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

No excuse for Minny not to get this to at least 6. The effort between game 3 and the first two is night and day

Have you not been watching the first 2 games? The refs actually let the wolves play defense tonight, that’s the difference. Nothing to do with effort.

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.

 

[Jazzy B.]

you just knew that the wolves would bounce back on their home court and come out big tonight in game 3

Role players play better at home.

People forget OKC lost two on the road to Denver.

They are NOT this juggernaut people have billed them be.

Some actually compared them to KD's 2017 warriors because of their regular season record

No team gives games away they just shut it down when they're down 40 pts. Makes sense you don't want guys to get injured. Series is not over by any means if Wolves win next game you're back to square 1.

They got they ass whooped the whole game. You don’t lose that bad on purpose lol. They were just ass last night. Seems that the NBA wins now simply depend on how good your three point shot is that night. Them boys weren’t hitting shyt while Minny was damn near hitting everything. Big difference from the first two games. I don’t see how people can pick winners or try to say who’s going to take over or whatever with all these lopsided ass playoff games. Fools can lose by 20 and win by 40 the next game. shyt is crazy to me.

How u lose by 40 in the conference finals

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

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.

That’s cool if you think that, but if you believe Minny is indeed this “much better” team than Denver is, you should also be of the opinion they not only beat OKC, but do it in six games (at the very least win 3 out of the next 4 games).

You willing to follow through with that statement?

Facts! They defense known for putting tight pressure on the ball and they couldn’t put a finger on them without a call . Made it seem like OKC was a tougher team with them being allowed to do what they wanted with no repercussions. Minnesota showed them what being pushed around really look like . Series getting tied no doubt.

okc will bounce back

Lazy analysis

Minny hit shots & executed better. OKC tried to go on a few runs but they stopped them. Y’all always tryna place everything on the refs

They lost by 42…not 10… not 20…not 30… 42 fukking points They are professionals. Nobody giving up a game like this. They got punked

Easy work

 

[Krs2]

In the beginning they probably didn't throwaway but let's be real after the end of 2nd quarter they definitely did. Why waste energy trying to comeback when you will still be in the lead after the game??

Minnesota, we have life

Call it what you want, I’m speaking on what I’m seeing. Why were they able to stop the runs in this game ? The wolves weren’t allowed to play this physical in the first two games. The first game I think Shai shot more free throws in the first quarter than the entire Wolves team. As soon as the refs let them get physical like they do OKC the game looked completely different.
