@JonesOnTheNBA It’s the flopping for me. I know people talk nonstop about “unethical hoops” but it’s just not enjoyable to watch them flop around and bait the refs. Especially when they’re good enough where it’s unnecessary.

All MN all the time. Let’s go Wolves.

Feels like everyone outside of OKC is pulling for the Spurs lol. The opposite of how it was for most of the KD years.
English
@JonesOnTheNBA Difficult pass + make somebody other than SGA make a clutch shot. Think you should help there.
English
Hindsight is 20/20, but I would rather Wemby come help there because that pass to Chet wouldn’t have been easy if Wemby is in the vicinity.
English
@foxonabox_ @HPbasketball Not just fans. Other players rated him as one of the most overrated this year. TNT crew roasted him until he shut Draymond up last postseason. Shaq still refuses to say anything good about him. Will go down as extremely underrated player for those who know ball.
English
Curious on other Wolves fans' thoughts on this. Maybe I'm too kind in celebrating good teams that give exciting memories that you can be proud of.

The Gobert trade remains a failure, same as it always was. Franchises get 2-3 players EVER like Ant. The only goal once you get one is to win a title. At no point ever for one second were the Wolves serious title contenders with Rudy, and the investment set the team back years.
English
@HPbasketball Absolutely wrong. I think the bigger question is initial trade for, and subsequent investment in, Julius Randle. Having him alongside Rudy, playing styles and contracts, puts the wolves in a tough spot right now.
English
@RussoHockey Guessing we’ll just run it back because we finally won a playoff series but really hope not. This series shows we’re not remotely close to competing for a cup.
English
Brett Kulak wins it after Kaprizov can't connect with Boldy on a 2-on-1.
Wild blow 3-goal lead to lose a playoff game for first time ever and their season ends in humiliating fashion
English
@RussoHockey 7 shots over the last 2 periods of a must win game is insane
English
@James_Pratt_1 @Wolvesmuse Shit didn’t realize he was out all of next year too. You’re right with FA timing. Massive bummer on all fronts.
English
@tlav123 @Wolvesmuse Donte is out for probably all of next year and is a free agent thereafter (I think). I’m not sure you can trade him
English
Anthony Edwards deserves a legit second option next to him
There’s been swings at KD and Giannis, but it’s time to convert and get him a true #2
English
@JonKrawczynski “I think the issue is I’m not trusting him enough. More iso for Randle to start the 4th.”
-Finch, probably
English
The foul trouble forced the Wolves to go smaller with Conley, and the Spurs jumped all over him on the defensive end.
Julius Randle is 2-12 from the field. It's been a really rough series from a scoring standpoint for him.
English
@ChristopherHine Just a quick blow I’m sure. Finch will put him out there so he can get that double double.
English
@gowolves155 @NateDuncanNBA It would be hilarious if people didn’t actually respect his opinion
English
@NateDuncanNBA oh come on that was not "responding with equal physicality".
English
If you keep getting fouled over and over, you feel you have to respond with equal physicality to hold onto the ball. He got out of control, but it definitely affects your mentality in that moment when crazy physicality is allowed. It's called a ref keeping control of the game

@NateDuncanNBA This is a bad take. You can’t wind up and throw an elbow cause you’re frustrated.
English
@RealPhilycheese @VanLathan Yeah I instantly regretted including him in my last tweet lol. Should have kept that to Jaden.
Appreciate Randle’s contributions but I think Wolves need to move on from him this summer. When he’s not good he’s actively hurting the team. No middle ground.
English
@tlav123 @VanLathan I hear you but look at Randle’s stats in all 9 playoff games. He’s been really bad
English
@RealPhilycheese @VanLathan Maybe. Spurs defense is elite and they’re making it hard.
But wolves shot 6/21 on corner 3s and Jaden/Randle shot 8/34 from the field. It’s reasonable to expect some positive regression.
English
@tlav123 @VanLathan Wolves are averaging 102 points over 3 games. The “despite shooting…” is just their offense man
English
@Roadddd0gg @VanLathan Competitive series between 2 great teams where 2 games could have gone either way. Again not sure why people think the wolves don’t have a chance. It’s an uphill battle but not a foregone conclusion.
English
@tlav123 @VanLathan Could also say that Spurs are a missed shot from a 3-0 lead. Next game is crucial
English
@big_business_ Yep won’t argue that. Legit unguardable on one end. Then does ALL the guarding at the other end. Truly a unicorn.
On a related note, please please please let the wolves go to to the east when expansion comes.
English
Yeah man but Wemby was legit unstoppable in that 4th quarter
mchubris@tlav123
@big_business_ Impossible to beat that version of Wemby. Wolves didn’t do themselves any favors before the 4th tho.
English
@Wolvesmuse Wolves need to switch it up for Game 4. Flop. Bench Randle. Do something other than whatever that was to close the 4th. Don’t think we can beat the spurs playing the game we want to play. Time for finch to work his magic.
English
Just can’t hit a shot in the final few minutes
Brutal
English
@big_business_ Impossible to beat that version of Wemby. Wolves didn’t do themselves any favors before the 4th tho.
English
Timberwovles played hard but that Wemby 4th quarter was special
English
Hope TJ Shannon closes.
He's been tremendous defensively and has made a lot of nice plays in the half-court to break the paint and get the defense in the rotation
My vote would be Ayo, Ant, Shannon, McDaniels and Reid
English
