I think the goal for Brooklyn should be to keep Simmons and rehab him mentally. They need to build him up, make him feel good. He's a talented player no matter what, if he gets his read right he will be good for them. If they get a reasonable offer they can move him too. They can't do what Philly did and ostracize him, making him bitter.

Embiid gets screwed again with injuries. This game with Utah right now is super deflating, they got to be embarrassed as hell so far.

Donovan Mitchell is 0 of 7 from 3, 4 of 15 from the field for 9 points, and a -37. Think he will catch the kind of Heat KAT caught recently?

Also down 28 with around 5 minutes to go Quin Synder kept his starters in the game and Mitchell got hurt. Think the media will go after Snyder the way they did with Finch for timeout gate?

I don't want Embiid to get seriously hurt, but if he has to miss a game or two I'm just fine with that.

I don't think they will call them sawft and stupid as a box of rocks.

Random thought

Does the fact that we are starting to pick up trolls indicate that we have reached a higher level of success?

Are we finally “troll-worthy?”

If we could get Herb Jones this off-season we would be perfect. He's everything we need in a PF.

He can shoot threes okay enough, his defense is nuts and hes a decent rebounder.

The defense between Bev, McD, Jones, we'd be unstoppable.

I'd trade this year's pick and a future UFRP for him.

Pretty crazy the wolves outlasted the Clippers, Nuggets, Nets, Bulls, and Raptors in this post-season lol.

Chronologically we did, but not game-wise.

Let’s hope we’re not a 4-2 out also (like the Raptors ).

I’m gonna be so damn mad if bane comes back to earth on his 3PT shooting and shoots a pedestrian 34% and misses a good percentage of open ones too

He and Clarke both will be average role players against the warriors, it’s the timberwolves luck.

Well that’s a surprising start to the first half. Memphis is flat out faster and have more spring than GS.

Wolves could beat this warriors team with ease. Maybe we’re closer to the top than we give ourselves credit for.

Just don’t be dumb, lol

The way that wWarriros team was playing I don't think Minnesota or Memphis stand a chance but that is a great first half. Will be very surprised if it goes to 6 names or more but maybe. I'm pretty excited to see how the Grizzlies do. Clarke and Bane were superhuman in our series. If they can translate 80 percent of that, they will be tough to beat.

I think we will also see how good the wolves did in some areas. Morant struggled often against us. We eliminated Adams. We make Jackson foul out damn near every game. The wolves did a lot fo give them problems. Can the Warriors do the same?

Joel Embiid has to be cursed. Seems like that dude always gets hurt or some wild crap happens to him every playoff. Got some crap luck.

Neeva · Post #74 » by **Neeva** » Sun May 1, 2022 9:32 pm

Bane, clarke and Brooks are back to themselves today. Clarke zero offensive boards. bane 1-5 from three. LOL of course this would happen.

Karma for being a terrible person.

Jackson is going nuts. He looks so much better now that he doesn't have to play so funky due to KAT.

_AIJ_ · Post #77 » by **_AIJ_** » Sun May 1, 2022 10:14 pm

Of course Tyus clarke and bane are absolute garbage this game. Holy ****

_AIJ_ · Post #78 » by **_AIJ_** » Sun May 1, 2022 10:18 pm

Refs be doing that last series as well. VERY soft fouls on morant

Post #79 » by **Calinks** » Sun May 1, 2022 10:19 pm

Grizzlies going back to the Ja attack to finish the game its very efficient. Got to to be able to attack the basket, that's something the wolves have to work on, jump shots to end games are just too unreliable. Get some layups, get some free throws. Very effective, of course you need a player who can get to the rim.
