Bad start, but they took the lead minutes later.

True, but the spurs will go on runs.

So can we.

that first 7 minutes was the ballgame. Just do anything, and we win the game.

This is our ceiling. We just can't score enough when we get this far.

Wemby is in their heads, also.

The Spurs will be better next year, while we are stuck in this scenario. It's kind of depressing.

I don't think Wemby needs to be or is in the Wolves heads. He's just freaking amazing.

My takeaway is I really hope NBA Expansion results in Minnesota heading to the NBA East.

Lore & ARod should be exercising as much energy into that effort as getting a new Gym.
 

Everything has come up for the wolves so far. They need to win this one.

Is Ant a good inbounder, cause I have concerns from my lazy-boy.
 




They still can win this if Ant can stop pouting and actually play some defense.
 

Maybe Finch needs to hurl a chair across the floor. Wolves don’t seem to understand the importance of this.

They are going past our backcourt like we are standing in sand.

We are 9 minutes from talking off season
 












Ant was making some ridiculous shots.

He can be unreal at times.
 



I don't think Wemby will get suspended, but he certainly could. I'm enjoying reading the comments from Spurs fans. "He got fouled first! If they call the foul, none of this happens!" It's the retaliation that gets caught 99% of the time. He screwed up, big time. Luckily for Wemby, he doesn't have a bad reputation. If Gobert did what he did, Rudy is suspended for at least 5 games.

My opinion is that if the Spurs won last night, they suspend him for game 5

Since the Spurs lost, they do not suspend him for game 5

This is where the acting that is done in the NBA comes into play. Naz should have stayed on the ground like he was knocked out. He should have laid motionless.

No way there is an additional suspension,

Per AI -

The "All-Star" Ejection:Wembanyama's exit with 8:39 left in the second quarter is the earliest an All-Star has been tossed from a playoff game in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98).

Additionall, Naz wasn’t injured and stayed in the game.

I think they suspend him Tuesday night and call every ticky tack foul on the wolves who will foul out multiple players and lose by eight. The series goes seven.

There was intent, malice and extreme contact. Wemby could've broken Naz's jaw or crushed his larynx. It should be a minimum of 2-3 games. It will be none.
 


The Wolves got a gift and almost squandered it🤷‍♂️

If Wemby plays, I’d hammer his numbers on the over

I dunno. A forcing, over aggressive Wemby is exactly who you want to play. He fouls more and takes worse shots percentage wise. The spurs carve when they move the ball and pick and roll with him

Even if he wasn't ejected, it was his 3rd foul, so he was sitting until after half anyway. He's their best player, but he's not the entire team. Never know how things would have shaken out.
