I assume The Wolves will play faster at home
Ant is the most unfiltered/genuine person in the league. I don't think I've ever seen a player as BS-free as Ant. Dude is like Liar Liar in real life.Ant's so far and away the funniest player in the league. His expressions and reactions absolutely kill me.![]()

ThisGame was over in the first quarter. Luka got them up 15-20 and that was ball game. They were just nursing the lead the rest of the way.
They only played at their max in the 1st quarter. They became complacent after that.The Lakers played that game at their full max capacity, energy and effort level and still only scored 94 points against the wolves team where Ant played hurt/lethargic/out of it for a quarter, Naz and Dante were in constant foul trouble and just played terrible and the wolves also shot as bad as they have all year from three and had their 2nd worst offensive game of the year. And the Lakers still had to fight to put them away in the 4th. A Lakers A/B+ game beat a Wolves D game. Now the Lakers have the ultimate trump card which is Luka going nuclear so they could absolutely win, plus the Wolves have self destructive tendencies, but I think the Wolves are the better team.
I didnt say they played their best, I said max energy/effort. And your last point is what the series hinges on. That said at this point I believe if the Wolves are locked in and play their A game, its better than the Lakers A game. No idea if they have 3 more A games left in them thoughThey only played at their max in the 1st quarter. They became complacent after that.
Ain't no way in here did you watch those other three quarters and come away with the belief they were playing at their best, especially in the 4th quarter when they only scored 13 points.
Minny might have more talent or depth, but they don't have the experience and ability to realize that against a team that's led by Bron and Luka. Even if you want to argue they're better team (in theory), what's the likelihood that Ant and Julius will be able to execute when it matters for another three wins?
