2025 WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: #1 Oklahoma City Thunder vs #6 Minnesota Timberwolves (OKC leads 3-1)

Horrific defense by the TWolves. They can't decide whether to take away the 3 or not. To make matters worse, their rebounding has also collapsed. The Thunder had 11 offensive rebounds in the first half. Ant Edwards can't let Dort dictate where he's going to go.

Another vanishing act from the Great Anthonio

Y’all whine too much. It’s in FTA’s DNA to flop and be a free throw merchant. Jokic only does it when the NBA allows the Thunder to hack and foul him and doesn’t give him the calls he deserves.

Yep, people don't realize how much Minnesota's defense blows when he is off of the court.

Naz Reid has been pretty bad. Thought he was better than this.

There was plenty of chatter about Jokic flopping.
But there was also a discussion of justifying it since he was getting hit/hacked constantly.

lol Jokic gets mauled. Scratched allover every game and doesn’t get nearly the amount of calls SGA does

He is so good at faking, I would have love him if he is a woman. Should had won an Oscar along with the MVP

Jokic does strategic and purposeful flops unlike the others so it’s okay when he does it!

Every now and then you see a post that genuinely surprises you

I don't see how the Wolves win this.

They are playing the wrong players. Shannon has been a spark plug yet he's riding the bench for long periods for guys like Conley and Divi.

The way they let Caruso do whatever he wanted to do on defense vs Jokic was crazy to watch for an entire game. I just don't understand how Dort and Caruso are allowed to play football and McDaniels better keep his hands to himself.

Credit to FTA for locking the defender's arms instead of looking at the basket. It's much easier to flop and act than to actually put the ball in the basket.

FTA putting on a masterclass performance. MVP and Finals MVP locked up.

You know it's bad when Doris Burke is calling you a free throw merchant for a second game lmao.

SGA's foul baiting hasn't even been all that this game. Peeps are just bitter.
