Your predictions are as good as when you smugly betted for the Clippers and Lakers in round 1. Aka, not good at all.


How many times you gonna keep bringing that same **** up? You seem more hurt about my losses than me.

IDGAF about your losses fam, that point is only to reinforce how certain you are in your bad takes. It is comedic.


Shame on me for betting on my team….FYI casinos were also on the Lakers. But what do they know.

You could have done it and not smugly proclaimed on here how confident you felt in your predictions. It reflects poorly on your ability to have good basketball takes lol.

All these years and the best you give him is gobert

All these years of what? An under 20 PER? A .90 WS/48? A DRtg higher than his ORtg? He’s just not that good. I’ve said it for years, he’s all flash and no substance or killer instinct.


If anything, I think Ant has had more than enough help for the early portion of his career. Not many players have as deep of a team as he does. If 23 year old Luka had this Wolves team, he probably is a champion by now.

All these years....he's 23 years old :lol: , he just finished his rookie contract last year lol

They've definitely overhyped him but damn would you give the kid enough time to at least grow a moustache before you write him off?!

They know that there are a lot more Laker fans in the world and as result they place a greater volume of bets.

problem with ant is that he doesn't need more help.

he still needs to help someone. offensive game is too simplystic. needs more polish under a competent pg.

darius garland would be great

Wolves have had the worst PG rotation of the playoff teams the last two years

who wouldn't you switch them with?

Naz doesn’t wanna play today. If anything, they should’ve laid the wood on SGA like that earlier in the series.

It's not the refs. The Thunder are simply a superior team on offense, defense, transition, coaching, you name it. Indiana are going to have their hands full.

Minnesota shouldn’t have bothered dressing up. You can tell many players on the team just quit. Edward’s, Conley, Mcdaniels, that kid off the bench are the only ones that showed up.

If I was Minnesota's front office, I’d be taking notes.

Congrats to the Thunder on winning their first championship. They’re elite and will dominate for years to come.
