    Of course, but I'm not sure the T-Wolves can blow them up enough for that to happen. After all, they are only up 14 points in the 3rd quarter right now.

    If games 2 and 3 end up being 25-point blowouts, I think the Warriors will try to bull rush them the first half of game 4 and see what happens. If the T-Wolves are up to the task, I think Kerr will basically surrender.

    EDIT: Now only a 7-point lead at home after losing game 1? It should be 82-55 instead of 62-55. The T-Wolves are a pathetic, choking joke.

    Warriors will never quit this series while games are in doubt.

    The Warriors are going to win this series.

    No way they should be a run away from being back into this game.

    If Warriors want to win this game, they need to involve Kuminga every other possession.

    It's more of an observation about our team's design flaw: guards that can create off the dribble.

    Just like those consecutive daggers, I hate those 5-7 minute Offensive droughts......it is what it is.

    Trendy 24 second violations.

    Give them OKC's bench.....they are up by now.

    Stan Van Gundy is insufferable. Such a Warrior homer. You would never know they've been behind the whole game.

    I guess I kinda get Red Nation’s fascination with Naz Reid but why can’t Jabari be our Naz Reid?

    Wanna go spend $30M on Naz…what if we have dollar store Naz?

    Just checked the boxscore.

    Quinten Post 3 minutes -13. GS lost 1Q by 14 points. LOL @ Kerr starting Post.

    And Draymond apparently used up his 3pt makes last game.

    Based on how Naz Reid has lit it up from 3 in these playoffs, I'm with you. No chance of him coming to the Rockets. Whoever signs him will overpay.

    One big thing in favor of Naz is he would be a much better backup C than Jabari, IMO.

    The Minnesota guards (Edwards included) are simply overpowering GS. They can muscle their way to the rim whenever they want. GS cannot play the pressing D they played against Houston because Minnesota can push through that first wave of D. Where Houston turned the ball over with contact, Minnesota eases on the rim, and they can finish.

    Granted, GS's heart isn't in game 2 at all (outside of a little run here and there).

    I don’t think he’ll be worth justifying a big contract when we have Bari, but Naz is a great dribbler and creator on penetration for his size.

    Something Jabari is pretty weak at.

    Sucks that his sorry ass moved on, but now it's the T-Wolves problem to deal with his bullshit.

    Now Draymond is playing the victim card. What a total loser.

    Like the Rockets, the T-Wolves benefit when he loses his mind because his teammates and coach are sick and tired of it because they have one more thing to worry about.

    In other words, Draymond has diluted his act to the point it demotivates his team and no longer intimidates opponents.

    I still don't like what I see from the Twolves, The warriors can get hot for a game or two and Curry could be back game 6 or 7, if that happens and he's even half of himself...which is still better than most of the league, the Wolves are in trouble.

    It was a 6 or 7 game war of attrition type of series by default.

    Barring Antman going postal.

    Dammit, this win is what the Rockets should have done in Game 2, when Butler was out.

    What could've been...
