Congrats OKC!

Y'all are clearly the superior team and as close to a lock to win the title as can be. I'd rather a small market win the Championship than a big market.

We were better then the rest of the West but you guys are simply in a class of your own.

Line is low, I think the Wolves take game 3. Obviously with their season on the line and being at home you would think they’ll be able to figure this out. I expect a close game.

Nice jinx attempt, but not buying this one at all.

I'm sincere!

Promise! I love to troll but at my core I'm a realist!

Timberwolves win tonight, then the series forks in game 4 to either a daunting 3-1 or very competitive 2-2.

If the wolves don't change the defensive scheme on sga that is a fireable offense for the coaching staff. Please look at how nuggets defended him with zone and double teams

[Chuck Everett]

3-0 tonight. Minnesota's second must win of the playoffs, but I still don't trust them not to turn over the basketball. Conley had a good +/- last game, but it was not impactful because he can't guard nor run with these young boys.

Great season Minnesota, but this is just a repeat of last year against the Mavs.

The good news for the Twolves is after they get swept Julius Randle has built up his trade value enough that I can see a swap for KD this off-season.

PHX could actually use Randle they have nothing on their frontcourt.

[Loaf_of_bread]

Only chance MN wins is by integration of a fundamental change in personnel or scheme.

Randle is UFA.
Correction: he has a player option but i don’t think he takes that as is too low and he has a high value as you said. Suns are second apron and can’t really do sign and trade

Oh come on man,
Don’t give up, they have the
“King Slayer” You know the anointed one who slayed Jokic, King James and the Don, Luka.
they also have Bully Ball master, the man whose enormous physical strength would be impossible to stop, Super Julius Randle.
Also have the taller and athletic Jayden who will handcuff. SGA.

Once again the officiating will determine the result. Will there be two sets of rules again as in almost every game in these playoffs? Or do they have to extend the series to generate more artifical excitement? Oh the suspense...

AntMan goes berserk and drops 40
Reid finds 3 pt stroke and goes 8-10.
SGA plays flat and allows JDM to smother him.
DDV and Conley deliver killer blows to seal it. TWolves fans get excited

No matter the outcome of this game, this series is over. OKC just significantly better than us.
