I do feel like Gobert kind of guards himself. He was guarding himself tonight.

Yeah, I do think Minnesota's better on a road. They're like one of my favorite teams to watch. They're one of them teams that they kind of thrive in that adversity situation, right, where at home that you can feel they're a little bit like the Warriors that way. They bring a lunch pail on the road. At home, they're showing off, right? And that's the issue with Minnesota. They can get tight.

They can get tight. And I guess the one the one way I guess I'll disagree with Kenny is that these guys are in elevated roles because there's no cat. And that's why it's been a struggle. These dudes are not number two scorers. They've been in this role all year. But you see the fluctuation of up and down and they still need a guy that if you say you're not getting off today.

They don't know where that's coming from. They hope it's by committee. They get a little tight. Randall's been great in these playoffs. He's much better when he's in front of some food. The guy he can take advantage of. He just didn't look great against Draymond in the first game. The question becomes how reliable are these guys? To me,

Nikhil Alexander Walker is like the prime example of how badly they needed a second, a number two, because he gets so thirsty. Like he wants to, like, I'm about to get my time. I'm about to do this. And they can do that too much. They almost did it tonight and you start giving games back, right? They let Guy Santos and them cut it to seven, right? Like it got a little nervous energy in there.

So I do think they play better on the road. But if you're the Warriors, I feel you. If you can make this a 95-85 game, put them in a situation where you're going back and forth at the end of the game and they have to make shots. They can miss some shots, and they do downplay to teams. They do. They just got to lose one. If you're Steph Curry, you're like, just give me one.
