are you familiar with MN pro sports?

great year from the Wolves and I did not expect them to beat Denver then lose to Dallas. The 2 greatest magicians in the league in Joker and Luka. More players need to learn from those white boys.

NAZ > KAT

I was bashed from ever suggesting to pay Jimmy and let KAT go away on other platforms years and years ago. good luck getting anybody to take on that kind of money

Pretty disappointing they have no answers for Luka or Kyrie. Either one gets what they want whenever they want. Which is surprising since the Wolves supposedly have the second coming of Pippen and Jordan, along with the 4x DPOY and best shooting big man of all time…

Typical Minnesota team.

Why did they put Gobert back in? They were doing fine when he was out. If Kat isn’t hitting from outside then drive to the basket.

There will not be a game 5!!

This will be a series lost by the whole team. Thier inexperience and immaturity are showing.
Ant has is showing he is still 22, he is trying to make the right plays when he is “double teamed”, but his decisions are made at the last second instead of anticipated resulting in turnovers/poor passes, and not shooting enough.

Kat can’t get out of his own way!

Gobert is should NEVER be left to defend Luka or Kyrie on the perimeter one on one!

NAW and McDaniels are still young and inconsistent on the offensive end.

Mike Conely and Naz have been super solid this series.

The coaching staff should realize “our way” or winning needs to change to reflect the match up! they just have not been able to make the right adjustments this series. And the fact they have not been able to change style of play or be competitive closing out quarters is frustrating.

It was a fun year though. (i doubt we make a series out it now!)

The way I see it, this series is what the Press Reporter’s question after the Wolves won game 7 in regards to having the team “pay it’s dues and learn from experiences” was talking about…Ant and Kat’s response was “We lost last year” & “We’ve been losing for 20 years, How much do we need to lose? Damn?”

It’s extremely rare for a team to come out of nowhere and win a Championship, it typically takes a few seasons of building blocks of success and failures to learn from and build upon…

It’s certainly possible they could win the next 4 games (it feels like they could have won the first 3 with a few stops and makes at the end of the games) but either way this season has been a big step in the right direction…

just my 2cents…they’ve been fun to watch!

Ant got them this far and Ant stopped them here.

Most teams have to get this far and lose, before winning it all. It’s a process… painful, but a process.

They just have not looked like the same team that Beat Denver. At this point its clear that the better team is leading the series. Either Kat’s shooting is on or its WAY off, when its way off he needs to stop taking shots and just play good Def., get rebounds, and try and get easy point down low. Ant is showing his age and inexperience in Big games a little. Oh well if it ends here its still been a great season. I just don’t see them winning 4 games in a row, but I guess anything is possible.

Your sacrifice will not go unnoticed Netguy!

Can’t imagine the NBA wants 8 days of no games before the finals.

They did put Scott “the extender” Foster and his crew in for tonights game?

I’m thinking there will be a game 7, but I do drink alot.

Somebody has to snap the 0-3 streak of never coming back.

Go Wolves!!!

I never thought the Wolves would have lost 3 straight to the Mavs. Ugh. Game 2 when all we needed was one bucket to ice the game and Ant threw it out of bounds was the killer. It’s frustrating because I think the Wolves are a better team. But Kyrie and Luka started clicking at the right time and they have been on fire.

As said Ant is only 22 and I hope we lock him up for the next decade. But Kat they could send packing, let Naz start.

Is this the guy that calls a ton of fouls? If so this could be bad for the T Pups

So is bring ya ass a thing of the past. Lol

I hope they start Naz but for Rudy not Kat. They played great without him the game in Denver. Feeding Rudy down low aint working but they keep trying.

Depends what you are referring too…
The wife has heard me say it a bunch now since then and pretty sure it’s not going away anytime soon in my household. Can be used in so many instances.

He was in on the game fixing 20 some years ago when Tim Donaghey was found fixing games. Wolves actually have a good record with him calling their games. But yes he has a loose whistle.

Already tried to feed rudy 3 times and amazingly no points or fouls. Why the f can’t our coaches see it don’t work in this series. Fricken stupid

call me crazy but at some point, you just got to stay 5 feet off Luka and not waste your energy guarding him since he doesn’t miss anything anyway. my guess is a lot of Slomo and less of Rudy?

Love the effort tonight. If they lose, they are going out swinging. Somebody is getting tossed if they keep this intensity

And another and of qtr screw up

What the Sam Hill is happening at the end of these quarters lately? They were so good all season and just can’t seem to help themselves doing something stupid in this series. May as well just spot Dallas the points and save the embarrassment. FFS!!

So. Stupid.
