    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Just such a horrible call there. If a dribbler initiates the contact and then flops it shouldn't be a foul on the defender . NBA needs to deal with this.

    I married well. My wife doesn't mind if we watch with no volume 🙂. I really wish the Wolves also broadcast the game

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    They just showed graphic that teams that go up 2-0 in conference finals are 76-6. 😬

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Brunson flopping around for fouls as well. Good on the refs for not complying here at the end

    I like rewarding conf champions. I know many will disagree. At least the NFL made the right choice.

    My favorite: "OKC gets to play football on one end and live in a glass house on the other."

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Nick Wright is not local media. He is a premiere natl NBA media personality. Some of his thoughts: "I hate that this (flopping) is the story of game 1." "The way OKC gets to play football on one end of the court and behind museum glass on the other is infuriating." "The dichotomy between...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Exactly. Maybe if teams started actively coaching flopping the league would address it.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Maybe coaches need to start practicing flopping techniques with their players. Perhaps employ Flopping Coaches. I write this in all seriousness.

    Advanced stats saying our 3 bench guys were 4 for 24 with open threes. (5/28 overall) Another: Wolves 8-3 in playoffs this season. 8-0 when Ant has at least 4 assists. (Per Phil Mackey)

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Whole Thunder team struggled first half, not sure I credit Chet's struggles strictly to Rudy. Guess would have to go back and look at the tape. Anyway imo Chet is much better than Rudy thru the playoffs so far. Also to your point though, Rudy had a +/- of -2. I sometimes wonder about the...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    For sure. Generally, though, Rudy is playing significantly worse than last year playoffs imo. The puzzling thing to me is how weak he is playing. He just flaps at the ball when rebounding. If somehow he does get both hands on the ball, the slightest bump dislodges it. If he is passed the...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I am sure refs review these games. Really hard to fathom why they don't understand what is happening here. Thanks for sharing the vid. Especially interesting the sequence where Shai gets the call and then DDV doesn't for virtually the same thing.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I begin games by telling myself awful reffing is just part of the game, that way doesn't bother me quite as much. Worst part to me is how they just stand like potted plants. Maybe try sliding around the court to improve line of sight.
