. The NBA just doesn’t get it. Oh well.

Denver was the second best team in the west. And that’s a team with a 5.5 man rotation

I think it was the real NBA Finals but that's not fair to the East teams.

Kobe being alive and a mentor for Ant would’ve been great for him.
