I'm more concerned with team turnovers than individual turnovers. GS got away with a lot of contact last night, but the Wolves have turned it over 20+ times, 3 games in a row. They're also giving up too many second chance opportunities.


Second chance points was 27-2 for GS last night. Without that advantage the game would have been over much sooner. The subs could have played the whole 4th quarter..

They even rebounded their own missed free throws multiple times.

With Gordon out for a couple of weeks, I'd rather face Denver.

They have had competitive games against OKC. They should be healthy and rested. Bring it on.

Both teams were titans on defense and and a young guard that keyed the team offensively. Both teams breezed through the first round, and were tested in the second. Last year, MN didn't have enough guys who could create offense and ran out of steam in the WCF. Will OKC suffer the same fate?

This is a nice final four for me. Only team I dislike is the Knicks.

Maybe this could be the start of a Wolves/Twins/Vikings championship trifecta.

Playoff Experience, defense, and a 2nd true dominant scorer plus they had injuries.

I certainly saw them as a threat. I really liked that club. They weren’t entirely healthy for the Indy series, but I’m not going to use that as an entire excuse. Indy is playing well. I think that crazy game 2 finish just took the wind out of Cleveland’s sails.

When you drive to the hoop as much as he does, it’s inevitable.

You need to focus on being a normal person with normal thoughts.

Follow your own advice. Needs to learn to be more stable on his feet? Do you really think he could do the things he does if he wasn't extremely stable on his feet? He hurt his ankle 3 times. LeBron landed on it diving for loose ball. The GS center landed on it after knocking Ant down. Last night rolled it colliding with a player who fouled him. None of that has anything with foot stability.

His Atlanta Braves hat....HE'S FROM ATLANTA.

The Wolves need to find a way to elevate their game to a higher level than the LA and GS series or this will be a short WCF.

Braves hat? Can’t tell if you’re trolling or not. If you are, well done. If you aren’t, really? Who cares what baseball hat a basketball player wears?

Are there just no rules about stepping into the paint early on free throws? Gobert missed one, and the overhead camera showed a Warrior stepping into the paint waaaaaay early. Golden State gets the rebound. No penalty called. What the hell is this?

Are there any concrete rules on FTs?

Ant steps over the line before ball touches rim on every FT attempt and it isn't called. But if you tried to miss purposely and go into the lane early they call it.
