Timberwolves vs Warriors - Game 3 

Post#1 » by Impuniti » Sat May 10, 2025 1:31 pm

The boys stole one away and have the chance to take IMO the most pivotal game of the series, game 3. Introducing:

The toughest fighter in the team
Image


They call Himmy, they call him Buckets, they call Rachel Nichol's best bubble friend, he's the man that needs to carry this team to victory
Image


It's time for Temu Jack to stop shooting with one eye closed
Image


Time for Alfred to bring the game during 1 of every 3 games he shows up in
Image


And of course,for the 5th starter whose going to show up
Image

Absolutely no idea who the fock that is going to be but, they need to show up. And a key component with #strengthinnumbers is that the team, the role players have to show up this time around. Anyway.. onto the puppies.

Starting with not the real, not the real son of his Airness
Image

Jaden McDanields
Image

The man who needs to stop showing up and go back to what he does best during the playoffs
Image

An old man that needs to retire
Image

and a French product that comes with contamination included

- Dray needs to be elite defensively and not get any other techs/flagrants. Lead the team defensively and keep the Wolves below 100.
- Himmy needs to show up. Can't shoot 13 times when Curry is out, they need 25-30 on great efficiency on top of elite passing and defense.
- The 'others' need to show up. Moody is like 0/15 or something like that, Podz feels like he's shooting 10% from 3. Outside of Buddy in game 1, we're not seeing the others show up. They need to do it for tonight.


The key for the series IMO is tonight if Steph can come back healthy later on. They need to push the series to 6 and then have him come back after 12 or 13 days of rest. Tonight is the best chance for Warriors to get 1 game until game 6 after the first match. They won't have as much time to familiarize with the Warriors' without Steph, and Kerr essentially used last game to pick and choose on what works. Lots of experimentation means nobody knows what to expect from lineups that work moving forward. Now is the time for surprise.

the emotional lesbian needs to stay in control or we're F'd

feed off the home crowd energy to hopefully get some good performances from Podz and Buddy. but most of all we need a Jimmy night

Maybe the word he's looking for is thespian? Describing Draymond as an "emotional thespian" makes a lot more sense.

Jester only says these things to act flamboyant...not that there's anything wrong with that. :lol:

Key to game is just DON'T SUCK.

Kuminga probably gets blocked at least 4 times trying to do too much, but we need his scoring. Jimmy needs to do more, you don't get paid $50M+ to just be a facilitator. Either take Draymond money or step the f up. Draymond, let's see if you can go a whole game without whacking or kicking someone across the head. Or a quarter at least.

No idea how this will go, just for fun I'll say 94-93 win on a Podz tip-in. Go Dubs.

Key to the game: Hit many 3's.

Random stat of the game 1: Podz to take 6 charges.
Random stat of the game 2: 3 ejections, 1 will be a coach.

Key to the game... An assistant coach needs to KO Kerr if he ices his hot hands again.

I’m willing to take the delay of game if Buddy starts the game in a power ranger suit.

They are going with TJD in the lineup instead of Kuminga, maybe not the move I would have made but it would've drove me crazy going the same lineup as last game.

If they don't win tonight then game 4 becomes a win or go home game, no way they win 3 in a row even if Steph is scorching from 3.

The real question here is, what color Ranger would Buddy be?

Ima go with purple. He seems quite fruity.

Podz forces T-wolves to spend extra energy to hold him in check.
