Supposedly this is the schedule for the Semis. Off until Saturday would be a nice little break.

Both teams could use the rest. Edwards rolled his ankle more than once in the last game, Anderson isn't 100%, and obviously we don't know what they're going to do about their coach's injury.
And we've got 3 guards that need a rest.

I like the extra day off before game 7. I think it goes 7 and we will need the extra off day to heal up.

I am very confident that Jamal and KCP will eventually start to hit shots consistently, as they both have throughout their respective playoff careers. Braun, Holiday, and Reggie may or may not but I believe in Jamal and KCP to the very core of my being.

Murray is one-legged, and WANTS the ball. Psychologically, our biggest enemy is ourselves - and Murray never doubts who he is or what he’s made of.
Just love the man. Inspiring. My favorite nugget ever.

Grant is an alltime loser for not realizing how lucky he was. AG legit worships Jokic

Porter is legit cooking right now too.
If Murray heats up now it's end 2 then it's game over.
We shouldn't fear the Timberwolves. They should fear us.

It's such an endlessly wonderful feeling sending the Lakers packing. Never gets old.
I'll give that team some credit though. This was a tough series for us. Aside from the help they get from the whistle, let's not forget how good Bron/AD can be. There's no other combo that's anything like it in the league. Bron's a beast of a PG in an old school PF's body and AD's the perfect 7 footer to play off of him. It's not easy to stop. I said it before the series, but tip of the cap to James for still playing like this at his age. 39 year old James>>>39 year old Jordan.
Having said all of that, there's a real possibility we just saw bron play his last playoff game. They got some lucky breaks to get in this year. Kings and Pels both completely fell apart down the stretch and james/ad had really good seasons that might be hard to replicate.

Gordon and MPJ each played 46 minutes tonight. Combined for 33/17/7 too. Oh and MPJ was a +12 in those 46 minutes...while we won by 2. These are my Co-MVP's of the series. AG kept the Lakers honest by punishing their "free safety" style defense and MPJ was johnny on the spot all series.

Grant signing with Detroit and nuggets losing game 82 to Minnesota were two events that were painful at the time but ended up being integral to us winning a title.

And I would say, Minnesota should fear Denver, defending Champions and a team that has MVP of the league in it, and not the other way around.
Go win in 5 (reasonable), 6 maximum.

Hopefully Wolves overrate Gobert defense and thinks he can deal with Jokic without too much help

Supposedly this is the schedule for the Semis. Off until Saturday would be a nice little break. All the people talking about resting starters and stuff. Like I get if a guy like Murray who was injured, but they have a 4 day break till they play and another 3 day break in that schedule. If we don't make the Finals or win it it's not cause we weren't rested enough.

Having said that. We have had success in playoffs because Jokic gives a consistent stat line and Murray typically goes off in series. The Timberwolves going to put McDaniels on Murray that's going to be tough. Then they're also going to put 2 of KAT, Gobert, and Naz on the court which neutralizes our normal size advantage on both teams. Lastly, ANT is a unique mismatch for us. He's probably a Lil to quick for AG and ti strong for KCP. It's going to be a bloodbath of a series.
