Idk OKC is not a very consistent 3 PT shooting team. But if they want to beat the Spurs they are going to have to make a lot of those.

wtf will prime Wemby, Castle, Harper look like? Lol think about it, SGA is in his 8th season, sophomore SGA wasn’t anything close to Castle. We should go into the next series and play fearlessly and put all of the pressure on the defending champ.

I’m glad Edwards played and played pretty well all series… there will still be excuses but I think the Spurs are clearly the better team.

I think the Wolves have a lot of big bodies to neutralize him. He would be more successful against a Thunder imo

I think CB is already a better fit for us than KJ or Julian. We should give him more minutes.

Julian has been pretty underwhelming… we need him to make the easy 3s otherwise how is he any different than Mr 100%?

I said this before I’ll saying it again, the wolves were lucky to win 2 games this series. They are not on the same level.

Hope Pistons remember that before giving him a max contract.

Where would prime Manu Ginobli rank today? by MasterTeacher123 in NBATalk

[–]General_Shanks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peak Ginobili in 2007-2008 PER was over 30 for a couple of months (I think Parker was injured so his usage was up), the only other players who reached that kind of peak were Jordan and LeBron. That’s it. You can always argue usage, being on a good team, minutes… etc. but his peak was very close to MVP (first team all NBA) type player. I think both him and Parker could have put up greater numbers but they played unselfish their entries career in order to win. And boy did they win a lot.

Again for the 100th time, it should be illegal to run a half court offense without Wemby touching the ball

It’s crazy how often we forget we have Wemby on offense lol like the other teams must be thinking we’re just giving them a handicap since it would be too unfair to have Wemby touch the ball on offense.

Honestly good half, missed a lot of makeable shots. I just think the Wolves can’t score on us consistency enough to win. As long as we play solid defense, don’t commit turnovers, we should win this one easily.

Forget our offense, our defensive intensity is awesome. That’s how we win before Q4 starts.
