Ant-agonizing the MVP! | Official Timberwolves (#6) vs. Thunder (#1) West Finals Thread

[Remote]

Missed the game.

First thought at the box score is: Wow. Looks like quite the statement from Minnesota.

It doesn’t change my opinion that OKC will win the series, but I imagine it is a heck of a confidence boost for the Timberwolves to win so decisively.

I’m curious if Minnesota did something different to counter the Thunder’s game or if it was merely an off night for OKC. If it was the former, there could be real optimism for the Wolves.

They think the fact he died and trolling his fans is funny

Somehow Game 6 of the 08 Finals is a counter to you bringing up Nash, who didnt make the Finals is neither of his MVP years.

Mn was having comical bad shooting and they are actual one of the better 3 pt teams in the league.

Law of averages would dictate they wouldnt continue to be so bad but they still have to tie it up

The positive thing for OKC is, they had all their bad moments in this one game, unlike last series where they found themselves down 1-2 because they had bad moments at critical stages over the first three games. They've managed to condense the worse version of themselves to just this one game.

If they can recalibrate themselves for Game 4, they should head back to OKC up 3-1.

Wolves a much better and deeper team than Denver though. Denver gettin those grind out close clutch wins was the only way a team like Denver could've won games against a defense like OKC. They ain't have the depth or was as strong a team overall as Minnesota to be capable to put a beatin like this on OKC. Thing wit Wolves they capable of winnin those clutch even comeback down to wire games like Denver but they have the depth and talent to win dominantly and Denver didn't.

So because he's dead we have to deny the truth? He had a horrible game 7.

I feel like OKC gave this game away; I don't really believe the T-Wolves beat them, in the sense of figuring them out and now they're in “trouble”; it was more like the Thunder chose to give them a W; maybe they want to close this series out at home to celebrate. They'll be better next game.

They just came out too flat, especially in those opening minutes, they took the night off imo.
