Anthony Edwards got embarrassed by the MVP on his home court. A pitiful performance.

Didn’t we do the same thing with the big three? It’s cool they are that tight.

I mean those felt like pretty sincere answers to the questions asked to me
Yeah the poster you quoted is reaching. These guys seem to sincerely get along and their interviews never seem forced or cringe.

Lol people getting excited bc fLuka looks a little less fat in the off-season.
No Luka unloaded himself all over the Minnesota franchise last season. This was Cant man’s turn to prove all the narratives about him being better than Luka correct. Dude doesn’t have that killer instinct.

Ant Man is a top 10 player. Thats all that needs to be said about him. He’s got ways to go be considered a superstar. Way too inconsistent.

If the story is true, they declined Ant for Luka.
Luka with a squad that gets you 60+ from the bench?
Sheesh.

I was so wrong about Gobert. He's the main reason this isn't totally over yet.
JDub/Chet showed up big time today.

Question is what do they do with a mental midget that is their best player to get him to understand that you can’t just take 2 shots in a half. Dude has no drive. Looked lethargic most of the game. Randle was bad but Anthony Edwards was why they lost. All the others made up for Randle being bad. Can’t say the same for Cant man.
Somebody trying a little too hard to be Skip Bayless

Minny as a team did everything better except take care of the ball.
Minny’s bench was great. Rudy was really good.
Naw is getting paid

I wonder if they ever attempt to change that end of game scenario.
It's such a brutal watch.

TWolves did some good things tonight but they just couldn't get a stop when they needed one.
Jokic 31/21/22
Luka & Oscar = 5 x 27/8/8
The Brodie = All-out energy

Imagine having such a great bench and you can’t win a game with them. You know how many players would love to have a great bench like that?

That was close to perfect play from the big 3, maybe their best game together.
Bench was uncharacteristically quiet.

Can't turn the ball over 21 times and expect to win in the playoffs. That was the difference in the game really

OKC big 3 were awesome tonight, but Wolves gave that game away.
doesn't mean anything because then you're taking away touches from their bench if they were cooking. just because Randle and Ant go off does not mean the rest of the team get their touches and bench scoring.
They went 6/20 with 10 turnovers combined. Come on
you said if they showed up. if either showed up and one of those guys shot 20 FGAs by themselves (and made a good portion of them), it would have offset any passes and plays set up by them.
and it was a moot point, OKC had an answer for every SINGLE run by the wolves. they did not give up the lead.

Bosh would usually be out of the locker room first and go to the podium on his own and Lebron and Wade would often go together after. On court interviews sometimes they came and messed with eachother during interviews but this is definitely a little different.
