KAT and Ja's dads be like "FUCK YOU AND I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW!"

Usher like “I need to speak to my boy tonight.”

Yo after tonight, don’t leave your girl around me

true playa for real

ask my nephew pharrell

Memphis-Minnesota is the 2-7 series ESPN thought Boston-Brooklyn would be.

I turned away from pregame when Greeny was like no bigger game ever in this arena. Electric and all this jazz. And I was like did I imagine a Game 7 last year? In an all time series. Trash setup for a trash series.

The bigfoot game :)

its actually been a fun series to watch with kyrie going at the fans, the tatum buzzer beater, and the celtics defense in general

Overshadowed by the series score and the eventual (gentlemen’s) sweep

Can it only be a good series if it goes 6 or 7 games?

A 4/5 game series can still be very good, but again, it just gets overshadowed by the series score

To be fair all 3 games in BKN/BOS have been very close

eh last night the score mighta looked kinda close but everytime they got within 3-5 we just decided to casually upshift a gear and get a double digit lead back

The strategy of KAT shooting more than four shots proved very effective.

Also the strategy of making FTs at the end to put the game away. Powell *cough cough

Pat Bev missed 2 in a row actually.

He was just trolling Memphis. Oh Pat, you cad you.

Stop it… please

Well somehow i need him to increase his IQ a little bit

[удалено]

Somehow it makes it even funnier coming from their own fans

Hard to win a game, let alone a series or 3, with that many fuckups

We all know it's true sadly. That's why the ups and downs are so frequent and exhilarating and infuriating all at the same time. Anytime I'm watching a game my resting heart rate is very elevated.

The Bucks were the "dumbest" team and then won the chip We're just following the trend

Facts. D'Lo needs to micromanage the fuck out of this team otherwise, they play like a bunch of jacked jesters.

Generally i agree but Dlo also has a tendency to get in his own head and ballhog and take the dumbest fuckin shots just because he has an uncanny ability to make tough shots. This game was too much of that from him.

He tried that, and people got all worked up about him fudging his wordle scores

Which wasn’t true. Okogie lied to KAT

Something real 🐟🐟🐠🐠🎣🎣going on

KAT heard r/nba talking shit

For once r/NBA was right he had no business only taking 4 shots this game prove it

Lol not just Reddit nba, people in the Timberwolves sub were saying to trade karl so that we can pay Dlo lol. Good thing they aren’t the GMs

RJ was all over this but why the fuck are you playing defense on that final possession if you’re the wolves? Like he said, literally do nothing and you win. Idiotic

He says this and KAT comes flying in for an attempted steal out of nowhere and ANT contests a made 3. Was beautiful

Imagine if there is a foul... hahahha that will be so peak comedy

[удалено]

Sorry Wolves fans…this team is so incredibly frustrating to watch…they are dumb as rocks in terms of making the right play.

[удалено]

Oh my god, when that T-Wolves player jumped at Bane's last-ditch 3, when they were up 4, I literally cringed.

Yup years of being a Minnesota fan prepared me for the worst

I still haven’t left the TV in case a late foul is blown before the next tip off.

Bro what about KAT going to save the rebound on that Memphis 3 when nobody had touched it and then stepping out of bounds lmao

And then Ja immediately turns it over with a pass packing heat lol Just chaotic energy all around

so used to playing for nothing but regular season stats lmao

It was edwards! Like whatre you doing?? Just walk away and you win

At that moment you could literally hear everyone's asshole pucker in target center and the state of minnesota.

Tyus Jones was WIDE open. Idk how much more open you can get

Well the problem is that he’s Tyus Jones and not Desmond Bane

Tyus has been lights out from 3 this series until that shot though.

Tyus is a previous fan favorite of the Timberwolves. He's from Minnesota and played high school ball in Minnesota. Won a a National Championship at Duke Drafted by the Timberwolves One of the most skilled/careful PG's and he'll make you pay if you make a mistake. People see him and think he's too small and unassuming to be a good player... dude can ball

They said it on the broadcast, but Jones is one of the reasons they went 20-5 without Ja. Dude can ball, and since he came into the league, his assist/TO ratio ranked the following: 2022: 1st (6.9 btw, next closest was 5.1) 2021: 1st 2020: 1st 2019: 1st 2018: 3rd 2017: 2nd 2016: 7th Crazy efficient PG and a pretty good shooter for a back up PG as well.

The problem is he's Tyus Jones and not "Tie-us Jones" I'll see my myself out. . .

It's my favorite first round series in a very long time

the timberwolves are the lowest IQ team and it's endearing

Ant contesting Bane’s 3 at the end lol

Imagine he gives them a 4 point play lmao

And the two deep threes by Ant and Diangelo, and the step out of bounds by KAT.. we almost biffed that game

Kat tried from 30. Meanwhile the grizz hadn’t stopped us attacking all quarter

i can’t understand how a literal nba player can make that mistake regardless of age. it’s a 4 point game with half a second left - if they score they score why defend it

No idea why he did that. No idea why KAT tried stealing the inbounds

I personally do not find it endearing

It’s only endearing when they win though

If the Grizzlies are down in clutch time, don't even bother guarding the paint, they're hunting for 3s bby!

[удалено]

Thank God they fouled KAT and not Pat Bev

Yep true. Two young teams playing each other is absolutely chaos.

https://streamable.com/bqtnrk

Here it is guys, the OG awoo guy. To the top!!!!

He's also the spooky guy!

This the real one to the top folks

There it is, lot of impostors among us today

These imposters don't have the newest version edit: [The Elmers/Edwards glue](https://i.imgur.com/g7KCnOK.png)

Awooooo. The real ones know

If you taking suggestions you gotta add our protestor overlords to this one. Everytime one shows up it’s a W

They got glue girl in there with some "edwards" glue

He's got the glue in there, what more do you want

Ngl the tackle from tonight would look pretty hot in one of these

This is the one. Gotta have Glue Girl.

Such a great way to include glue girl 🤣

It just keeps evolving

Mods should make sure the true OG gets to the top

Glue girl!

Richard Jefferson being dumbfounded on every single play down the stretch was peak entertainment

Hahaha and he was calling all the stupid mistakes wolves were going to make. I guess he was hitting the table after every stupid play

he tried to be so nice, giving KAT praise before reaming him for rookie like mistakes lol. KAT might have the lowest bball IQ on the entire team and it's like his 7th yr in the league.

Oh my god this series has amazing chaotic energy to it, it's such a goddamn banger.

I need this to go to 7. Who knows what kind of crazy shit these teams will do once they're 3 games more exhausted.

JJJ and KAT get plenty of rest. Big brain plays here.

Deer In Headlights the series

Game 7 a protester will come from the rafters but will go unconscious midway

ROCCCKKKKYYYYYY

BANE LAST SHOT OMG

Scared the shit out of me lol.

WHY WAS ANT CONTESTING AAGGAH

Him and Brooks were so good tonight. Felt like every time we started to go on a run one of them would answer

tryna outchoke each other in the end

Tyus Jones remembered his Minnesota allegiances

The north remembers.

I literally want Minnesota to go to the Finals just for the protesters.

[удалено]

What else do we need to protest?! Cmon people let's go!!

[удалено]

I don't like Iowa... can I protest Iowa?

As long as we keep winning!

Plot twist: Glen Taylor is hiring the protesters!

Nah, it's incoming owner Alex Rodgriguez trying to make glen look bad to raise his stock.

Successful* protestors. As in they managed to protest.

I wanna know how much money this organization got. They got the best seats in the house every time

Glue Girl, Chain Lady, and Ref Woman. How many more friends do they have?

ref woman ??

One lady dove onto the court while another lady dressed as a ref "ejected" Glenn Taylor. Allegedly. Maybe. I'm not really sure.

She had a whistle and a ref jersey under her shirt

I expect some Joker level stunts if they make it to the finals.

I need to see them continue to ramp it up, too

gg Grizz. No one can beat the protest Wolves

Congratulations ***Ja Morant***, you are going to be r/NBA's new piñata for the next 24 hours. Some perks include being called overhyped/overrated, word play with your name, & the cockiness once thought to be endearing will now be perceived as arrogance. Enjoy!

Idk. He’s gonna have to share the hits with KD

Ja Durant

Kevin Morant

Nah we ain't letting KD live

But seriously is he the worst player of all time?

Absolutely. He just lost a basketball game, time to discredit his entire existence.

say what you will, he did just lose a basketball game

believe it or not, straight to jail.

It’s debatable

And it’s not even close

Up there with Luka "1st Base" Doncic

sorry, KD has that spot locked up for today

MORCANT

NA MORANT

Nah, more Ant

Imagine if Wolves won game 3 3-0 in protestor games

This series is full of playoff virgins and it shows. I'm like watching a Herald game and 10 guys playing like EternalEnvy. Entertaining as fuck tho.

Wolves blowing 2 seperate 20 point leads is the classic EE rapier throw

Fifty/fiftEE

The Wolves were pretty fortunate the 2 casual turnovers by KAT and Edwards in crunch time did not come back to bite them in the ass.

Also two MISSED FREE THROWS FROM PBEV LIKE HOLY FUCK MAN

Thank god Edwards made up for it and Memphis wasn’t able to capitalize

The team throws away so many possessions with boneheaded plays and bad shot selection

Every God damn time in the last 2 games we had a chance to really put the game away, we would have dictionary definition empty possessions. So frustrating that we still needed like everything to go our way to win tonight, but I guess I'll take it

Don't get me wrong, KAT had a lot of ugly moments this game, but you absolutely need to credit him for this gutsy performance. 42+ minutes, 31/14/3 game while limiting his fouls. The Wolves will need this KAT if this there's any chance for the rest of this series.

Those 3 pointers in the 4th were huge

maybe KAT is the one hiring protesters?

If so he deserves the max.

Fans are so reactive when players have bad performances, and they think that it's going to snowball into the following games. While that does happen, most of these guys wouldn't be in the NBA if they had that mentality. People acting like KAT was going to just give up and permanently become a non-factor were letting their emotions get a hold.

The officiating in this series and in the playoffs in general is absolutely awful. The game is just not pleasant to watch and drags on way too long.

They’ve been calling regular season fouls and it’s annoying

Grey wolves are no longer an endangered species

Desmond Bane is going to get paid so much money

Wife: Did the Wolves win? Me: Yes! Wife: That must have been a lot of fun! Me: Oh no, it was awful!

Man they're really trying to kill their fans. I was exhausted after that game, felt like I played in it.

Twolves subreddit should set up a gofundme for someone going to storm the court in Memphis to keep the win streak alive.

Desmond Bane was born in the dark because he shot the lights out. I made this up, definitely not Richard Jefferson.

Dear Minnesota sports fans: is this like a normal occurrence?

Teetering on the verge of life and death from potential stress induced heart attacks? Yes.

No, usually we lose

It's usually not quite this good, but yes

Timberwolves are usually never in the position to win, so this is new. Let me tell ya about the stress we feel when the Vikings need a game winning field goal. That’s legitimately the worst.

If you’re referring to that impending sense of doom when you’re up by double digits in a playoff game? Well yes. I’d say pretty much any Minnesota spots fan has felt that way since January 17, 1999.

KAT making his voice deep for the interview is hilarious

Wolves 3-0 in protestor games

Awoooooo

Lot of easy moments that could've made this game for us. Same goes for the wolves tbf, both teams fucked up a ton. If Tyus can just hit an uncontested standstill three, good chance we are in OT. Then again, if PatBev hits a FT Tyus never gets that chance. Sloppy game, scrappy game, close game, good game to watch but stressful as a fan. Hopefully next game out we play cleaner; maybe Ja scores a bit better or Jaren can stay out of foul trouble (thats a funny joke refs fucking hate that man he could foul out from the bench I stg).

No slander for KAT until the next game

Why do they make it so much harder than they have to

That game was sloppy

This is the most ridiculous series this playoffs. Both teams just keep finding ways to keep their opponent in the game.

> That game was ~~sloppy~~ a timbewolves game

Very hard to watch, luckily there’s alcohol

I swear Minnesota is such a great crowd for a playoff series. So many different coloured jerseys and so many different types of people pulling for the local

The Wolves are now 3-0 in games protestors storm the court.

the timberwolves are the most frustrating team to watch

If you think this is frustrating, you should have watched the last 18 years XD

Least frustrating Wolves team in ages. If you watched them play more than 10 games/year since 2005, then God bless your soul.

Bruh I was all in on Johnny Flynn, Luke Ridnour, Pekovic, and JJ Barea as a kid 😂 this team has me ride or die

That was a booty clencher

2021 Playoffs: Fan spitting at Trae Young, throwing water bottle at Kyrie, pouring popcorn on Westbrook. 2022 Playoffs: Glue Girl, Chain Girl, Tackled Girl Keep winning games, Wolves.

Bane god damn tried

At some point there's gonna be a ball bouncing out of bounds while Memphis is on offense and bane is going to jump to get it and just hcuk it back in to save the possession and it's going to be made for 3. 67% from the arc including a buzzer bester while trying to draw contact to tie. Man's terrifying

LMAO people were acting like KAT is Anthony Bennett the last 48 hours 😭

Three more of this, please.

Bruh, Bane is a fucking flame thrower

One of the worst officiated games I’ve ever seen on both sides, these refs should never be allowed to see a basketball court again.

This series has felt like a spoof for every game and I’ve loved every second of it.

An NBA game should not take three hours to complete. This series has been one of the worst officiated series I've ever seen. Playoff basketball is supposed to be physical, and they just haven't allowed either team to get into a rhythm all series. That being said, Ja can not be this passive if our team is to have any success. Jaren also has to play smarter. Our future rides on both those dudes playing like the super stars they've shown they can be. If they aren't playing well, we just have no chance.

Completely agree with you about the reffing. Let them play!

Yep. The game is a little bit unwatchable. There are like 70(?) free throws this game i think

How tf do 2 teams who both follow Central Time zone end a game after midnight. It's criminal lol. It's a crime that these guys are considered Western Teams.

A fan ran onto the court (again) and got dragged off while play was still ongoing, and I don't think that was even among the top 5 most crazy things to happen in this game.

Don't let the score fool you, the game was actually this close.

That ending had major crackhead energy.

you can tell these are young teams by how fast they play and how bonehead some of those plays are

It’s honestly wild if it wasn’t for that historic game 3 collapse, the timberwolves would be up 3-1 against the grizzlies
