In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

Honestly believe whoever wins game 7 - Denver btw, Edwards will score 65 and ascend to a higher plane of existence and the rest of those goobers will somehow find a way to piss it away - wins the title. Celtics are good but I dunno, I still think they're frauds and deep down they know it and come the finals will reach inside them and let all that fraudulence take over. Knicks and Mavs are just not in any shape to win the title - they could have, were they at 100%, but they're not.
Jammy bastard, I mean, well chuffed for you
Beat me by 20, I’ll beat you by 25, then you beat me by 30, and then I beat you by….
The story of these playoffs. Tired of this.

I quite enjoy the journey of the Knicks fight for survival. Now possibly down Josh Hart too! They might finish game 7 with 4 players at this rate 
Mavs with the comeback to take the series.
God the worst scenario would be a Mavs Celtics finals

Mavs won't though, no worries, there
Who do you have coming out of the West vs Boston ?
Denver, because I don't trust anybody on the wolves in a game 7 away other than Edwards. He'll score 70 and start levitating across the arena shooting laser beams from his eyes and farting fireballs and the wolves will still somehow lose because KAT and the rest of those goobers somehow manage to go -10/40(you read that right, minus 10! They'll shoot so bad they'll somehow score points for the Nuggets!) and Denver will win by like 2 on a last ditch auto-basket by Gobert because why not
The Knicks suck.
Everything going in for the Pacers. Still expecting the Knicks to come back and make this a close game.
I hope KG gets a nice gift for his birthday.
Pacers shooting 130% from the field in a game 7 at MSG was not on my bingo card
Knicks are effectively down 5 players. Their only chance in this was the Pacers nerves failing and playing like shit, like gm5

Not much you can do when the Pacers continue to shoot the lights out
Knicks season ends with Brunson breaking his hand
Incredible run of bad luck

Probably a mercy killing - they’d have only been battered by 30 every game with the celtics with their depleted squadKnicks season ends with Brunson breaking his hand

Don't know about KG but ant is giving the non Timberwolves fans the gift of never having to hear the MJ comparisons ever again after this.
The Wolves are back in it and have a momentum. Should be great last quarter
Nuggets need someone outside of Murray and Jokic to start shooting well or wolves are going to blow them away in the 4th.
The Wolves have this, their defence strangled (again) the Nuggets in the 2nd half
That has to be legendary level choking and the worst coaching job after having the lead they did, how the feck do you not rest jokic after 1st quarter when you had 15 point lead for most of those quarters. Most of these offensive boards that turned the game late would not happen if jokic isn't gassed.
Damn both road teams won game 7. Saw the nuggets up big at half time and didn't check the score till 2 mins left in the game. How did the offense stagnate so much
Terrible shooting, bad minutes management and Malone not having any plan outside of a jokic Murray pick and roll when he needs a bucket. Also credit to the wolves, Gobert basically singlehandedly shut down any jokic to gordon easy dunk passes.
Brilliant stuff from the Wolves
Tired or not, the Wolves mostly guarded Jokic well in this series; see Game 2 in Denver and Game 6 in Minneapolis, for example. His Game 5 was the exception, not the norm, in this series.
Murray was great today in the first half, but pretty much disappeared in the second. Porter didn’t show up to this series. That was it. No one could score.
In the 4 games that that lost in this series, Denver scored less than 100 points: 99, 80, 70 and 90 tonight. Poor numbers, and that because of the defense by Minnesota.

Nah, your disrespect of KAT has been noted. We are coming for you.
How do the conference finals matchup look on paper?
The Celtics should have no problem with The Pacers.
A few months ago, Dallas would have been in trouble vs The Wolves due to their lack of size. But now they have Gafford and P.J. Washington. Lively also.
It should be a great series. Minnestota have home court advantage.
Hopefully Leon Rose can get us a solid bench next season so Thibs can rotate, even though he probably won't. Also curious what they will pay OG. The Knicks were incredible when their 3 stars were healthy, but there's no guarantee next playoffs will be any different injury wise (if they make it). OG and Mitchell Robinson getting injured is basically a guarantee at this point.
Gutted for the Nugs, Jokic deserved to repeat but can’t do it all by himself every time.
Anyone but Celtics at this point because all New England teams can get in the bin.

Had a fantastic time at the game, my first NBA playoffs experience ever and man is it different from what you can see at regular season games. I told my wife at the start of third quarter when Nuggets were up 15-20 that it’d be good if Timberwolves can catch up slightly, otherwise it was going to be a drag fourth quarter with little excitement, and did they deliver… didn’t expect them to go all the way and win relatively comfortably in the end though.
Jokic and Murray were Exhausted. Porter JR and Gordon offered nothing Offensively.
plus Wolves Defence was incredible in the 3rd.
Probably a good thing for the NBA the Knicks lost considering Brunson would be out the rest of the playoffs and with no Randle and whomever else. That's probably a four-game sweep with all games being +30 margin of victory, or maybe +20 when Boston rested all their key players for the last quarter each game.
The Pacers are truly one of the weakest conference finals teams I can remember, Haliburton has been so up and down so far these playoffs. Celtics won’t have any issues with them I expect, but it’ll be a great battle with whichever team comes out of the West.

The best thing for the wolves is Edwards was arguably their worst player of the starting 5, and they won anyways, even convincingly, in Denver. Impressive show of maturity.
I was wrong about them. And they will win the title now

Regarding Edwards, it's interesting to see how people talk about his game. The negative side of the narrative is entirely based on scoring because he had a very good game when it comes to defense, rebounding and playmaking.
Edit: Also http://bringyaass.com/
I didn't say he was bad. I said the others were better. He was good overall, but he didn't have to be literally Michael Jordan and win it singlehandedly
I know what you said, I was talking about the overall narrative. But your second point is even more important, he never wins it singlehandedly, the Wolves base everything on defense and sharing the ball on offense. Wolves generally wins by having a handful of player scoring double digits points, not playing iso and by playing team defense otherwise they lose.
