    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Part of that ant is younger than Okcs primary ball handlers. He will get better They hoped tsj would get there and he’s shown some more promise in the playoffs. NAW is more and more serviceable all the time. But yes they need one more more ball handling guard to take mikes role and initiate...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Yeah as I said, we’ll see. They’ve historically cared and it’s part of why they’re in this spot is keeping their roster young and accumulating picks but they’ve shied away from the heavy spending. I think this is the team you do it for as you have everything to be really good for 5-8 years with...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Against okc? I don’t think they do as that team is better than we are as I said before the series (and why I chuckled at anyone who hinted they’d rather play okc than Denver). Your hope is their role guys don’t hit their shots. They hit a bunch of tough 2s and their 3s tonight. The simple ones...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Dort Chet sga and Williams are all up for extension this offseason. Some still under contract but we’ll see real fast what they’ll do. Think they’d be idiotic to let it go, but they also let harden Durant and Westbrook all walk before their prime

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Moral is we got murdered on the glass and turned it over constantly and these were long boardsand some fluky stuff at times but you can’t give a team like this 15 more shot attempts. Especially when we have the size advantage between the teams. Kudos to NAW who hung in there and absolutely...

    Getting hammered on the glass and turning it over not a recipe for success

    A 19 year old 6th rounder is going to be equivalent to an older guy. There’s not much of anything here

    Can’t say this tips the scales in any way, but wouldn’t surprise me if Montreal steered him there

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    You have a great ball handler and team facilitator. Denver has jokic (Murray plays pg when jokic rests as a scoring guard, similar to what Ant does). LA had LeBron prior to Luka. Boston uses Tatum and a pair of shooting guards in Brown and White. Giannis wasn’t a pg when they were winning a...

    Urban Meyer's bold claim is correct, Big Ten has passed SEC as top-dog conference in college football

    Citing Vegas over under win totals might be the most confusing way to say the big ten is better I’ve ever seen

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    a slasher drives the ball for layups and dunks, generally speaking off the catch or cutting to the hoop without the ball but their best spots of finishing are at the rim They can occasionally have a bit of a handle, which yes NAW and Jaden both do. NAWs typical shot charts are 3s and at the...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    you're describing 2 very different players. They don't need more iso ball players. Jaden is a slasher. NAW is a slasher. DDV, Naz are spot up shooters with Mike being probably the most adept at both spot up shooting and drive and kick. we run a pick and roll heavy offense. So does OKC. They just...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    go look at advanced shooting metrics, which account for type of shot, defense, etc.. getting to shoot wide open layups and shots against backups is very different True shooting Dilly 50.3% Ant 59.5% Conley 57.3% Dilly's points added by shooting is like a -30% based on the shot quality he gets...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    this is the underappreciated aspect that doesn't show in the box (well it did last night with Donte turning it over repeatedly). When you're so much slower to initiate, it's much harder to get to your spots. It is also why I'd like if we'd pick up a little more aggressively full court (even if...
