Stop pretending we pay for players; we’re here for Foster who calls fouls that aren't there, because if he says they’re there, they’re there. Naz Reid stepping in front of camera? Lucky no suspension. Keep focus on Foster. Period. #NBA #Timberwolves #ScottFoster #RefGoat

@zevin0 @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead Yes. “Unnecessary Contact”. Everyone thinks they’re expert. Maybe they’re right but I’ve seen it called-even 1-2 int. myself over years. Roles reversed hope ref protects our guys. At least we finally found something more controversial/heated than politics: defend Foster. Yikes

@SamRyanWX @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead I can fault the call because they looked at it on slow mo replay. Never once did they mention anything about contact with the head. Everyone discussing this has said they have never seen this called a flagrant. It was a big reason Hou tied the game. Foster the extender.

The Julius Randle Flagrant Randle had two steps to gather speed and Sengun sold it pretty hard Pool report said Randle didn’t try to avoid it, yet he tries to go on the outside Are we really faulting players for FIGHTING through a screen?

@zevin0 @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead Yes. “Unnecessary Contact”. Everyone thinks they’re expert. Maybe they’re right but I’ve seen it called-even 1-2 int. myself over years.

@TWolvesLead 2. I admit error in stating he was bleeding from mouth. Realize that was at end of regulation. Point was Foster saw Sengun lying on floor grasping head, his elevating call to flagrant occurred after pause which is good. He was also in position, unlike many of his other calls.

@SamRyanWX 1. Have you ever navigated around a screen before? 2. You don't even have your plays right.

@TWolvesLead 1. Relevance? Played 2yrs D2 at PLNU San Diego. 2. Randle called for Flagrant after collision with screener. Bad play to criticize ref. Takes focus for the unexplainable calls on Rudy and Naz elsewhere in game.

@zevin0 @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead “Excessive force” is judgement call and can be debated. Personally, flagrant okay given he ran right through him. Shoulder lifts, could impact head. No attempt to stop. Flop? Randle is one of strongest in league. Ref saw Sengun holding head. Can’t fault this call. Others? Yes.

@SamRyanWX @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead I do have to question the head snap back holding when you look at the replay to assess if it meets the level of a flagrant on slow motion replay where there is zero head contact, head contact is never mentioned, and it was simple a BS call that nobody has ever heard being called.

@rickwan85 @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead I’m not sure 'defending' a community by using the very language that demeans them is the win you think it is, Rick. Let’s try for a little more logic and a lot more kindness.

@SamRyanWX @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead Shit you’re an asshole, you never call a downy retarded you should reevaluate your life

@BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead I hear ya. I stopped officiating any lower level games for same reason but found the Jv/v levels to be a blast. Having kids of own really helped my maturing process too and last few years was surprised at my own game management which made officiating way more enjoyable.

@SamRyanWX @TWolvesLead I could have reffed for 20 more years but gave it up as I was tired of every parent thinking their kid was going to the association and players constantly talking back. If you think it’s so easy why don’t you stop playing and actually pick up a whistle…pay wasn’t worth hassle

@BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead

@SamRyanWX @TWolvesLead I know ball too…I reffed for 20 years of MSHSL league basketball and that included state tournament games. A refs job is to officiate the game and not be part of the story, Foster makes it about himself. Sengun loses benefit of doubt as he flops so much

@rickwan85 @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead Nah. People with Down syndrome are tougher and bring more joy to others than anyone. I wish I had a sliver of that character. Don’t think I could do what they do, but I appreciate the attempted compliment.

@SamRyanWX @BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead You’re still retarded no matter what you’ve done tho, don’t forget that part

@BaseballNorm @TWolvesLead Good catch. Flagrant. Regardless, Sengun reacting to some sort of head contact, and looked excessive. Foster made “flagrant foul” call subsequent to common. My “feelings” are irrelevant. Don’t like foster, period. 25years mshsl var.official. D2 college player. I know ball.

@SamRyanWX @TWolvesLead lol you can’t even get the play correct where the blood occurred…he didn’t start bleeding until the last block of regulation. And it wasn’t a tech it was a flagrant but let’s not let facts get in way of your feelings

@TheICHpodcast 10% is Tithing in Bible, given to temple for a certain period, not all year, not commanded to anyone other than to Israel, for a certain time, for temple. Church is encouraged to give what you can, out of joy. Not impulsive. No %, no command. No temple, not under law. Not Israel.

Tony Robbins reveals that giving away money will GREATLY increase your income👀 “I started tithing about 17% of my income 15 years ago… The level of wealth I've generated in that time period is completely insane by my standards… BILLIONS”

@TheICHpodcast True, 10% is in the bible. 17% pre tax is 10% after tax God bless you

@AIIThingsWolves Ha! Did you come up with that slogan, “slomosexuals”? That’s clever, haven’t heard that before. 👍

Slomosexuals RISE UP (Peep Julius Randle afterwards🫵)

Questions: 1) Should anyone in media be allowed to vote in elections? 2) Should players, coaches or officials be allowed to bet on sport games they are apart of? *FYI, wife and I made decision several years ago to no longer vote or participate in politics due to our positions

This was awesome! What a moment for Thomas Bidne at the State Tournament! From his teammates and coaches to the opposing team and coaches (well done Albany) to the excitement of the announcers. Truly awesome!!

Congratulations to both amazing high school boys basketball teams #wayzata #applevalley. What a great game and great season. Heads high boys! #mshsl #class4A #wiggins #NolanAnderson. Nolan, your first grade teacher (my wife) is so proud of you-& son said way to go! #brightfutures

Follow up: #Randle -notably better last two games. Clearly reviewed tape and I can tell has intentionally stopped himself, passing rather than a contested shots; allowing whole team more space and more points-including #Randle himself. Well done! #timberwolves #NBA
