Sounds more like the Trump of the NBA.

I love good conversation about politics, but am certain a sports forum is not the location to try. Of course if you want me to carry on about the "Orange Turd" I will happily do it.

The team that started the playoffs 6-0 is now on a milk carton.

My test worked to perfection. It's supposed to be avoided but in reality, ok to mention politics or jabs if it fits the majority of the posters.
I already knew the answer from observations of posters here but I decided to test my theory.
My theory was accurate and exactly as I suspected it would be, unfortunate but thanks for being players - back to sports.

Personally, my response had nothing to do with how others would see it politically, rather I did intend a jab simply because you initiated what I and many consider a breech of protocol. Bad behavior is seldom appreciated.

We've admonished Matt to take it to the politics thread many times and he posts the "majority" view. Your theory remains unproven.

1. Ant struck a great balance between getting his and getting teammates involved.

2. Jaden McDaniels made his presence known at both ends of the floor.

3. Good job of timing the doubles on Jokic. They forced a few extra misses and covered his passes out the double very well. KAT staying out of foul trouble enabled them to keep rotating fresh bigs.

4. Hooray, the bench finally showed up. At the same time Denver's bench regressed to the mean. I was really getting sick of pukes like Christian Braun looking like 6th man of the year.

5. The return of Conley was a big help.

6. KAT was solid all around and had an uncharacteristic lack of stupid fouls.

7. The ball kept moving on offense.

8. The Wolves committed to dominating the boards.

9. Denver helped with some uncharacteristic misses on open looks in the first half.

So the Wolves go from hanging onto the ledge by one fingernail to forcing game 7. IMO, the difference between games 1,2,6 and 3-5 is the Wolves. They are a total Jekyll and Hyde team right now. WHEN THEY ARE ON THEIR GAMES, KAT, Rudy, McDaniels and Conley are better than Gordon, Porter, Murray and Caldwell Pope. The problem is that Denver's guys are more consistently on.

Amen, I've never seen one where every between game adjustment is just a complete game changer. Is anyone doing half-time adjustments at all. Seems like you know by the first quarter who's winning the game. Would love a tightly contested close game finish for game 7.....actually never mind Wolves just blow them out, that works too.

Total frontrunner. Top of the world when things are going well. But when they aren't, we get a guy that berates officials, throws stuff on the court during play, skips out on mandatory pressers - and when he does show up, he shits on the other team.

Compare that to Ant, who always makes himself available, never deflects blame - and even takes the blame away from more deserving teammates.

One guy is a true leader, the other doesn;t know the definition of the word.

is Ant. Still evolving and he will have tough shooting games now and then, but he is the present and the future of this team. What a pleasure to watch him in a Wolves uniform!

That was Town's best game of the Playoffs. He was clearly laboring to run up and down the court and had no lift on his jumper. But even on 1 leg, he rebounded the ball like a demon and played the best defense on Jokic I've seen.

It was a hypothesis not a theory. Learn the difference.

He was fantastic, and so involved everywhere I’d have sworn he had 20+ points rather than only 10.

We need Jaden to stay strong and cancel out Gordon to win G7.

I want to see more of Towns on Jokic! I have no doubt Jokic is looking to come out playing in full savage mode. IMO he is without question the best player in the NBA. We need to give ANT a little more time.
