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

Y’all remember Ant gassed in last years WCF?

The Wolves beat the Lakers because the Lakers had no big, but more than that, had no D that could stay in front of Wolves on the perimeter.

Similarly, the Warriors tried to combat that by playing zone but the Wolves figured it out by game 3.

OKC is loaded - this is the worst matchup for the Wolves. Their shooting is always up and down but now you can’t run through the perimeter as you have Dort, Wallace, Caruso, JDub and even Wiggins to tire Ant down.

The only possible way I can see the Wolves winning is by keeping OKC to less than 100 points on 3 occasions and maybe taking 1 more on a typical Wolves outlier crazy 3 point night.

Wolves have scored 100 points in all 4 games vs the Thunder. Yes their defense stats are elite. But Wolves did not struggle to score against them.

wanted to say OKC in 6 but instead said 5 as they don’t win the big playoff games on the road

i wouldnt be surprised if its indy/minny i might be wrong but they lost in this same round last year and i dont think they wanna take another L here, you know hunger for more meanwhile knicks and thunder just broke through to the conference finals round but it might be next year for them to get the ship

Ant-man vs. Joker would have been great. You could have even had the AI create pictures of it.

These conference finals fitting to be great. I don’t know if the Shai and Any have a rivalry but I bet they will by the time this shyt is over….. Ja and Fox got to be wondering if they will be able to get here soon themselves.

"Shai slays Joker eyes to kill Antman next in the WCF"

"The Joker’s Fallen. The King and Chef Are Done. Ant-Man, Batman, Superman—But Can They Weather the Thunder?" or

"Ant-Man. Batman. Superman. But Can They Weather the Thunder?" ​

We were injured in all of those games. Wouldn't use regular season as any indication either way

Never got to see either team against each other healthy during the season so we'll see what the matchups look like

Thunder were missing Chet in the first game. Then they played 3 games all around the all star break (one right before & then a back to back not to long after) & Chet missed one of those since he was sitting 2nd games but the Wolves were without Randle & Gobert in all of those. Thunder were forcing minutes to the double big lineup once Chet got back though even when it wasn't working great just to get the minutes & data.


Also Naz Reid was killing the Thunder before he became a guy that was just actually good against everyone else so that's not fun as a Thunder fan
