All the doom and melancholy around the Timberwolves suggests they lost the series at the Target Center Tuesday night.
They might actually win.
It's crazy like the Timberwolves because they lost 99-88 to the Golden State Warriors, but in fact, there's no need to worry about whether Steph Curry's nervous hamstrings will keep him away from him for a long time.
That's OK, Anthony Edwards looks like he's addicted to Cowboy Jack before Tipoff.
It's OK, everyone on the Timberwolves forgot how to shoot for a long time.
That's OK, every time someone touches the ball, Jimmy Butler hits the boo every time.
It doesn't matter if Curry can't return to the Western Conference semifinals in a short time.
Now, this has not spared their sin Timberwolves. Nothing at all. They should understand something about the embarrassing efforts they make in their home place.
However, what is as bad as the Timberwolves is that the reality is that when everything is said, they can only lose 11 points.
How bad the Timberwolves' execution should be a blowout for most of the 48 minutes. This is not because the Warriors are not able to perform this dominance without the Curry Leader.
That didn't take anything away from Butler, who scored three times the assist, Draymond Green was his teammate who needed him and more, or friend Buddy Hield, who led all scorers with 24 points.
This just illustrates the facts about the Warriors. The car has always been designed specifically for curry. It is unavailable with others in the driver's seat.
It was a shame for the Warriors, as they looked capable of defeating frustration before Curry was injured in a seemingly harmless game in real time.
Not only does the Warriors use constant ball sports offense to get everything they want, but they also have a much larger size of their surrender at nearly every position to spin defense.
After a deep impression on the Los Angeles Lakers, the Timberwolves suddenly found themselves fighting the Warriors.
Everything changed when the curry suffered from nervous hamstrings as he nailed the driveway and lapped his feet. He immediately grabbed the back of his leg and then immediately retreated to the locker room after a dead ball. He never returned to the bench at any time.
Shortly after the final buzzer rang out in Game 1, Steve Kerr came out and said the Warriors were planning as if they didn't have the best player to play in Game 2.
Nearly a decade ago, the Warriors went through a similar sequence at the other end of the early stages of the dynasty run.
After looking so impressive throughout the playoffs, the Warriors suddenly found themselves fighting the San Antonio Spurs on the street.
Kawhi Leonard changed when he had a clumsy foot sprained on Zaza Pachulia's foot after Kawhi Leonard jumped around the corner. His absence caused the Spurs to cough so badly that after the Warriors managed to make a comeback, they occupied the rest of the way to sweep the Western Conference Finals.
Although the Timberwolves can't sweep the Western Conference semifinals (their rotting performance ensures it won't happen again), they still find themselves in a good position to win the series.
Even the frustrated fan base is trying to see it.
