You nikkas need to CHILL. It is way too early and this Wolves team still got the same knuckleheads that done blown leads in every single conceivable and inconceivable fashion over the last 3 years.
Well remember last year Jayden McDaniels and naz reid were both out for that Denver series. Jayden punched the wall.

Discussions about Booker will be had if they go down early in this series :sas2:
What's there to discuss? Everyone already knows he's not that guy. That's why he keeps trying to pass the #1 role to anybody. From CP3 to KD.

Rudy Gobert needs some credit for how he played out of the pick n roll. He and Mike Conley essentially closed the game out running PnR and he was making the right pass out of the short roll a couple times. He's usually awful to watch play offense but he can make some passes that make you wonder how it goes so poorly most of the other times.

And he's making his free throws. If he's making those and able to switch onto the perimeter and hold his own, you aren't going to be able to play him off the court this year :ehh:

This just proves that without a super team KD and Steph can not win, they rode of each other and was necessary to win. Atleast KD made the playoffs when steph did not but thats a low bar, if they get swept with this super team tough convos on KD need to be seriously had basketball wise.

I thought you was just super biased cause you a Bron fanatic but you just really dont know shyt :ohhh:

KD looks like a shell of himself as if his best postseason days are past him.

I think at 35 years old he's at a similar position as LeBron is at age 39..they both are still capable of having great postseason performances but the opposing competition is too much for them to overcome no matter how great they play it's just simply not good enough.

Basically, they can't takeover the game and singlehandedly dominate against stiff competition like they were once able to do in their younger days.

A few times last night I paid attention to KD's facial expressions and noticed him constantly “looking up in the sky” as if he didn't know what to do or coming to terms that they ain't got no chance to win.

Unlike with those Jazz teams....he has solid to above average wing defenders here, so it's boosting his defense

This not a superteam. Beal is trash. I havent seen that nikka do shyt. Booker a beast but not this series and KD best years are behind him.
This post proves no one should take you serious on basketball because you don’t know what you are talking about.
the man is a legit mongoloid

The 2022 warriors were clearly not a superteam. dude is just yappin'

Rudy doesn't have to cover absolutely everyone defensively anymore like with the Jazz and he can switch onto the perimeter and they don't get abused in the paint cause they have defenders to rotate.

I was completely wrong about that trade, it transformed the Wolves
