    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Ant hanging around flailing his arms after every non call while the ball goes the other way not only doesn't help his cause, it hurts the team. That's not smart. Naz and DDV were doing it too. From what I read and saw, Finch said the players need to focus on the game because SGA is going to...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I seriously doubt any NBA front office personnel, coaches or players would call SGA a "manufactured star" or "pretty smart," but you can. Like it or not, there are three guys on the floor who are going to have something to do with the outcome and the wolves have to do a better job of getting...

    Interesting Richard Pitino interview on his time at Minnesota

    Good dude. Sorry it didn't work out for him here.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I was mocking you about SGA not being a top 100 player because you deserved it. OKC was 68-14 because of Nikola Topic and Rob Dillingham is 6'6" and 225lbs. SGA is a great player and part of the reason he's a great player is he's really smart. He knows how to get calls. Sorry, part of being a...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I was curious, so I checked the box score. SGA put up 27 shots (4 from 3pt). Ant put up 13 shots (8 from 3pt). SGA got 14 ft's, Ant got 7 FT's. SGA was rewarded for going to the hoop. OKC shut off the lane and/or Ant settled. (I think his ankle was bothering him.) The wolves should have...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    SGA has been getting those "phantom" calls for the last 2-3 years. He goes to the hoop all the time when he's not shooting the mid range, he's smooth as hell, changes speed and direction beautifully, knows how to use his off arm, leans into the defender then away as he goes up. Most...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    So SGA isn't in your top 100. You whine like Ant. The wolves got beat by a better, smarter team last night that knew how to play the game and play the refs. Let's see if they learn something Thursday.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Either they came out flat after too much time off like they did game one against the warriors or they are toast. They stopped trying to run an offense and just bombed threes (that clanked). Rudy should only touch the ball if he's handing off on the perimeter or it's a lob dunk. That's it...

    All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

    Just finished watching Adolescence on Netflix. It's only four episodes and it's emotionally brutal but incredibly well written, acted and directed. The kind of show that stays with you for a while. On the lighter side, my wife and I have gotten into watching Korean dramas (really kind of soap...

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    I think they will play better than thelast two series. I agree with the consensus that they play down to their opponents. However, that still may not be good enough.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    Chet plays big defensively with his shot blocking.

    Western Conference Finals Minnesota Timberwolves vs Oklahoma City Thunder

    The Thunder's HCA is real and the calls SGA gets are real. They are a really, really good team. The wolves can win this series but only if literally all eight players play above the norm.

    Which Gophers did you miss on badly - you thought XYZ Gopher would be much better or much worse?

    We bailed on a local recruit (can't remember the name) who went on to have an excellent college career to bring in Jelly Fam.

    Luka

    JJ just nailed the shit out of Luka. He said the "team" needed to get in championship shape during the offseason. Everybody else on the roster looks to be in excellent physical condition. Nico wasn't crazy to trade him. He blew it on the compensation.

    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    As much as I fear Curry, I'd much rather play GS than Houston. Houston is bigger, faster, meaner, hungrier and younger than GS. They play slightly better defense and have a slightly better offense than GS, plus home court. If I have a choice, I'll take my chances against 35 year old Butler...

    All Things 2024-25 Minnesota Timberwolves In-Season Thread

    I'd love to say it ain't so but Ant and KAT, at least during his time with the wolves, are right up there with him. LeBron doesn't have to complain much because the refs practically let him call fouls.
