Ant gonna be in OKC for a few days.  Let's hope he doesn't impregnate that many people there.

Minny is not a good offensive team.  This series won't last long.

we know. OKC can hand check, press up and reach in without a foul. OKC gets space  when handling the ball because you fall over on your own or with marginal contact so defenses are honest. Its a different ball game on how OKC is allowed to defend.

Minny doesn't have that many guys who can actually score.  They're also a turnover factory.

OKC in five, if that.

Ant is in OKC for a few days now.  Here's hoping he doesn't impregnate anyone while he's there....

Calling the series after 1-0 is always rich.

This feels like an "every game is relatively close into the 4th, but it's a sweep (or maybe 5)" series. After playing two garbage teams in the slow, defenseless Lakers and Steph-less Warriors, Minny was bond to run into a team that would make them pay for having two offensive non-entities (Conley and Gobert) in the starting lineup. Even if Edward and Randle outplay SGA and Williams (and I think they will more often than not), I just don't think Naz, NAW, and Donte are going to give them enough.

But also, the playoffs are ridiculous. Last year it was dudes trying to gaslight us into believing that Luka is an above average defender. Then, two days ago, it was Jokic is every bit the flopper that SGA is. That first half was embarrassing.

Listening to the Minny players in the postgame, they are making a hell of a lot fewer excuses than [mention=37]MNLonghornFUKM[/mention] is. They know they got whipped in the 2nd half. 

Yea you really think they wanna give OKC fuel for game 2 by sulking and ref blaming?

They know OKC plays like bitches, so does the entire nba fan base. This same script happened in game 1 of the regular season. MN controlled the first 28 min…OKC makes a few shots, frustrates MN, phantom calls happen and MN loses focus taking quick 3s, OKC then avalanches them.

Literally the same script

Minny has been high-variance all season - even in the playoffs - but they can't just grind out games against this OKC team and wear them out. They have to play just as smart and edge them in shotmaking and they weren't great at either of those tonight. The game got away from them and OKC has a tendency to snowball. 

What I'm curious about is Ant. He barely pressed at all in the 2nd half and I'm not sure how much of that is what OKC was doing on D and how much is just him realizing they didn't have it tonight (I think it's a little column A/column B).

I don't think the Minny role guys are going to be that bad all series - but they have to win 4 of 6 now and those 4 wins are going to require something like 3.5 very good to great games played. 

That said - I'll buy OKC when I buy OKC. I'm close after tonight but they beat Denver by 50 in G2 last series then dropped 2 more games to them. 

If the Wolves can steal G2 or even take G3 down 2-0 I'd fasten your fucking seatbelts. These guys are a bunch of dogs and they're getting more seasoned.

Dude take a deep breath and let's see what happens Thursday 😂

Man y'all have some fucking demons in Minny.

Remember round 1 when the teams were allowed to play hard defense, and everyone loved it?  This game was the opposite of that. I know it's not his fault that it is called like this, but it's shitty to watch. These are very minor contact calls, and ruin the pacing of the game to take a break for FTs. I have seen Brunson getting this type of treatment too, and don't expect it to stop. If we get a Knicks/Thunder Finals, it's going to be a an all out war to get to the line.

Damn. Simmons calling that out is something. 

Agree that it's terrible. The one where he did a full face-first dive on the floor that got reversed on challenge was ridiculous as well. 

Just a really unlikeable team with an unlikeable superstar. Unfortunately they're probably going to win the title. 

And then he starts hitting all these jumpers in the 2H finally and it's like well yeah - everyone is afraid to fucking touch the guy. 

I'm not going to act like the refs handed OKC the game because I think they did their best to keep it fairly even but it's pretty nauseating at times watching that guy play. 

Ant needs to put the cape on.

I'm not sure I've ever seen America so united against a title favorite. 

Like we've had villains in the past but those villains had fanbases and bandwagon followers.

It's just OKC fans and media dweebs hoping their prediction comes right cheering for these guys. 

I mean were the Spurs ever this hated? I know we had very little national interest/fans but I think there was as much respect as hate. Duncan never played like a bitch like this.

It was ridiculous because OKC was on like an 8-0 run being down 4 to being up 4. SGa falls down and a foul is called. They gave OKC possession because he had the ball. Well he fucking traveled with the ball by sliding after he fell down on his own. Thunder score and it’s a 6 pt lead/ 10-0 run now
