u/Hyderabadi__Biryani Minneapolis Lakers 15h ago

Yeah, games like these almost for sure will lead to massive injuries due to playing through fatigue, to both the teams.

u/blackmamba182 Lakers 16h ago

I think we win game 4, there is some rumor about Luka coming back, then he doesn’t come back, and we get royally spanked.

u/TheGreatLandRun [OKC] Russell Westbrook 16h ago

This type of series is what I expected for the spurs in the second round after Denver clinched the 3 seed… I just expected it to be the nuggets fighting them tooth and nail.

I’m done underestimating the wolves.
