I hope so I wanted this series to go 7.

Caruso looking lost on the defensive end. Very uncharacteristic.

Love Caruso complaining after committing 3 fouls prior to that call.

It’s just the first quarter lol

It is but the Wolves want to send a message tonight, after those two frustrating losses in OKC any non blowout win will be seen as a disappointment.

The Thunder are still favored to win this series regardless of the result tonight but for the Wolves they just want that confidence back.

Guess we now know what happens in an evenly called game.

Wtf, Caruso ball watching like a rookie.

what do you mean?

They need to wise up and start Caruso

Caruso adds a pinch of playmaking and help defense to their bench units. Both are things their starting lineup has an abundance of. Dort is the main POA defender, and on offense he's normally a better spot up shooter than Caruso is. Dort fits the starting lineup better.

Now Caruso has been hot and Dort has been pretty cold, so sure there's an argument to start Caruso but... this hardly feels urgent or worthwhile.

This is the turning point in the series. Winning 2 games at home means nothing.

Gobert is unplayable in the playoffs!

Gobert in the open court is always an adventure

Well hopefully this game is somewhat competitive

I remember Brunson fouled like that once and they called it a clear path :lol:

SGA didn't expect Gobert to trap there. He's been in drop coverage the entire series.

Not surprised at all. OKC looked exausted after game 2. Didn't think it would be this bad though

Michael Cera is annoying

Who wins Game 3?
