I don't want to watch anymore of this, its downright depressing looking at the difference between them and us. Like at no point, are we even within the same stratosphere as a build goes to look that good. The league could give Miami an extra 20M in cap and we couldn't find a way to add pieces to catch them. So damn depressing how much salary this team has invested on turd contracts, and mediocre players who aren't elite at anything outside of Bam and 10 games out of the year where Jimmy's body feels good enough to give it 100%.
Pat Riley should feel sick inside if hes watching these playoffs and thinks were anywhere close to this level of play. You have to gut half this team, and replace them with elite role players just to get to this level.
Dude, just enjoy the game
I really tried, but I got upset at watching it and turned it off with how it made me feel, comparing the build make up vs what we have just made me almost sick to my stomach. I want to get rest tonight, don't need to linger and toss all night.
Brah, things change quickly in this league. Everyone was laughing at the Wolves after the Gobert trade. Nobody took them seriously before this season. Hell, I'm not sure if most people took them seriously before Saturday. You kinda have to luck into a superstar, which is what they've done.

On his podcast, Draymond basically gave Ant all the credit for turning Rudy and KAT into not-pussies lol.

He's went from having an inside source about how hard the team has been working to add talent....to a fairly optimistic person......to the most pessimistic poster on the board lately. Smh.

This is an eye opening game but there is still another half of basketball to be played.

I hope Spo is seeing you can still have a suffocating defense even with size.

And this is without Rudy
How good is Naz Reid? Would he be our first or second best player?

Yep this is now a must-win for the Wolves. Cannot blow this chance to have a stranglehold on the series.

He'd be amazing next to Bam.

Heat twitter pumpers love them some Jagsmith though. Must resign blah blah blah. Stop giving us these undersized G league try hards and making them into something that is just not realistic cause they flash some perimeter defense. I blame Austin Trille for this. Haywood showed him some attention now he’s his twitter agent and the rest follow

Small and limited collective skills is a bad combination
Guards have to be elite handlers and decision makers to justify being undersized in the front court and Mia isn’t justified.

I will say this though. Denver is so good they could lose both these games and just as likely go into Minnesota and win both games on the road. As good as Ant is we KNOW who Jokic is as well.
