GAME THREAD: Minnesota Timberwolves (1-1) @ Golden State Warriors (1-1) – (May 11, 2025)

1. We are seeing here how KAT helped open up Ant. Randle is playing high level basketball this playoff run but defenses are loading up on ant off the catch in a way he hasn’t seen before. The double is coming hard and early because defenses will live with anything Randle does outside of 15ish feet and Gobert is a nothing burger if he isn’t setting a screen.

   Ant was plagued by passing woes with KAT some of which he has since overcome yet he’s performing worse so far in this campaign because the threat of KAT catching+firing or making a wild 3 dribble move to the basket is more complimentary to Ants iso heavy package.

2. Absolutely no way around it, the extender just gave the dubs a VERY friendly whistle

3. Curry would have probably averaged 40 this series how the hell did lakers lose against this team? Were they really that bad?

4. Bob Myers looks like a 1950s tv show werewolf

5. I don’t know whats more fucked up, this game being 2 points at half or me still watching just cause its close.

6. Black Eyed Podz what is you doing bb

7. “Hop on my back” – Jimmy Buckets

8. If even one of Podz or Buddy was giving them something the Warriors would have a bit of a cushion right now

   Instead their starting backcourt is laying a donut

9. Both these teams didn’t make a bucket in the last 1:30 mins and the only points scored were 2 FTs. What’s going on lmaooo

10. Shout-out GR3

11. Someone needs to tell Ant the series started 2.5 games ago.

12. Naz Reid is the best player on the Wolves

13. Ant is quietly not living up to the moment

14. Can. We. Stop. Comparing. Ant. To. MJ. It’s not fair to either guy.

15. Who are these jackamos

16. These espn broadcasters have the combined charisma of a beet

17. Oh hi SAS, are you on a break from News Nation or whatever that is? You scumbag

18. Wing stop walked so royal kingdom could fly

19. Chris Finch in the locker room:

    “Okay guys, get out there and pretend like you’re playing the Nuggets in the 2nd half.”

20. Is this just tough basketball or basketball terrorism?

21. Soo we let GS go on 9-0 runs and come back from down double digits, meanwhile we fail to score in the final 6 minutes of the half.. And Finchy uses 2 TOs. Wild. I just don’t get it. The NBA hands you all these chances to stop the game while your team is completely fucking up in front of you and you don’t use them. Like if your guys can’t even break the 3 point line without getting swarmed/can’t get a decent shot off in 24 seconds and Kerr is running all these cuts that are picking your defense apart, maybe call the TO right the hell now instead of waiting for it to happen two more times. Like the TOs don’t roll over to the next half man, they’re just gone! I’m frustrated lol.

22. Someone please wake Ant up.

23. is heild even playing

24. can both these teams lose?

25. The bots that populate these threads with hot takes trying to farm responses is insane

26. At this point, just put us out of our misery.

27. I just hate how Buddy is sooooo on and off. Like can you just be fucking consistent????

28. Minnesota is so unserious. Literally had a 9 point and then a 10 point lead on Golden State, but continuously playing with your food has you down by 2 at halftime smh

29. Tate Mcrae could probably sub in for pods and be more effective. I guarantee when she shoot her shot she misses less

30. Dude what the hell are the Wolves doing. Trash ball.

31. Ant man never gets any criticism for playing bad cause hes got “aura”

32. The Timberwolves used all their energy on the lakers lmao smh

33. Anthony “James Harden” Edwards

34. Wow 42-40, pretty high-scoring first quarter.

35. Something feels off with Stephen A
