This is going to be a sweep at this rate. The Wolves just can't cope with OKC's defensive depth, they have no scorers besides Ant and Randle. Meanwhile OKC have about 8 good to elite defenders to throw at them.

My god that was a disgusting play. He wasn't even trying to go toward the basket, his whole play was just to barrel into Reid for a foul call. What a gross brand of basketball he plays. Vomit inducing just watching him play.

Imagine having to to be defended by Wallace, Dort, and Caruso in a 7 game series if you're a guard... lmao, and then add in Jalen Williams. Most teams don't have 1 all defensive worthy perimeter defenders, OKC has 4 of them. I think they have the best perimeter defense of alltime, how they've been able to neautralize opposing guards has been so fun to watch.

What about Carlisle? Nesmith? Nembhard? Haliburton? Ever heard of them?

Lol at Edwards for thinking that playing offball would solve all their problems.

Divincenzo may be unplayable this series
He’s awful on both ends against this tenaciousness and athleticism

OKC able to make the difference in the third like the Warriors used to

If the Pacers were playing I'd think there is a chance at a comeback, but I feel it's safe to go to bed lol.

Series isn't over but I think the game is.

Brunson has always been better

Hali and Brunson haven’t seen this defense. They play soft and vanilla schemes in that series.

Lets see, they went through the Lakers and Warriors without Steph. Thunder beating the Nuggets was way more impressive.

The difference in the Ant/Tatum discourse is literally the Flirting vs Harrasment meme

i've said before but OKC and DEN was the real WCF, this MIN team can't overcome this OKC defense and they can't muddy the game up to their favor like DEN did

Scooby Doo isn’t a “great” defender like his stans claim but he’s surrounded by them. And it helps they never get called for fouls. So you have to figure that out too.

Could be OKC's toughest series.

Only team that has the best player on the floor vs OKC.

Minny played the Lakers and a Curry-less Warriors before that
OKC is arguably the first real playoff caliber team they're facing and the whiplash is real

If the finals is OKC vs IND, I'm going to put a couple hundred on OKC sweeping lol

I said this before the series started. That Minnesota needs to stop their silly turnovers (they do that a lot). Otherwise this could be a very short series.
You could get away with that against old azz Lakers/GSW, but you cant don't do that against a young very good OKC team.

Who wins?
