Mizutani: Who cares how bad the Timberwolves played? This series is over if Steph Curry is out.

Per Dane:

None of that matters if Curry isn’t able to return to the Western Conference Semifinals in short order.


This isn’t absolving the Timberwolves of their sins. Not in the slightest. They deserve some sort of reckoning for the embarrassing effort they put forth on their home court.

As bad as the Timberwolves played, however, the reality is they only lost by 11 points when everything was said and done.

It should’ve been a blowout with how poorly the Timberwolves executed for the better part of 48 minutes. It wasn’t because the Warriors aren’t capable of that type of dominance without Curry leading the charge.

That’s not taking anything away from Butler, who finished a couple of assists shy of a triple double, Draymond Green, who was everything his teammates need him to be and more, or Buddy Hield, who led all scorers with 24 points.

That’s simply stating a fact about the Warriors. The car has always been specifically designed for Curry. It doesn’t work with somebody else in the driver’s seat.


Howl Wolves!!

I prefer the article say the timberwolves are going to lose 4-0. Maybe then they’d take it seriously. This team has blown so many games when they’re favored and especially when people start piling on with how great they are. Handling expectations has not been their forte for multiple years now
