@RandBall 4. Should have been a foul as Fox undercut him while he was airborne.

1. Love the reference. 2. Still don't know how the hell. 3. Almost as impressive/improbable as it hitting his leg is Ayo grabbing it before it goes out of bounds as he fumbles it away.

@JonKrawczynski It's brutal. Game 1 was so much more fun to watch. Why does the NBA want this as it's product? Too many soft calls. Nobody wants to watch people shoot free throws.

32 free throws and counting, 25 for SAS, 17 for MIN. Not sure I'm gonna be able to make my 6:30 a.m. flight

@Gaardsy Why is Castle being reffed differently than everyone else on the floor? Spurs are being allowed to be super physically and he somehow draws a foul every time he drives.

Absorbing the contact? Seriously…

@PDWolves Gotta move. Drew Wemby to the corner last possession with only Fox under the hoop and Randle and Clark just stood on the weakside.

Wolves are being just suffocated right now on offense. Cannot function.

@PDWolves Between those, the over and back and the Ant travel, refs missed some basic calls you hardly ever see missed. Love the physicality they let both teams play though, so fun to watch. Turned on NY-Philly at dinner and every time I looked up someone was at the line. Boring.

There’s no way I’ll hold out much longer but I’m not obsessing over Wemby’s goaltends yet—they’re super athletic plays that look impossible when they happen and it’s nothing but close calls missed. Finch smart to highlight it, and like I said I won’t hold out for long either.

@JaceFrederick It's gotta be such a tough adjustment going from playing against Jokic for 6 straight games to Wemby.

Obviously getting stuffed a lot inside Finch mentioned paint decision making as a key to the series But, to be honest, hard to gauge some of that in real time. Easier to see what opportunities were missed on rewatch

Good half for the wolves Tied is a great result given Jaden’s foul trouble Spurs misfired from 3 a lot, but that was the general concern on them entering these playoffs 24 minutes makes sense as Ant’s restriction number?

@PDWolves Exactly, team worst -10 in the +/- feels bizarre. Same on the other side with Keldon Johnson worst at -13.

Don't look at the box score, I just tried looking at TJ's ugly line is all the evidence you need that they don't mean anything in this series. Dogfight.

@Gaardsy That came off the rim HARD. Not really sure you can blame Naz for that.

Naz wasn't ready to catch it, ended up in a second chance 3. I struggle to explain what's missing with Naz, it's a general feeling of typically being a step slow. Like surprised the intensity is upped.

just an all-caps WE’RE SOME MOTHERFUCKING DOGS performance from the timberwolves tonight bravo

The whole team wearin Donte.

@PDWolves Frustrating Jokic is gonna sit and rest the whole 4th

why is Jonas being so obnoxious

This is so effing good

JADEN WALKED THE WALK TONIGHT

@whodis_whatdat @WhatsWrightShow @getnickwright @TheVolumeSports @boostmobile Brunson might be worse than all of them. Booker is close.

@WhatsWrightShow @getnickwright @TheVolumeSports @boostmobile Murray, Shai, Luka, Joker…. None from the US. Are there absurdly obnoxious American floppers?

“Anthony Edwards doesn’t give a s*** about selling calls. He’s there to go through you. I love that about him.” @getnickwright says it’s refreshing to see a young star who isn’t foul-baiting every possession

Ant on going for blocks: "I just be watching Dwyane Wade clips. He would beat shit at the rim so I just be trying to beat shit at the rim that's all. If Rudy ain't down there, I'm trying to beat that shit. I don't care who it is"

Donte deserved the exclamation point tonight.

The called this a foul by the way. Imagine how much Anthony Edwards would go to the line if this was a foul lol

@ChristopherHine @PDWolves If they were actually all fouls they probably wouldn't have made the shots. Complete bs.

The Timberwolves have fouled Denver while shooting threes three times this quarter and Denver has made each of them. Murray twice and now Hardaway.

@JonKrawczynski Completely one sided reffing so far

There's no way that's a flagrant. I'm sorry. Murray jumped into him.

@JonKrawczynski When did his 3 ball get so smooth? Getting it off quickly as well.

Terrence Shannon Jr is looking awfully awfully interesting as the playoffs loom
