Minnesota Timberwolves VS OKC Thunder Game 2 Western Conference Finals

22 May 2025

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Oklahoma City guard won the NBA MVP for the 2024-2025 season. Sam Presti OKC General Manager won the Executive of the year Award. The Thunder won the first WCF game against the Timberwolves. That’s a lot of winning.

That’s why this game 2 feels like a must win game for Minnesota. Without a win they would have to win the next 4 of 5 game to win the series. That’s very improbable against their opposition. NBA officials gave OKC a favorable whistle in game 1 and is repeating the process in game 2. I don’t blame OKC for the officiating just makes the game blah.

You must learn Edwards

Anthony Edwards is still trying to out physical the Thunder. That’s what most say is the definition of insanity. Trying the same thing over and over. A lot of ESPN host want to anoint Edwards the next best thing. While overlooking this year’s MVP SGA because he doesn’t dunk as hard and talk trash like Anthony. All things that get them more clicks but no vic..tories.

The NBA is all about winning. That’s what gets you respect and Shai understands this very well. His whole game is predicated on winning. The way he uplifts his team with more than just lip service.

Checked Out

Minnesota Timberwolves have played with no sense of urgency in the first half. OKC went into halftime 58-50 8 point lead. I was thinking Edwards and the crew would start the 3rd quarter strong. Instead OKC had no mercy in the quarter and finish the quarter on a 10-2 run. Extending their lead to 22.
