Worst part of this is the Wolves only have 9 turnovers. They're just outclassed.

Man this OKC team is good. Denver taking them 7 with about 3 and a half healthy, serviceable bodies was very impressive

This might be a sweep. Maybe 5 games max.

Rudy Gobert has been an unmitigated disaster in this series

Curious why you think it has played out this way? Denver had a bottom third defense all season, but looked pretty impressive against the Clippers and OKC

I'm hoping with Taylor gone KG comes in and provides that. KG played with an intensity very few have, it would do Ant some good to spend some time with him.

KG would be great. ANT has it in him to be truly a top dog of the NBA.

Is there anything the Wolves can hang their hat on? This series looks like a sweep.

Minny split season series with Gobert not playing in two of the wins? Had the lead in 4th in one of their losses. This Minnesota team looks off.

I do see Scott Foster and Tony Brothers, though. :lol:

Yep. If turnovers are relatively low and it’s almost a blowout that just means you’re not good enough.

I had OKC in 6, but this is looking like a 5 game series. They probably get one back in Minny and that is it.
