My prediction is OKC sneaks out a win in game 4. MN controls, but doesn't dominate game 5. OKC closes out game 6.

The biggest difference in this game is the TWolves bench FINALLY came to play. 29-8 edge. It's expected because role players do play better at home.

The Wolves really need to come out aggressive in the second half. Don’t play with OKC because they will adjust.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

These playoffs have ranged from really good to really bad. We’ve had some of the flat out worst series ever in Heat-Cavs, Wolves-Warriors, Thunder-Grizz , etc … along with some of the absolute best playoff games of all time. Nuggets-Thunder game 1, Knicks-Pacers game 1, Cavs-Pacers game 2, Knicks-Celtics games 1 & 2, etc

That's true. But let's be real with ourselves, they were at home and he was cooking 15 points in 16 minutes. Deep down, I think you know that you don't win that game if he doesn't get hurt.

This Nova Knicks ATT commercial is underrated terrible. Their acting is worse than Oblivion character models

The reason they’re winning is the bench. Amazing how much better any team is when they have 3 guys show up from the bench.

It was due. Especially for Reid. He was shockingly bad in OKC. DDV is up and down, it seems.

OKC isn't winning two games on the road.

Wolves should not let up in the 3Q, continue sending that message. I want a hard foul on SGA, Holmygrem and Williams, no better message to send than a painful one— remember this is just not for this game but for G4 and the rest of the series.
