Series Thread: 2) Memphis Grizzlies vs. 7) Minnesota Timberwolves

[Picklerick 2.0]

Such a bullshit flagrant call even if it was correct.

That Minnesota crowd seems to be a legit home court advantage. They sure were for the play in game.

I mean, this is a curbstomping. Now, Memphis might very well win this in 6 or 7. But if they lose in 6, all the 'these guys are a sneaky title team' takes sound pretty dumb. 7 game series losses aren't flukes.

Playoff inexperience. There’s a reason why teams led by young guys don’t close on titles. It’s a different game and it takes experience to pull it off. In that regard, these young bucks can’t lose, all they can do is learn if coach has them in a growth mindset which is what a coach of a young group should be establishing since day 1 of camp. Their best days are ahead of them.

minnesota isn't very experienced it

Did we overhype Memphis? Not saying they lose this series (yet) but hmmm

Apparently so

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Wolves collapsing again. Good lord.

Ant isn’t. DeLo has seen playoffs. KAT has seen playoffs. Pat Bev plays a big role for them and he has seen a lot of playoffs. That’s more experience than what Memphis brings. It’s pretty much Steven Adams and he’s been devalued in this series because of matchups.

Why isn't Steven Adams playing tonight for Memphis?

I was curious how Memphis regular season success would translate to the playoffs.

It isnt.

Ain't done yet....

Morant and brooks played the same amount of series as Dlo and Kat.

Slo mo got experience as well. The experience is about even

At least Towns is playing nice D. Because he's non existent on offense. Barkley is right. This team is dumb as hell.

Because Tillman matches up better with Towns

Sphincters tight in Minny...

 

[bksballer89]

21-0 run

Days that end in Y, bro.....lol

 

[msgkings322]

Why didn't the Minnesota coach call a timeout?

 

[thunderc]

Not sure I’ve seen a team come back from over 20 twice in a game

 

[bksballer89]

Wolves getting 4-1 if they lose

 

[Stakesarehigh]

At what point was Finch going to pull his team aside and tell them to get off the crack
