Anyone can score in today’s league, it’s not that great an achievement. So ant should shut his mouth and stop talking big unless he can say he won’t crumble under pressure when it matters. No rings and no awards to his name yet as well.
Who else knew number 9 on Wolves was SGA cousin?
this is the first video where that audio is in sync
Minny staff did not target SGA in spite knowing Ant was targetted. Minny staff did not use D.
Sga allowed to play while Ant not, choosing a shootout competition instead of a D competition favors Okc everytime.
Surprised the game was even close. Almost a 0% chance for any team to beat Okc in a shootout. Minny staff is excellent but this game was as bad as staff can possibly be. 100% loss thanks to staff.
As for SGA vs Ant. Just flip the script. Put Ant on Okc and SGA on Minny. Or. Put both on bottom-mid level teams. Neither will ever take a team to the Playoffs.
Game 3 was fool's gold that we might actually have a series here.
At least this game was close and the Timberwolves fought hard. But they are just outmatched by the Thunder.
Antman personal life will always affect his game",Mvp has a family focuses on Family,while Antman is the life of the Party",OKC straight to the finals 😊
Let’s go Okc ❤❤❤
i am really so curious this year which of the youngsters will win, the title, pacers or thunder..i think think thunder is one step ahead
Can’t take this league seriously anymore how do you lose by 41 then win next game?
SGA spilled the ball in last minute would have been nightmare for OKC, Wolves's star players were too bad last night due to OKC's defense
All the western conference was infected with bad teams…why TF are you so sure OKC beats East?!🧐😊
This wasn't just Ant-Man alone. The T-wolves made bad adjustments while OKC adjusted intelligently.
OKC put Dort on Ant-Man the entire game, with either Chet or Hartenstein as backup behind. This defense further tightened in Q2 to not give any driving lanes. That's why Ant-Man couldn't score.
But OKF gave up the outside, allowing NAW and Reid to land good 3-point shots. Basically they dared the T-wolves to beat them outside, but it's a sacrifice they made to limit Ant the whole game which paid off.
The first of the T-wolves bad adjustments was in Q2. In Q1, the T-wolves guarded SGA well with McDaniels man-to-man on SGA and Gobert as backup behind, but in Q2, McDaniels was subbed for DiVincenzo which wasn't good defensively, allowing SGA to get into form. Why would you allow the Ace Scorer of the opposing team any chance to get hot?
The next bad adjustment was in the later part of Q2 when they didn't give Shannon Jr more minutes. Shannon Jr is taller, bigger than DiVincenzo, plus just as athletic and more aggrssive. He would've been a better defensive match-up to SGA or J-dub, and his offense was the only one really giving OKC problems despite tighter defense inside. I don't know why he wasn't given more minutes on-court, especially since he is clearly hungry to go at OKC.
There was a point in the game where SGA was benched. If Shannon Jr was still on the court attacking the basket, with Alexander-Walker and Reid landing their 3-point shots, OKC would have been forced to respond and Ant-man might have got the opportunity to get into rhythm.
The last blunder by the T-wolves was putting Randle into the game. The guy was clearly not in form, so why continue letting him play?
This loss was a team loss, not just due to Ant-man.
defense beats offense
This is the end …
Gentle sweep 😢
OKC great defense? 126-128,ummm…I don`t understand.
This playoff is over.
Clippers gave SGA away for what?!
Game 3, Anthony Edwards p. 30
Game 4, Anthony Edwards p. 15
This IS NOT way to win the serier against Oklahoma and her leader Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who yesterday has realized 40 points + 9 rebounds + 10 assists. And now is 3-1 Thunder
Cool SGA2 ! Vau 40pts.👍🏽🙋🏽🙏🏽👏🏽🤗🤩💪🏽🎉🏀🥇🏆.
why put the final score right below the highlights I am looking forward to watching – moronic 🤢
The background music is really good 👍
Edwards😂😂😂😂Talk talk talk 0%😅
I sometimes wonder what makes Gobert take lay up… You are taller than most people why are you cheating the game with little effort? Is it why his team me rarely trusts him to own the other team offensively?
Okc Nba Champions
The fact that Wolves put all their energy into game 3 shows that they were never really up to the task. It was the same last year against the Mavericks.
That beat dope
Can't watch the NBA anymore. 179 shots in this game. 78 three pointers. 44% of the shots from beyond the arc. No thanks.
Randle and Anthony party is over. Wolves won to Lakers and GSW, but they were not supposed to be in the finals of westerns conference.
