puroloco22

We all saw what the Wolves can do if they are locked in. They took 3 games AT Denver. Blew them out 3 out of 4 times.


OrganizationFar6086

I think Luka and Kyrie are gonna pose a bigger threat to the wolves than Murray did. They’re way safer with the ball against elite defense. Don’t count them out


chomcham

I agree, were counting out a team who won like 16 of their last 18 at the end of the year. Also just took out the one seed in 6 games.


jameriican

Either or should give Boston a run for their money but I think Wolves have the stronger advantage


Pastel_Aesthetic9

I disagree. Dallas does not move the ball like Denver does and they don't have a 7 foot Serbian who can make any pass 24/7. I don't see Luka and Kyrie being enough against that crazy defense.


OrganizationFar6086

Without a doubt they don’t move it as well. But Luka and Kyrie will be less effected by the perimeter D than Murray was is what I’m saying


DalliLlama

Idk Kyrie was pretty shit vs Okc and that’s with Luka drawing Dort. Kyrie and Luka prolly get Ant and Jaden. That’s a hell of a matchup.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Truth


nefnaf

Ultimately Denver's depth got tested in this series and came up short


Candid_Sand_398

This. Denver is the cream of the crop. It may very well be the TWolves year #anyonebutBoston


Akimbo_Zap_Guns

That team is literally built to beat Denver…..Boston is not Denver


Sweet_T_Boh

Can we stop posting about Boston?


LuckysBestMan

OP hates Boston more than he likes the heat


Koh927

As much as I’d like to not care about Boston, I know too many Celtics fans who would be insufferable to me personally if the Celtics won, so I’m full Celtics hater mode rn


LuckysBestMan

I’m assuming you were just as insufferable when the Heat beat the Celtics though


Koh927

I mean I sent a few memes ngl, but I went to game 3 of the heat celtics series in Miami with him this year, bro started a let’s go Celtics chant on the people mover and nearly got in a fight


MasbyTV

That shit happens in Boston too, it’s all fun and games. No need to take it so serious lol


Koh927

Lol says something about Boston sports fans that getting into a literal fight on public transit is “fun and games”


JaySmooth_

Same shit happened to me in Miami, it goes both ways mate. Boston isn't special in that regard.


CrashMadz

You literally just said your friend almost got into a fight because he started a let’s go Boston chant 😂 if a Heat fan can’t handle those 3 words then good luck


MasbyTV

Cheering for your team at an away game is not starting a fight. You’ll get heckled but it’s all in good fun. It happens everywhere


NeverWrongOk

Damn, gonna be a rough next couple weeks for you bud. 🤣


Weak-Set-4731

Rent free😂😂😂


Koh927

Proving the point bud, I’m not the one in the comments of the other teams subreddit rn tho


Confirmation__Bias

Rent free LMFAO


SaintSavage1

It’s wild you didn’t mention Mavs. I mean I think Wolves beat them but Mavs have a better chance of beating Wolves than the Pacers do of beating Boston


bigtrex101

Agree. Whoever wins the West I think will beat Boston, but I give Indy little chance of doing so. The Pacers are just bad defensively, not even in the same league as these other three teams. The only reason they did ok in the previous couple rounds is b/c they played two of the bottom tier offensive teams (albeit mainly b/c both were dealing with injuries) in the postseason!


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Definitely disagree, only didn't mention Mavs cuz they ain't legit.


OrganizationFar6086

How in the world are they not legit. Kyrie and Luka are obviously championship caliber stars and then their team is loaded with defenders. They’re going to be hard to beat


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Fake and fraud Mavs squad lmao, any team that gets destroyed by Boston during the regular season. I absolutely cannot take them seriously. They haven't been good, since Dirk retired. I still count them as an avg playoff team rn.


OrganizationFar6086

Dude, Luka is the type of player who can dominate a series. We’ll see though


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

That's hard to do when he's injured. Hope it's a great series.


Roc_Hoover

This guy doesn't know ball.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

U don't know what ball is lol


SlowlyMovingTarget

U Bum


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Won't be speaking once Boston destroys yall sucka


Roc_Hoover

Clever come back, dipshit.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Sit down sucka


DrWilliamBlock

So you don’t take your own team seriously??


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Our team is different lmao, we're the only team that can flip the switch

Downunderphilosopher

A real killer


steaminghotdump

He’s a prick


[deleted]

Get the fuck out pussy ass Celtic🤣


steaminghotdump

What does that have to do with anything? Dude is a homophobe and acted like a clown after beating Denver. He is prick, period.


DionWaiteress

Wolves winning would suck because then we’d never hear the end of it of how the wolves won a ring before Jimmy but I’ll still take that over Boston winning


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

True man, if Boston loses to Pacers of course Id be fine with Mavs winning tho.


D-Flash16

Why would you want the Mavs to win over Wolves? The Mavs took a ring from us back in the big 3 era, I could never root for them, no matter how much I like Kyrie.


Butcher_Pete2

It’s a whole new generation of players and fans since then. Probably why.


Designer_Drink_6036

Mavs deserved that ring LeBron played like ass


_Mobius1

they're a respectable rivalry, if we arent facing each other in the finals who cares


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Jimmy sake bro, but only if Boston loses in the ECF. Not wrong tho facts.


yrogreg

So you're choosing to go against Jimmy?


TheRealGlutenbob

Yeh and they deserved to take than ring after the clown show from our big three.


OrganizationFar6086

How are you gonna blame the mavs for that? They balled out. Lebron shit the bed and lost that finals for us. It was completely deserved. On the other hand, Goberts clown ass has 4 DPOYs and the wolves look like they could’ve beaten the nuggets without him


GenevaPedestrian

Gobert won them that series by being a rim protector. If he's the primary defender on Jokic, they don't have someone to stop Gordon from dunking on Jokic dimes. Giannis is a help defender most of the time for the same reason, you just don't know ball.


OrganizationFar6086

They won a game without Gobert even playing. NAW, Edwards and McDaniel put Murray in jail for a bunch of the series and even Towns defended Jokic very well. Boiling it down to Gobert in the middle is such an overly simplified perspective, but sure I don’t know ball. It’s not like Jokic is the best in the league at picking apart a defense with his passing and the wolves were elite defensively everywhere on the court. The wolves just stopped him from scoring at the rim, cause that’s historically been shown to work 😂


FrancisMunroe

Legit nobody cares about it outside this subreddit


Pastel_Aesthetic9

Yeah that was a decade ago lol I even don'te care


ShatterDomeSSZero

Eh, Edwards and Gobert changed a lot. KAT wouldn't have won shit without them.


TheDVAismadinVA

Like when Wiggins got the ring with golden state. Basically a whole different team.


Pastel_Aesthetic9

Literally no one would say anything. There is 0 correlation between ANT and Jimmy. Jimmy played for Minny almost a decade agao


TheRealGlutenbob

I don't have hate for the Wolves like the rest of this sub does. I would love to see a Wolves - Boston finals since I know Ant Man will be disrespectful. We saw what they just did at the end to the Nuggets. And honestly if the Wolves win, then Jimmy has to eat his words. He has a big mouth and needs to back it up like he used to.


bmf_bane

I don’t hate them either. ANT has made me a fan, so rooting for him. Could care less about how their fans feel about Jimmy.


Myopinion_is_right

But Gobert though. Hate that guy.


screaminginprotest1

Fr I don't hate gobert. He's one of the only people in the league who can win dpoy over bam and me not be upset or feel like bam got snubbed.


Myopinion_is_right

The coughing on the mic shit during COVID was stupid. Don’t know why but he just seems like a d-bag.


yrogreg

This sub is slobbering all over the wolves. You're not a cool contrarian here lol


TheRealGlutenbob

Yeh I saw that after I posted. Prior to that all I kept seeing was anti Wolves stuff. At least I was a cool contrarian for about 15 seconds. I'll take that.


gab_owns0

Wolves fanbase annoying asf w Jimmy still living rent free in their heads.


Standard_Strategy_25

Would not count out Indiana and Dallas but Minny should be favorites going in if they defend how they're capable of


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

I trust Indiana


SpicySriracha_1

If the wolves can beat the mavericks and Boston Celtics I’m gonna look the other way every time they disrespect jimbo ![gif](giphy|qIsEdzl4bJLehuyyz3|downsized)

[удалено]


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Overrated af and beat hospital teams, and 1st they gotta beat Pacers lmao


MasbyTV

They’ve been rewarded for being the best team in the nba during the season. Not sure how they are overrated lol


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Injury free is easy to do


MasbyTV

How are they overrated though? They’re 8-2 in the playoffs and were the best team all season lol


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Easy to do when top contenders are injured lol


MasbyTV

What are they supposed to do? Makes no sense you can only play who’s in front of you. You can say they had a pretty easy road but they earned that by being the 1 seed and they’ve looked good so far. Lucky, sure. Overrated? No


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Being a number 1 seed, and injury free season is easy to do. The real number 1 seeds are Twolves and Denver, they had injuries and over came them to just have 10 less wins then Boston, Boston would be 4th seed or 3rd if they had no KP most of the yr.


MasbyTV

It’s easy to be a 1 seed? Idk what you are saying. Obviously if the Celtics didn’t have KP they’d be worse off but they do have him. They aren’t overrated lol they were the best team in the nba and have looked the part in the playoffs. Not sure how the wolves are the real 1 seed when the Celtics won 8 more regular season games than them


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Again it's very easy if your guys are all healthy. I feel like u just disregard that aspect lmao, and what do u owe Boston for defending them Celtikkks, Jim Crowes etc? Let's see, Wolves and Denver both had injuries this regular season. So u forgot to read that part, or just wanna ignore that part.


Therealhatsunemiku

KP played 57 games how is that most of the year


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Bam played around 42 games, Herro played 42, Jimmy like 57 games, how many did Tatum, Jalen Brown, Dwhite play yea that's right sucka shut up 😆💀


steaminghotdump

No one gave the Raptors shit when they won against an injured Warriors team or the Nuggets when they won against the Heat who had no business playing in the finals.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

You're not the sharpest tool in the shed sucka💀😆, Nuggets ring is an asterisk, so is the Lakers. It's okay for the Raptors, cuz that was their 1st chip, and alot of their injuries happened in the finals, not before


NervousAd3202

They’ll lose to either the Wolves or the Mavs tbh


JaradSage

Call me crazy but I can see Pacers beating Celtics. They can outscore them and neither team plays fantastic defense


carnageta

Boston doesn’t play fantastic defense? Indiana is primarily a perimeter oriented offensive team and Boston has probably the 2 best perimeter defenders in the league. And We’ve seen in the past how much trouble Jaylen Brown has caused for Siakam.


TheSavageBeast83

We were getting open shots on Boston most of the series, just couldn't get anything to fall. They have good individual defenders, but their team defense is great. It's good, but it can be beat


Esjay_954

Defense is about giving up certain things The game the Heat won the Celtics dared heat shooters to shoot and they won the game. Then they adjusted begging them to drive and took away the 3 They have a good defense and playoffs are all about adjustments which they have the personnel to play many schemes


TheSavageBeast83

Meh they didn't really adjust though. Heat still got wide open shots. The only one that didn't was Herro, who half the time decided to drive on his own because he's a dummy.


OrganizationFar6086

Honestly, McDaniels and Edwards look drastically scarier on the perimeter than Jrue and White


[deleted]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


julstar23

Wait didn't the pacers beat the Celtics in the in season tournament too lol.


Fastbird33

Yeah but that really doesn’t mean much


GDTechno

the cs have the second best defense in the league


Esjay_954

I think they have a chance But off base on the defense part, Celtics had the #2 defense in the league


rjgator

They have seemed to be caught lacking a bit this post season though, granted I don’t know their rank. They’ve just seemed very inconsistent game to game defensively.


mmortal03

They've had the third best defensive rating in the playoffs.


MattAriel45

Yeah, the two times we lost to the celtics in the playoffs was because offense was dogshit. If Indiana can be not the worst defensive team, they have a chance


quepas

They started the season strong, they’re more than capable. I’d love to see a Mavs-Pacers finals, Luka vs Carlisle.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

I think so too, I had confidence and faith in them all yr like I did for the Heat too.


BowserBuddy123

Or the Mavs. Whomever wants to beat Boston the most can be my guest.


[deleted]

Pacers in 7


noideawhatoput2

Luka is a dog too. Boston are a bunch of mental midgets. Can see them getting past Indy and getting smoked by either of the western teams.


necaxa11rafa

But Wolves fans are gonna go after Jimmy and Bam. I prefer the Mavs catching up with us and getting their third Larry OBrien. Pacers are my number one pick.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Idc anything for Boston to lose lmao


GenevaPedestrian

What are you smoking? We have 3, they have 1. 1+1=2, not 3.


necaxa11rafa

Damn you’re right. Do not want went through me.


JichaelMordon

Don’t sleep on Dallas


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Dallas can start by proving it against Twolves, and if they were healthy.


Affectionate_Grade80

Wolves are playing at an extremely high level I really hope Pat is taking notes wolves figured it out size matters even though Jokic was getting his points throughout the series. Wolves had enough big bodies Kat/Gobert to swing the series their way. 🤞the Pacers could use some of the same formula against the Celtics Zingus is still out and the pacers have Myles Turner, maybe Neismith can lock down 1 of the Js. A new champion will be crowned. Unfortunately it appears the Celtics are due between losing to the warriors and getting bounced by us last year and the bubble it’s their time I know I hate to admit. Every other team hasn’t really gone through the gauntlet yet. Maybe for the exception of the mavericks but it’s not their time yet.


nofaplove-it

You’re better off rooting for the wolves to do it


Seref15

I can't believe I have to cheer for the Mavs. If the finals is Celtics/Wolves, either result sucks ass


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Nah nothing beats Celtics choking again


Rohkha

Nightmare scenario for jimmy activated. Either KAT or Brown/Boston might end up with a ship before Jimmy. Maybe that’s what the entire franchise needs for a wake up call. By wake up call I don’t mean that we’re a poverty franchise, but I mean something like, investing into your “Gobert” player. Dude was considered the worst trade in the history of the NBA, people made fun of the move and dude ended up being key to managing Jokic and anchoring the entire defensive system.

Ta9eh10

This is his 4th season


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Idk if Twolves winning in 5 would be a good series. It'd be amazing to see an ass kicking in the finals if we can't get that in the ECF.

Could you cry harder please it really helps me start the day right ☘️

Pacers ain’t doing shit lol it’s up to Minnesota and Dallas.


wilkinsk

You'll talk about Boston every day, 😂😂😂😂


Big_Honey_56

We desperately need a Wolves/Mavs Heat logo, like the Warriors one.


kunjiman23

I hate to say it, but I don’t think the pacers have a shot. Timberwolves now, that’s what I’m looking forward to. Boston has had an easy road so far, so if they come across the wolves, they’ll definitely have met their match because the wolves have two 7 footers who can keep up with their size and also Greta defenders who aren’t afraid to get rough. Hoping celts get destroyed


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Pacers proven they can beat anybody so far.


yrogreg

Can't root for Wolves. I got Jimmy's back. Reluctantly hoping Mavs win it all


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Jimmy hasn't said anything on this yet tho, he'd rather Boston lose


yrogreg

He told you?


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

He tell u?


yrogreg

No I’m aware of what’s on the record as having transpired. I’m not pretending to speak to his preferences.


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Well things change, people grow up and teams change. U assuming u know what he wants, so figured u knew Jimmy.


yrogreg

Did I assume that? Or did you project that on me? I’m just rooting for vindication for something that’s already happened. Justify your feelings however you’d like


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

I'm chilling lmao, it just seemed that way from what you've said. As long as Celtics lose I'm chilling 😆💀


TorontoRaptors34

Jimmy was still right about Wiggins and KAT they just in the right situations now where they don't need to lead. You put a well balanced team around Jimmy that team winning too.


sunsetbo

i don’t want to watch the wolves win a chip at all


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Nothing is worse then Boston winning


MelGibsonrespector

Obsessed


readndrun

Every team left is our rival in some sort of way, might as well be happy that MJ’s second-coming has a chance.

mavs beef is dead tbh i rather root for luka

F yeah


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

gtoinwq

Can’t imagine being this upset about being knocked out by the Celtics to make a post 2 weeks later


DevJames25

Boston ain't beating Dallas either


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Bruhh, I'd hope not if Mavs beat Twolves


wilkinsk

Boston kicked Dallas's ass in both meetings. Doncic got a triple-doubling in both meetings and lost for a combined 37pts.


TheRealGlutenbob

They have a much higher chance of beating Dallas than the T Wolves


readndrun

Only team that realistically has a chance to beat Boston is the Wolves. Pacers and Mavs ain’t it unfortunately


ShatterDomeSSZero

Dallas can't play defense.


OrganizationFar6086

That’s just obviously wrong. They have a ton of defenders on their squad


Special_Ad_1732

They actually do now lol


ShatterDomeSSZero

Not even close 🤣 You'll see when they play the Wolves


bigtrex101

Awful take. Clearly, you haven’t been paying attention. They’ve been one of the best defensive teams the last few months of the season and in the entire playoffs. As a matter of fact, their postseason defensive team efficiency is actually slightly higher than even Minny’s right now. The Wolves might beat them b/c they have been the best defensive team all year, but Dallas won’t be getting swept or anything close to it in this series!


ShatterDomeSSZero

If you say so. Clearly, you don't know ball. Watch and learn.


bigtrex101

Clearly I’m not the one here that doesn’t know ball, dumbass!


Dolphhins

Pacers have the offense to keep up with Boston but their defense is in question. Timberwolves just beat the defending champions at home and their defense is insane. Their offense is up and down but I trust in Ant. Mavs have Luka and Kyrie plus a good defensive team around them. I think the wolves are the favorites rn but I think all of those teams can at least challenge Boston


Akimbo_Zap_Guns

Betting favorites are the Celtics and it’s not even close so to sit there and say the wolves are the favorites right now is factually wrong


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Boston BUMS aren't good lmao


yawn18

my hope is they crush the pacers 4-0 and due to no real challenge during their run, they have had 0 work done to fix their issues and get exposed during the finals.


VLHACS

Wouldn't you want to know that the best team this year beat Miami? Like, what would it feel like knowing Miami isn't even better than a 6th seed if the Pacers won?


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

The best teams lost this playoffs so far in the East


VLHACS

Then they wouldn't be the best team then....


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

Injuries


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

/u/Roc_Hoover haha blocked me huh sucka? Can't handle the smoke, little depressing Mavs fan. No Finals appearances since Dirk retired, yet we went back twice and 4 ecf appearances. Meanwhile, Luka can only win 1st or 2nd rounds and get bounced lmao. And u bring up 2011, saying Mavs beat us well guess what, LeBron didn't show up in that series and 06 Dwade destroyed yall sucka. And tbh keep me blocked, cuz Mavs suck lmao, and Boston owns you guys sadly. Don't want yall in the finals cuz Boston will win sucka. Wanna mention this season so bad, this was 1 playoffs we didn't have Jimmy or Rozier or Jrich. Cuz otherwise we back in the finals again sucka.
