    Hes not? His teams win. Towns teams win with butler, edwards and gobert. Not much doubt hes always been more impactful

    Minny is more talented than they're given credit for I think.

    Ant and KAT are All-Star players and then you have a great defensive player in Rudy, you have the 6th man of the year too, good vet leader in Conley, depth is good, etc. etc.

    If this same team was in a "sexier" market like New York, LA, Miami, Chicago, etc. they'd have a ton more hype, but they're getting a lot of their flowers now that they beat the defending champs.

    They could win, they are definitely talented enough, but it kinda reminds me of the mid 90s Magic ... inexperience may be their undoing.

    maybe, but they're a reslient bunch. when they were down by 20, multiple players were upset on the minny bench, KAT got up twice to go into the tunnel then came back. It seemed that they were unraveling at the seams, but they pulled it together and showed up in the 2nd half to win the game in a hostile crowd.

    Yup the one thing they have that a lot of "talented young teams" generally don't have is they have a very good defensive bed rock to build their game on.

    They have talent + depth + defense. If this team was in a bigger market, they would have a ton more hype but if they keep playing well in the playoffs, they'll get their due.

    That would legitimately be hilarious. When he gets interviewed, I want him to say **** Draymond Green
