Somehow manages to undersell both Gallo and Wallner
Minnesota Rossco. Since 1986!@TheRossBrendel
Matt Wallner is a poor man’s Joey Gallo. Decent defender (mainly arm), strikes out a ton, and only hits solo home runs. #mntwins

@JakePaynting Feels like we were watching a different game. Wasn’t a second Mike was out there when it felt like he shouldn’t be. Feels like you’ve made up your mind no matter how he plays and now are victory lapping a take since we lost.
English
Punt on the start of the 1st and 3rd quarters with a tiny slow point guard who can’t impact on either end and this is what happens
English
@85brianwilson @WolvesClips Nothing really. Both are just stupid little shenanigans people who don’t like each other do
English
@wolvescentral1 @WolvesClips But honestly what’s the difference in doing shit like that and making a layup?
English
@erapraserj @MavsStan41 I didn’t say any of those. He wasn’t touched, just a non basketball play to create contact for a cheap whistle since the refs/Silver have no backbone.
English
@wolvescentral1 @MavsStan41 All of you com with a different talking point out of 3
1. Okc is physical
2. U can't touch them
3. Dort
Yall don't know basketball and that's okay!!!! Let's help blue check marks pay the bills
English
We still doing this bullshit in the playoffs man?
BrickCenter@BrickCenter_
SGA's whistle is DIABOLICAL 😂
English
@erapraserj @MavsStan41 This is not a reach. This is a defender playing normal defense. There is no basketball play being made by SGA here. The whole point was doing an interpretive dance for the whistle. Only thing JG could’ve done different is have his hands behind his back.
English
@MavsStan41 Just remove the reach in foul of the game if yall gonna cry everytime a dumb defender reaches in and gets punished for it i so fucking tired of yall not knowing the rules of this fucking game and crying like a bunch of bitches
English
Knew this series was gonna be crazy, but could never have pictured anything like this.
Wolves 112, Nuggets 96
It's 3-1 Wolves, and we're heading back to Denver.
English
@parsons_EB @DaneMooreNBA Players man. Finch’s whole message since he got here is flow offense. Which is attacking and ball movement. You can see the life come out of him every possession with a no paint touch jumper.
English
@DaneMooreNBA Do you think it's Finch or the players that don't understand the concept of attacking the rim? The amount of settling for 3s or long jumpers is insane. 33 points against a "terrible defense"?
English
No Wolves starter has more than 4 points, but Ayo Dosunmu, who was the Wolves leading scorer in Game with 25, has 12 here midway through the 2nd.
No one buys into the attack the rim against Denver mindset more than Dosunmu.
English
@DaneMooreNBA Settling for jumpers before a paint touch and lacking ball movement. I can see why finch is aging. They know how to attack Denver but are refusing to do it
English
@CDavidE216 @JonesOnTheNBA I think it is fair to think living in constant surveillance isn’t the best thing. Life before fear of being filmed at all times just seems like an objectively better world. But we are too far gone
English
Great! People think because they have a smart phone it entitles them to violate people’s privacy, film them without their permission, and upload them to social media for ridicule. We need to make laws and shame people for this type of behavior!

The unnamed "local couple" who happened to be vacationing at Ambiente and who took photos of Mike Vrabel and Dianna Russini (in different hotel locations) might have broken the law and could be sued by Vrabel and Russini: sportico.com/law/analysis/2….

@IsaiRico1 @ohnohedidnt24 Saying your team has to quit fouling is crying?
English
@Sam_Vecenie Nembhard and nesmith an easier matchup for him than Daniels? Thought they wore him down last year
English
Dyson Daniels tonight was otherwordly on defense, as a rebounder and as a passer and playmaker. That was ridiculous. Just made Brunson's life utterly miserable. Haven't seen anyone guard Brunson like he did in quite a while.
English
@gregpeterjosep @JaceFrederick This is only a blocking foul in the NBA since about 2020. College, FIBA, high school middle school it’s an offensive foul. And was in the NBA til around 2020.
English
@JaceFrederick A majority of people don’t get blocking fouls. You can have arguments on if the rule is written to softly but this has been a defensive foul for a long time
English
That’s a blocking foul
There are other times where someone actually maintains good defensive positioning on SGA and gets dislodged from it by the off arm
this one Gillespie gets beat and takes an illegal angle to cut off
Im always amazed at the ones people choose to single out
ClutchPoints@ClutchPoints
SGA got away with this push-off on Collin Gillespie. Good no-call or bad no-call? 🤯
English
@terryjt1 @TGrayTruther That ball was like a golf chip it was so high, it wasn’t going anywhere. He dives and misses and it’s still gonna only be a couple steps away from him after bouncing and rolling. Alvarez would’ve scored but that’s worth the risk every single time.
English
Dude deadass had nothing to lose cause with 2 outs the runner was scoring anyways. Dude just said nope I’d rather give up the run.
THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO BETTER PLAYERS THAN HIM IN AAA, LET IT GO
Twins Insider 📖@PrimeBeauregard
Wallner doesn’t even try to make a game saving catch on a routine flyball then Buxton hurts himself diving when the game is already over I don’t think I dislike a player more than number 38
English
@cord741 @RealGarrettCarr @SethDavisHoops Regular season effort is high. Watching games from past eras and guys walk the ball up the court and don’t have to close out on shooters at all. Rules, pace and shooting have inflated scores. Not lack of effort
English
@RealGarrettCarr @SethDavisHoops Playoff defense is fine, but the majority of the regular season is nowhere near the same effort. It makes it hard to pick up a sport where I only watch for the playoffs.
English
@MFtweets25old @SethDavisHoops I agree with your points except for effort. It’s round one and guys have to run more than they ever have before and are keeling over by the end of some of these games. Even regular season effort now is better than most eras. Rules, shooting and pace inflate the scores
English
@SethDavisHoops Flipping, traveling, initiating contact to draw fouls as primary source of scoring, not trying for 3 quarters, and whining has killed the NBA
English
@JohnLanoVoice @PrimeBeauregard @MVPrielipp No it’s actually not that ball was dead. And would bounce 5 feet past him. Alvarez would’ve scored and vientos would’ve been on 2nd. Worth the risk every time
English
@PrimeBeauregard @MVPrielipp I normally agree but Wallner diving there is automatic bases clearing triple
English
Wallner doesn’t even try to make a game saving catch on a routine flyball then Buxton hurts himself diving when the game is already over I don’t think I dislike a player more than number 38
English
@MNJunkie95 @_the_real_balla He was playing so shallow and still didn’t make the play. Good jump and he catches it standing and even with that late jump a dive might get there. Just feel like you have to go for it in that spot
English
@_the_real_balla What did he do wrong? Bad throw, but there was no chance
English
@10Mkrbr @KyleTuckerCBB Yes I think it would be harder to find back to back tourney losses as devastating as that, but I just see some crazy takes about how he isn’t fit for the job. He’s clearly an excellent coach.
English
@wolvescentral1 @KyleTuckerCBB He’s also choked away two of the biggest and worst losses in tournament history!
English
Scheyer definitely has to answer the big-game coaching question. But three straight Elite Eights and a Final Four is the kind of choking lots of programs would die for right about now.
Christian Hutchinson@christianhut07
@KyleTuckerCBB Just to choke again in the tournament
English
@PrimeBeauregard He’s a couple burgers away from being a first baseman
English
Royce entered today with -5 OAA and I think he’s gonna be at like -7 after this game I just don’t know what to do with this player
