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

[fifth column]

That’s y you can’t put stock into playoff blowouts, each game is its own thing

 

[Loose]

This is where I feel championships are a nuanced discussion. SGA will be placed above Westbrook and KD if he wins the chip, but at the same time this thunder team would get waxed by that heat team the same way KD's Thunder team did.

Nah this team would beat that heat team they was thinking bench wise they'd lose. They didn't even have a starting center.

 

[BlackMajik]

Ant and Randle gave this game and series away. 21 pts combined and they only lost by two.

Naw the whole team not being able to secure rebounds and having a dumb Coach lost them this game to be honest

They could have still won with Ant and Randle playing the same way

 

[John Hull]

Safe to say the Randle experience is done. Either that or Antman demands a trade.

They didnt give it away theyre being beaten by a better team....Randle and Ant are inconsistent but some of that credit goes to OKC theyre showing bodies and making it difficult....

He’s not better than a prime KD either.

 

[MicIsGod]

now lets get ready for the KAT we all know

MAGA finals on the way

 

[AVXL]

Disappointed in my man Ant, if he plays to his average they win this. He pulls these disappearing acts at the most random times

 

[Snake316]

It's still nuts that with all the talent they've had over the last 15 years this could only be the second time the Thunder would have made the finals

Yeah it’s wild, Curry and The Warriors happened. In a different timeline where Steph isn’t born the NBA would look completely different.

KD, westbrook and harden, and the Durant/Westbrook duo, were going up against Dirk, Kobe, Tim, Prime Bron/Wade/Bosh, and MVP/Unanimous era Steph. Not to mention battling the GnG grizzlies and the Lob City Clippers

What this OKC team is going through, isn't even in the same stratosphere

 

[ALonelyDad]

How soon NBA discusses removing the fouling at late games?

 

[T-K-G]

I think SGA is more poised / experienced than Ant. And his shot selection is better.

Ant is just 23 though. On a timeline basis, that's 2001 Kobe, 2007 Lebron.

I think his upside is better once he gains the same amount of experience.

He's "just 23"

Both Kobe and Bron were already ahead of him if we talking basketball IQ so idk why you even brought their names up, he's not in their league, we just let social media propel him there because none of the other stars say or do anything entertaining


If he's "just 23" then all of the face of the league narratives need to stop until he actually achieves something beyond selling wolf tickets on the Internet

We can't give someone the benefit of the doubt like we do actual superstars and then when it's time to criticize him hide behind his age, that's weak as hell

If Ant could've came up behind an experienced vet-laden squad like it seemed that he would've once upon a time, I think he may have even gone up a half level by this point. Breh is playing with really no PG, a useless Gobert, a slightly useless Randle, and they're just now playing TSJ, who's apparently one of their 5 best offensive players lol.

I would've liked to see the timeline where they kept that pre-Gobert team together.

 

[torcher]

The Wolves 3 best players were Alexander-Walker, Divencenzo & McDaniels. That should tell you all you need to know

 

[WesCrook]

Jalen Williams give a short answer

Lisa Salters: "That's all you got?"

Jalen trolls and proceeds to give a generic filler response
