Butler limping. I'm proud of the teams effort and happy with the Butler trade but we don't win this series with an injured Curry and Butler. Green is playing great D but he's absolutely useless on offense at this point of his career. BUT WE OWNED THEM TONIGHT! And this is the shit thing about the NBA. If coaches didn't have to manage egos then the Wolves would be all about jamming it in the post like Gobert were Shaq. But don't want to piss off AE I guess.

Remember, Minnesota won only one more game this year than Golden State. And that is with Jimmy only there 1/2 a year.

I may have underestimated them a bit, they are likely 40%-45% to win the series (assuming Steph back game 3)

Yeah, that was before Jimmy fell on his ass and Steph pulled his hammy though. What's left when you have those elderly guys limping through this series? I'm a lifelong W's fan but if the twolves don't win in 6 then they should just trade every player on this roster and move the team to TIjuana.

With both teams at their best, I like The Dubs over the Wolves all day. They match up better against the Wolves than the Rockets. And even though Antman is better than Jimmy in the regular season, Playoff Jimmy just elevates his game that much more, and easily becomes a top 10 player when healthy.

Besides, this team was the 3rd best team in the NBA behind the Celts and OKC after Jimmy joined. With a full season with Jimmy, they'd be on pace for a 61-21 record.

Gobert sucks offensively.

He is very limited beyond catch and dunk.

You run offense through him you will get very little

typical front-runner … you just want the playoffs to be just a formality and give the trophy to your team already

:D:D
I like good basketball, not one team barely scoring 30 in the first half and both teams shooting under 40 percent for the game.

You are calling that good? That first half by the Twolves was an abomination to the game.

Hell throw in the 2nd half by the Wolves too. It was only decent by comparison to the 1st half. But at that point there was only one way to go but up.

The 60 FT in the Thunder game couldn't have been great TV either.
