Minnesota Timberwolves get the Denver Nuggets!

[@noahwelch2931]

Booker will probably always average more ppg than Ant, but Ant is a better playoff performer, play maker, defender, and leader. Ant > Booker in my book (pun intended)

[@skoolynugenator1802]

Ant has that it factor. Booker has that flop factor.

As bad as I feel for Finchy, a head coach patella injury is way better than a Rudy Gobert patella injury.

Either is bad... but I'm sure that's one of Finch's points in taking the hit to protect Mike; he might have saved the season 🤣

[@Dilemina]

Well, Ant's team beat Booker's team, so you have a case. But Booker has made it to an NBA finals. Although everything they had tried to fix their team since then has made him/them worse.

[@josiahberry8743]

@@Dilemina Ant has the intangible "IT" factor that few players in all sports have. For example, Tiger Woods had it, MJ had it, Ali, etc. Time will tell but Ant is different than Booker in that regard, so it's Ant.

With this team, Ant doesn't need to score 35 ppg himself. Booker has to score 49 points to make up for lack of defense. And still come up short.

[@amaxlegit]

Love the pod, always going to support it -- but Reusse embodies everything wrong with Minnesota sports fandom of the past. Leave the constant loathing and negativity behind. From his Tweets, you'd think he doesn't even watch the games; constant, quick negativity with little-to-no praise for this franchise's largest achievement in the last two decades. There is no world where Booker should be getting excuses made for him after games 1-3 of this series. Did he ball out in game 4? Yes. Did he still cry his way to 21 free throws? Yes. Ant > Booker all day, anyone who truly watched this series (including Suns fans) will tell you that. It's time to celebrate this team & give them their flowers, not hyperfocus on the small mistakes to belittle them in the grand picture of the NBA.

[@spol]

Calling it now, this is the future of coaching. Birds Eye view coaching via watching tvs in the locker room. 😂

[@Jhunt-x51]

Reusse again voices his distain for ant. It’s so ridiculous

[@Young_Star]

The wolves need to make sure to account for MPJ while locking down Murray. That guy is sneaky quiet and then shows up at key moments with crazy accuracy on the perimeter. Then if the bigs can keep Jokic's assists low and stay out of foul trouble, they can handle the Nuggets.

[@purplereignCO]

this series is going to be a rock fight. i think the winner will take it all this year.

Knicks will play winner of the 3 6, so likely the pacers. Will be an interesting clash of play styles in that series

[@midnightwolfee2128]

Reusse never said he'd pick Booker over Ant. Would some people in the comments please realise this!

[@ESTNation_]

Talking about bookers 49 points like it didn’t take him 21 free throws to get there and being a no show the whole series😂😂

[@jamesroberts3189]

The Finch injury is such a Minnesota thing to have happened. Wolves win their 1st playoff series in 20 years and the coach gets hurt on the sideline.

[@midnightwolfee2128]

Tell me you were tuning in and out of game 2 and just looking at box scores without telling me you were tuning in and out of game 2 and just looking at box scores: "Ant had a real Clunker in game 2" SMDH

[@johnvtram]

Wondering if Jaden and nickel get porter and help lock down Murray. Looks like kat and naz get Gordon and help stop jokic. We need to play to our strength and not be like the lakers. Having two scorers cannot stop good teams. You need a bench and team that plays like every game is an elimination game

[@oohhgosh9285]

49 doesn't matter if you dont win. Just ask kat about his 60 against the hornets... also, look at all the players that get stats KD, Booker, Hardin, westbrook have they won anything no stats dont matter. The only argument to this is malone and stockton

[@jeremykim124]

Would the Wolves consider putting Ant on Murray and Jaden on MPJ? And doing the KAT/Jokic Rudy in the rover role on Gordon

Game 4 he played good but he had 20+ free throw attempts and outside of that was putrid in the first 3 games he has zero idea what he’s talking about “I’ll take booker in a heartbeat” is one of the worst takes on this pod and that says something because mackey can have some awful takes
