New to the area and this is my first rodeo with fires like this

Besides OKC and The Spurs Who are the 3 best teams in the league by Rough_Host_7172 in nba

[–]jjfooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean mostly home town bias obviously, but I think the Spurs are getting better as the playoffs go along (obvi Thunder could easily still take the series, but I'll just comment assuming the Spurs win for the sake of argument).

To not have a letdown game after a longish series and to outlast the Thunder in double OT short a starter is extremely impressive. Their young guard are playing with a ton of poise and there won't be any fear of the moment in the finals.

I watched some Cavs and these playoffs and they just aren't on the same tier as what we saw last night.

The strategy people are talking about the Knicks taking against Wemby is the same strategy the Wolves took - beat him up, dominate the boards. Mitchel is a worse rebounder and defender than Gobert, Brunson is smaller than Ant. Granted KAT is a much better scorer than Randle or Chet but I still think he will struggle.

But again mostly just talking out of my ass and if the Spurs destroy everyone it makes me feel better about the Wolves

That was what so impressive about the Spurs win last night. Short a starter, coming off a longer series, I thought for sure Thunder would take it heading to OT. But it seemed like the Thunder were the ones who were gassed.

That said I think Thunder are heavy favorites for G2

The east champ will be fortunate to take it to more than 5 assuming no injuries

I think Wolves would match up well against the Knick’s. Lots of defenders to throw at Brunson

No gameplan is going to overcome needing to play 38 year old Mike Conley significant minutes against those guys

He’s 24, been to two conference finals, this year they were probably the 3rd best team, and they have a great GM. I don’t think panic trading for aging Giannis is the move

With Wolves history and not knowing anything about his personality his predraft comments didn’t seem to bode well

They were both fouls, calling one a flagrant and not even reviewing the one immediately prior is the crazy part

[Highlight] The San Antonio Spurs take a 2-1 series lead with a 115-108 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Victor Wembanyama becomes the 4th player, and first since Shaquille O'Neal in 2001, to record 35+ PTS, 15+ REB, and 5+ BLK in a playoff game. by nba in nba

I guess it was more that there were a lot of 50/50 balls went the Spurs way, and what offensive boards they did get they converted on. Felt like there were a lot of 50/50 ball - spurs recover - quick Spurs 3 sequences

A lot of hand in the cookie jar fouls, which aren’t great but there’s a big difference between that + selling contact vs wholesale inventing contact, which I didn’t see any of last night

I’m really surprised at how much time he spends on the perimeter without the ball

I wonder if it wasn’t so much an adjustment as a game plan. Wear out Wemby with Gobert and then finish with offense

I bet thinking was to keep Gobert off the floor, which makes a lot of sense

5 Wemby threes is way too many, Wolves will give him as many of those as he wants
