Don't forget losing the North Stars to Dallas. That was your fault too.
Minny, put in Garza!
- Thread starter Sett1997
- Start date
I deny responsibility for that. I was not a North Stars fan and Norm Green had already made plans to move the team when I moved here in the summer of 1992. Of course, maybe he was aware of my reputation and made preemptive plans to move the team. Damn, that might be my fault too.
They got punched in the face and didn't put up a fight in game 3. Game 4 Denver just hit their shots.
I think they actually will blow it, This reminds me of what the pistons went through to get past the Celtics and then the bulls with the pistons.He's so fun to watch. So much for it being KAT's team.
Anthony is starting to take everything more seriously; he now eats right and takes care of his body
The Wolves surely won't blow that 2 games to 0 lead and lose this series...right?
Next year wolves will be the favorites though.
Nuggets made adjustments, stopped relying on Murray to bring the ball up which helped him out.
Aaron Gordon is hitting jump shots for the first time in his career.
Wolves are up 36 with 8:33 to play. It looks like it's officially Garza time!
If the Wolves close this one out, they will play Denver on Sunday. Game 7.

Luka with the top of the key 3!
Garza finished with eight points and two rebounds in eight minutes. The Wolves are headed to Denver for Game 7 on Sunday.
I missed the game. I see Minny jumped on Denver in the 1st quarter, outscoring them 31-14. And then MN led 86-61 after 3 quarters. Minny then outscored Denver 29-9 in the 4th qtr.
Garza should have gotten in for the whole 4th qtr
Minny came out desperate in a must win situation; I did not expect Denver to look that bad, losing by 45 points.
The Timberwolves have a "Bricken for Chicken" promotion with Chick-fil-A. Any time an opposing player misses 2 straight free throws in the 2nd half of a game at Target Center, everyone with the Timberwolves app gets a free chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-A.

This series against the Nuggets has has some very lopsided games. Crazy how big of swings from one game to the next. Road teams winning the 1st 4.
Good for MN to flip things and force a game 7.

Luka is about as efficient a bench big man as you see in the league.
He needs to get to a team that needs more minutes from a big.
Hope he makes the Finals this year tho

Local drive time radio host up here Dan Barrerio openly campaigns for Garza to play more
Also, Garza's eight points last night vaulted him to 50th on the Timberwolves Career Playoff Scoring Leaders list with 23 points. (Yes, the Wolves are a long and storied organization.)
That’s saying something. He’s about as negative as they come. Not a big fan of his
Luka came in with under 2 min left in game and put in 6 pts as the Mavs get the win to advance to the Finals.
If he would have played the full game her would have scored 120+. That's on the coach.
I assume our Luka still has more points per minute than their Luka in the playoffs

Garza should be getting more minutes somewhere
Better than playing for nothing in the G or abroad. He's getting paid.
Minimum salary deal, from what I've read. Still a shit load of money. I'm not sure how many years they consider Garza experience to be but if it's 2 years he will be making $2,087,519 next year and a bit more the following year.
Luka Garza signed a 2 year, $4,512,184 contract.
What he is scheduled to make:
$2,162,606: 2024-2025
$2,349,578: 2025-2026
He's a deep bench role player in the NBA.
That's still a higher level than 99% of people who have tried will get to.
