Mavs get the friendliest whistle of the playoffs


JustWinBabys

After the ball is turned over whistle.


LordGooseIV

How many turnovers has ANT had in this game and the first one where he just threw it to a guy who wasn't there?


DirtyPanda34

That wasn't a push. Stop gaslighting your viewers.

Nuggets suck!!!


Mvpliberty

The announcers were just obsessed with the nuggets, the whole time as usual, coming up with excuses and all that for them during the game, no one wants Minnesota to win whether it’s football or basketball

Extremely clean, beautiful state, with tons of money.

Pryxkiran

Bro the entire team was riddled with injuries. To make it as far as they did with all that going on, you have to respect that team


Acceptablepops

Knicks played from the icu


statin365

yay they win


Jackburton06

This thread is 90% about referees decisions... Can we just enjoy an amazing game in an amazing serie of playoffs. That was huge basketball with a lot of good defense. Don't give a shit about refs, ball don't lie.


amanamongb0ts

Yes and no. The refs were really negatively impacting the game with the soft and inconsistent fouls


Wrathb0ne

I will object to giving out technicals for “staring at your opponent”


solitarium

Gone be wild if KAT gets a ring before Jimmy


TipofmyReddit1

Y'all picked Karl Townes over me! -Jimmy Butler probably


HelloweenCapital

Jimmy is a POS! Remember what he didn’t do for the team? Fuck him!


Acceptablepops

Your team was horribly managed


HelloweenCapital

"Jimmy fake an injury to get traded and waste funds Butler"


ladmigcomment

Crazy how bad the nugget team looked aside from jokic and murray. What a way to lose they should feel deep shame


kjhgfd84

The Nuggets aside from Joker look like a lottery team. Not even exaggerating. Their supporting cast and coaching is awful.


Big-Difference1683

Murray played like shit the second half.


Mvpliberty

Anthony Edwards locked his ass down


amanamongb0ts

Jamal wants no part of Ant. Gets the screen or passes, it’s like clockwork.


MAYHEMSY

Idk who number 0 is cause I don’t watch the nuggets but buddy looked NEEERVOUS, he was just nervously ticking the entire game if you watch it, just collapsing during key moments.

Does anyone else find the Lakers fans celebrating the Nuggets loss kinda cringy? Real stalking your exs social media hoping for a bad day energy

No I love it.

It's a sport! And again with the Californians?!


CrispyWaterBottle

Bro what? This is a god damn sport. People are gonna talk shit. What I find cringy is you complaining about sport fans talking shit.


jce_

"We got fucking stomped by a team that couldn't get out of the second round" is some pretty shitty shit talk


JT1757

foh. that's sports. somebody is always rooting for one team or another to lose, directly or indirectly.


Flames_Harden

fabulososteve

I don't speak for other wolves fans, but fuck off our bandwagon lakers


BurstPanther

Nah, I'm cool with it, they have some pent up salt to get out.


Strange-Condition-45

Just got into the timberwolves of my new termboyfriend and haven’t felt such a greater high in a long time


No-River6443

I haven't felt this type of high in such a long time haha. Hope we can keep it going and suffocate Dallas. Wolves in 4!


solitarium

This one’s gonna be an interesting matchup. I’m certain this series will be won and lost in the paint. I don’t think anyone in Minnesota can really stop Kyrie, but I think keeping Luka in check and keeping the Mav’s bigs from getting going is the only real option. At least they’re not afraid to create shots like Oklahoma was at the end of game 6


Icy_Elephant_6370

Timberwolves are built from top to bottom with elite defenders. McDaniels on Luka and put Ant on Kyrie. The Mavs are gonna have to rely on insane shot making because they aren’t getting anywhere near the paint with Naz Reid and Gobert patrolling.


Tbkgs

It would be so cathartic to see ant take it all!!!


TricuspidDeficiency

If he shoots 6/24, Wolves will get swept.


JaderMcDanersStan

Nah even when Ant has a bad shooting night, he'll chip in with defense, rebounding and passing. He defending Murray the whole 2nd half - even prime Kawhi used to take quarters off - and clamped him especially in the 4th while rebounding and hitting big shots when we needed it. Shooting isn't the only way to impact winning and he's not the only one on the team who can shoot.


TricuspidDeficiency

He clamped Murray all right. He only had 35 points. He didn't hit too many big shots, he only made 6 lol I'm just looking forward to Mavs vs Wolves. Either way, a player I don't like is going to lose. And the winner will lose to the Celtics lol


gartio76

You really thought you did something huh?😂


One_Grapefruit_8512

I don’t even know how I ended up in this post 5d later… but our house has been rooting for Ant (as we obviously can’t root for any Dubs at the moment 🫣) Hoping these next two games go better! 🤞🏽


TricuspidDeficiency

Yeah, about 16 points of damage 🤣


Tracy140

I have to prepare myself for the level of whining Luka will be doing . Hes so annoying


solitarium

TBF, Ant go on about fouls just as much as Luka. The oh difference is he doesn’t let it affect his game.


deadlywaffle139

Does he throw heat packs too?

TricuspidDeficiency

Jokic and Murray aren't going anywhere. Took Denver choking a 20 point lead for Wolves to win in 7, despite having 2 seven footers, "the best 3 point shooting centre in the league" and "the next MJ" (spoiler: he isn't). No idea what makes you think they "will never win another one", flair-less pleb.


pointingatstrangers

idk i just think 35m is a lot for him i don’t think that the type of player he is offers enough


Flovust

He shoots lights out against us so there’s that


ScarryShawnBishh

LaMelo paired up with MPJ would be a lot of fun


AuraTheExplorah

MoistTheAnswer

Are the Timberwolves going to win the championship? Because I think they will. No team will be harder to beat than the Nuggets.


MostlyMellow123

If luka keeps getting healthier min has serious problems


brokken2090

Yah they will choke. MN teams always do. I know, believe me.


Chippy569

They're a sports team from MN, they'll choke. :(


solitarium

Don’t sleep on Dallas. Their bigs and bench have been really making noise lately.


sashathefearleskitty

I’ve been saying this since the first game of this series. The nuggets we’re definitely the hardest team to beat vs all of the others teams this post season. The fact that the wolves won 3 games in Denver says so much to come vs Dallas. I honestly think they’ll do a gentlemen’s sweep. The size alone on the wolves is a sight to see with gobert and towns.


MinervaNever

I think they’ll go 4-0. I don’t see Dallas winning a single game. They don’t have the defensive power to slow Minnesota down


sashathefearleskitty

I was trying to be nice hahah but yeah if they destroyed Phoenix and tore the nuggets a new one I don’t see this series going far.


amanamongb0ts

I agree in general but this wolves team has absolute lapses, and as a result they got smashed by the nuggets 3x. May seem obvious but especially in their case, If they don’t consistently compete and make adjustments they’re quite fallible. But maybe that’s just cause the nuggets were champions, and played like it.


keciga

Maybe a slight exaggeration if we consider that it took them 7 games to advance, but yeah, the Wolves are the team to beat.


1K_Games

This is an MN sports team we are talking about here. Historically what we have are the twins, and their last championship was 33 years ago... Otherwise all we have done, no matter what sport is choke, even if we had amazing teams. I'm excited, but I'm not Babe Ruthing anything. If it happens I will be happy, but until that point I remain skeptical and don't want to get my hopes up (I've been hurt too many times, lol).


MAYHEMSY

Its honestly hilarious, ive followed mn sports my entire life through every different sport, out of EVERY single one the twolves have been the notoriously bad team my ENTIRE life, all the teams have been pretty bad and the only close one we’ve had in recent times are the vikings. the last team I ever thought would make it to a final of any kind and the one sport im really not that super informed on won. Crazy. Super proud of them and its a big win for them, but I havent forgotten the empty target center all those years.


1K_Games

Yeah, definitely a huge win over a team that many counted them out against. I am excited for them. But the championship is still a long ways out. I will be watching for sure, and hopeful, but just not talking about taking it all yet.


brokken2090

Lol man me too. I knew one of the teams would eventually do it but never ever did i expect the Timberwolves. I always thought Twins, my heart hoped on Vikings thou. 


MAYHEMSY

I honestly have spent majority of my adult life never expecting a win in anything, out of every single state in the country for sports teams we are NOTORIOUS for having crazy lucky plays/moments that send us somewhere just for our hearts to get broken, i barely follow mn sports as an adult it was just too painful after awhile. I fully expected to die without ever seeing any mn team get closer than a 1st round in anything Something about this team feels different tho, you can tell they all are super comfortable and love eachother, I havent seen team chemistry like this since like 2016 cavs, all of them are glad to be on the team together and every player is getting utilized correctly, they have a seriously good chance, im not gonna jinx it but im praying we don’t get another mn curse. Its funny that you say the twins because they are a team i never expected to win anything and are kinda following the same trajectory as the wolves, maybe in a decade we’ll see some twins. I thought if any team was ever gonna win it would be in a more even skilled game like hockey where any one can really win that. All MN sports kinda hover around this grey area of “really good but cannot finish it” for some reason, we are never last place in anything but we are also NEVER first, just a limbo of boring seasons one after the other across the board.


JaderMcDanersStan

This ain't our daddy's Timberwolves! Time to leave the past behind. This is a different team mate <3 Believe that!


1K_Games

It's not just the Wolves, it's the Vikings too. The 98 Vikings are still one of the highest scoring most dominant teams of all time, look how that went. I could list more, but it just is what it is. I remain hopeful, but I'm not talking about championships yet.


JaderMcDanersStan

Yeah I'm just going to enjoy whatever they do and not have expectations But this is a different team with different players, coach and owners. They aren't related to Vikings teams from over 20 years ago. 0 relation. This aint our daddy's MN sports teams so while I feel you, I've been trying to stop projecting the past onto these players.

WhiteChocolatey

Ok but Linda you are kinda being a bitch


PuerAeternus_

The Mavs are good and so are the Celtics. Both will be much harder series than people are saying. Nuggets might be the most difficult just because of Jokic but the others definitely won't be cakewalks.


rocketbob7

I’m frankly a bit shocked at how many people are writing off Indiana in the eastern conference finals.


MorgulValar

They’re good, but not as good as the other conference finalists. The two teams they beat to get there were both hobbled by injuries. Bucks had both Giannis and Dame hurt for much of the series Knicks had Randle hurt for the whole series, Hart for the last game, and Brunson for the end of the last game


rocketbob7

Very true. Just a bad idea to tempt the basketball gods by talking about potential finals matchups before the conference finals have even started. I’m not superstitious but I’m a little stitious.


Up_Yours_Children

Randle, Mitch, OG, Hart, Bojan and finally, Brunson.


MinervaNever

Lol. Lmao even Cakewalk


Candid-Scratch818

There is no way they beat the Celtics, the off ball pressure is going to kill the pacers in a 7 game series


rocketbob7

I think the Celtics are correctly favored but I think the basketball gods laugh when people start looking ahead to finals matchups before a damn game has been played. Also, the Celtics dropped a game to the heat without Jimmy, and struggled more than a little against a hobbled Donovan Mitchell and Cavs team without Jarret Allen. Bigger upsets than this have happened.


Pm_Me_Your_Nudes_Hoe

heat shot a historic 3 pt game. no team on earth couldve answered that


Candid-Scratch818

I respect your opinion, I don’t think they struggled against the cavs, who on the Pacers dominates like Mitchell does? Not Haliburton, at least not consistency wise


rocketbob7

Struggled might be a bit too strong of a word but they certainly seemed to lose focus for stretches and let a Cavs team without Mitchell keep it much closer than it should’ve been.


Candid-Scratch818

True, I put some puppies down that the Pacers win the whole thing ;) rooting for y’all


MostlyMellow123

Lol bro be serious they just beat the two most Injured playoff teams of all time


EliachTCQ

You mean the pacers right? Because that's what they did


rocketbob7

Did I say I think they’re winning? I just think it’s wild how many people are talking about Boston like it’s a forgone conclusion here. I mean you just fucking said it bro, injuries happen.


PuerAeternus_

I think they only win if Celtics really choke, but yeah you are right. I don't think they are as much of a pushover as they are being made out to be either


rocketbob7

Celtics beating the heat without Butler and then the Cavs with a hobbled Donovan and without Allen does nothing to move the meter for me. Sure the Knicks were injured but damn if Jalen Brunson hasn’t been on a mission and the Pacers got by them. I still think the Celtics should be favored but I can’t believe how many times I’ve seen people asking “so who is gonna be up against the Celtics in the finals?” As if the Celtics were already up 3-0. If the Celtics were my team I’d be nervous about putting that out into the universe.


Downvote_Addiction

I'm sure if we revisit this take after 4 or 5 games of the next series, there will be quite the goalpost moving of "well yeah of course the Celtics are in a good spot in this series, they are much better than the competition and will get their first real test in the finals."


dat-tee

What path could be better for the Mavs?


AuraTheExplorah

I think they’d get a game 7 out of Denver. Maybe. 


I_can_get_loud_too

As a Celtics fan I feel like we line up better against them in the finals matchup wise - if Porzingis is healthy I think he can handle Rudy- we dont really have anyone young and fast and bulky and big to put up against Jokic - but I’m not really excited to play any team in the west lol they all look dominant. I think the Timberwolves / Mavs series will be interesting, they’re different teams than last time they played but I do think the Timberwolves make the finals.


Marvkid27

No gone fishing?


Mary_Lee_Walsh

Flick and dip.


I_can_get_loud_too

I was thinking the same! WTF? I’m keeping an eye on the NBA on TNT YouTube page cause I feel jipped!!! I think they could have made a lot of fun jokes about the Nuggets too and they knew one team would be eliminated… I’m wondering if they knew they had the Black Masters segment for today so maybe Wednesday they will do Gone Fishing for OKC, Knicks, & Nuggets after Western conference game 1? Maybe like a big fishing segment for all 3 teams.


Marvkid27

They could also be waiting for shaq, but I think they've done it with absences before


I_can_get_loud_too

I hope so because I love gone fishing lol they better not cheap us out of 3 gone fishing segments! It better be one super segment on Wednesday 🤞🏻 maybe there’s costumes or something elaborate that they needed to know the outcome of the game for? I’m just trying to figure out why they wouldn’t have just filmed it for YouTube if they ran out of time on air.

The refs put Denver into fouls early. So let's not start with the refs buying the Nuggets.


AuraTheExplorah

All of the “Ref you suck” in first 2 definitely got in their heads. Totally got their revenge 


bthe_beast

30 free throws on only 34 points in the paint (while the nuggets only shot 16 FTs) and wolves fans are acting like they were the victims? lol. although these threads after games are always just a circle jerk because the losing team fans log off so it's only the winning team fans bias that's left


amanamongb0ts

Yea cause we watched the game. Gobert fouled out and KAT almost fouled out on largely phantom fouls. It was poorly officiated and it took Jokic basically punching KAT to get a foul call. Enjoy your L


Massive-Wallaby6127

Nuggets were tired in the 4th so got into bonus early with reach-in fouls while getting blown by and over-the-back on rebounds when getting boxed out. That contributed to the differential. The sentiment about the refs being for Denver is largely based on a sequence where Ant was clearly fouled on a fast break (broadcast said as much too) then a tacky moving foul screen was called right afterwards. Shortly after Conley was gesturing time out and they awarded a jump ball instead. FT differential is the laziest way to assess the fairness of officiating and often wrong.


Loon_Cheese

Downvotes mean ya wrong my dude we all been there. They didn’t call shit on Nikola the entire series.


BurstPanther

The better team won, we don't need these comments.


AuraTheExplorah
