Watching SAS dominate Minnesota is somehow more fraustrating then when they beat us
I know the series is not over yet but watching Minnesota struggle against them honestly makes me rethink a lot of the excuses we had after the Spurs beat us.
when we lost, it was easy to say we were missing shooting, missing size, missing more offesive options except Deni, playoff experience, coaching staff, missing versatile bigs with good 3pt shooting that can create better matchup problems against Wemby.
But now you look at this Minnesota team and they basically check every one of those boxes.
They are a good defensive team with deep playoff experience. they have a top 10 NBA superstar. They have physicality. They have spacing. They have Rudy Gobert anchoring the defense. They have good front court with good shooting in Naz Reid and Randle and overall a much more complete roster .
And somehow the end result still looks the same.
That’s the part that’s discouraging. Usually you can watch a contender and at least convince yourself there’s a blueprint to challenge them. Against this Spurs team it almost feels like every ideal matchup still ends up looking not effective once Wemby is involved.
It honestly starts making you question whether there’s even a realistic move out there that can make us competitive against this version of the Spurs. If a roster like Minnesota’s is being dominated like that, what exactly is the blueprint supposed to be?
