I think we would have lost anyway due to the greatness of Doncic and Irving, but the bench had multiple chances to help keep it closer by knocking down some open 3s. NAW and Reid especially just have to hit those wide open uncontested 3's. Disappointing performance from two guys that were considered two of the best bench players in the NBA.WildWolf2813 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 9:20 pm 5 points from the bench.
Leonard Miller better hit the ground running next year offensively.
Agree on #2 especially. Doncic and Irving have seen everything thrown at them in their career defensively. Doncic is arguably the 2nd best player in the world after Jokic and Irving is an elite shot maker. You just have to be able to out-offense a duo like that and we are just too damn clunky on that end.
I'd like to say the Wolves will win one before Ant makes it to 30. But the NBA has a lot of things that push franchises in flyover country down. It's only a matter of time before more stars migrate to LA or Miami, or OKC takes another 2 steps forward with all their assets. This was a special year, but it's one that's going to be hard to replicate.AbeVigodaLive wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 10:10 pm Well, that escalated quickly.
Dallas was simply the better team. Didn't think they were prior to this series... now we know.
[Note: Embarrassing showing by the Timberwolves. Hopefully, it's not another 20 years before we see them in the Conference Finals again. And hopefully, I get to see a MN sports title at some point...]
The Wilfs are clowns. They kept the idiot Spielman around forever who could never find an elite QB which is nearly mandatory to win a SB. Step 1, get elite QB. If not you need an elite defense and everywhere else to support the non elite QB.Coolbreeze44 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2024 10:37 pmI'd like to say the Wolves will win one before Ant makes it to 30.

I think you will see a title at some point. I have hopes for the Vikings which sounds insane, but they have by far the best ownership in town and a good coach.
