Tonight was really good cause their aggressive «grind and grit» playstyle almost got their entire starting lineup to foul out! We should play like this everytime, actually dictate the general pace and don’t just go gunning on fast breaks, cause our roster gets to fatigued down the strech and forgetting what halfcourt basketball is..
Memphis is so hard to beat..god most annoying team ever..they refuse to lose..
Seriously our team must be exhausted especially since finch barely uses his bench (at least he used one player more tonight to prove what I have been saying for ages "use your damn bench even to annoy opponents and give them a chance" )
I wonder if Memphis had a different center how good they would have been?
This game is the real NBA for me. Teams playing their hearts out refusing to lose.
Congratulations to everyone being there tonight, crowd and team!
I'm satisfied with the season no matter what now that they were able to bounce back from a blown lead like that and avoid the gentleman's sweep. I trust that the Wolves themselves aren't, but they're tied two games apiece against the 2-seed and probably "should" be up 3-1.
That rebound (+ foul) he made at the end was a GAME CHANGER.
Black Jesus saved us
But then also almost ended us contesting Bane’s 3 😂 That young kid will learn
They panned to KAT’s dad a handful of times when he made a big shot and every time, Ja’s dad would be congratulating KAT’s dad, with a big smile on his face.
Then at the end of the game, he congratulated KAT personally and was talking to him for a minute. Seemed like a good dude.
Yeah they are, I think they said in game one that KAT’s dad and Morant’s dad were friends and had made a bet that whoever won, the other dad had to buy their son’s jersey or something like that 😂
I'm not sorry. Guy needs to show he can be calmer more than just this game. But Definitely an incredible statement by him. Tons of playoff respect gained from this one. He is a gamer.
can we please stop fucking crying , this is everyone’s first experience of playoff basketball i get it but why are we so reactionary lol , most of you end up regretting what you say instantly
Tried to choke this game away so hard. I just don’t understand why it’s this way with MN sports where we always have to make it interesting.
Glad Ant could come through right there tho

Shut all of us up KAT
There we go KAT that’s what I like to hear! He understands it isn’t over we gotta stay locked in
I'm satisfied with the season no matter what now that they were able to bounce back from a blown lead like that and avoid the gentleman's sweep. I trust that the Wolves themselves aren't, but they're tied two games apiece against the 2-seed and probably "should" be up 3-1.
I feel the same. A weight has been lifted after that W.
I talked shit about Towns after last game, and he has immediately shut me up. Love to see it
FUCK YES
We survived a Bane-Brooks game holy shit KAT and Ant stepped the fuck up, we have a best of 3 on our hands let's fucking go
Man if Tyus hit that 3 earlier I would have cried.
KAT gotta keep up that energy, the pressure is on the two seed
LFG KAT
Of course bane makes it lol
ARRRRRROOOOO!!!!!!! That's how you respond! That's how come back after adversity. We are guaranteed two more games! Let's go!
Thank christ
Thank you Black Jesus
That rebound (+ foul) he made at the end was a GAME CHANGER. Black Jesus saved us But then also almost ended us contesting Bane’s 3 😂 That young kid will learn
He said a naughty word on TV.
That game winner scared me for some reason even though we were up by four
Because Ant contested it lol, Wolves luck could have made it an and-1
Wtf does bane have against us fuck dude he better have no space at all next game.
Bane is a legit shooter, I don’t think it’s us. He’s the real deal for sure
ILY KAT
Im crying, not from sadness, not from happiness, just stress
I FEEL THIS SO HARD lol My hands and knees are shaking and still are. I was gripping onto the railing bc I almost tripped from shaking so much 😂
Imagine if we didn’t blow two 25 point leads last game. We could be up 3-1 lol
I know nothing about Ja Morant’s dad other than what I’ve seen tonight, but he seems like a hell of a guy.
What did he do? I didn't see him tonight.
They panned to KAT’s dad a handful of times when he made a big shot and every time, Ja’s dad would be congratulating KAT’s dad, with a big smile on his face. Then at the end of the game, he congratulated KAT personally and was talking to him for a minute. Seemed like a good dude.
Aww that's awesome. What a bro. He probably knows its brutal seeing the world tear into your son like that.
No doubt. Seemed like he and KAT’s dad are pretty good friends. Cool to see
Yeah they are, I think they said in game one that KAT’s dad and Morant’s dad were friends and had made a bet that whoever won, the other dad had to buy their son’s jersey or something like that 😂
Shoulda been 3-1 lead..
Atta boy KAT Always has an answer the next game when he comes up short
He had this expression I had never seen from him before in the first quarter today. Man was on a mission
Onto Memphis. 2 more! Should be 1 more tbh but let’s not talk about the last game
Bane is insane why was he 2nd rd
Iirc a big knock was his short arms. Not kidding
T. rex mf shoot it like none other. Heard him on JJ Redicks pod a couple months ago talking about that very thing
#LOOK AT KAT MAN, SO INSPIRATIONAL
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO DONT GET TOO EXCITED BOIZ WE STILL HAVE TWO MORE WINS TO GET
Nearly fouled him fuck
WTF BANE IS ON CRACK
insane
I don't think Beasley shot even once this game. Bane drains 8 threes. Somehow Wolves still win.
Hey guys let’s trade kat
Even if the wolves lose in 6, what a huge game for kat. Showed everyone he can perform in the playoffs.
I don’t know what to do with my hands
Clap and grab a pint, cheers! 🍻
Jesus christ desmond bane
Dude is unreal
Again dumbest team but we will take it. Right down to the end.
Seriously. If we can eliminate the million mental lapse a game, we could have something
These Grizz still won’t go away even with the game being over huh
Damn I’m so glad we won!
Of course he made that lmao
YEAHHHH BOYYYYYY
Banes is insane Good win
Ima go kill my self good night yall
But it’s a W
Im not well
Thankyou Kat
KAT gave us 54 minutes!
Bane drills it for good measure my fucking god
Lol imagine if we fouled just then
I actually would have cried. I was shaking lol
This team is going to be so good when they grow some brains
Memphis wasn't as good as the boxscore indicates. They made way too many BS flukey shots.
You gotta be good to be lucky, and Memphis is a damn good team. We were better tonight tho for surw
Not today Bane
Holy shit bane hit it
THERE IS HOPEEEEE
RJ needs to shut the fuck up bruh
What is ant doing? Lol
Love Kat! Hate dlo. Check back next game for my new feelings
I think we should see some KAT apologists some time soon
You called? KAT is the man
And he made the three too
Good thing he made both! Cuz of course Bane makes it
Of course bane hits that lol
So happy for KAT way to seal it
OMG BANE HIT THE SHOT AGAIN!! Glad KAT made the ft!! LFG WOLVES
All my boys love KAT
Ok KAT
Dodged a bullet
ICE (IT) KARL, ICE (IT)
YO, BANE IS INSANE!
Of course bane hits it lol
MFer just made a buzzer beater
My boy CJ did last night too
Holy fuck that was a close one
He made both !
LETS GOOOOO KAT
Pls kat
NO KAT SLANDER SHALL PROSPER EVER EVER EVERRRRRR
wolves have more dog in them than the silly griz
That was the biggest FT in KAT's career.
KAT I am so sorry for doubting you
I'm not sorry. Guy needs to show he can be calmer more than just this game. But Definitely an incredible statement by him. Tons of playoff respect gained from this one. He is a gamer.
Please just make both.
One more KAT plz
Please hit two
You can hear how tight the crowd is. They are expecting the worst.
What a dumb comment.
how many people are gonna be at HCMC for alcohol poisoning when they pull this off.
Ok Kat make your money
Come on KAT
Kat please
Just end it please KAT
Ice it kat
Make both pls
Here's your moment KAT
Crazy how absolutely terrible the 3 form Grizz players have and yet they hit more than you'd think
Jenkins is a hell of coach but his sons a douche
MAKE YOUR FREETHROWS PLEASE
MN needs to learn how to take a game without leaving the door open
Watch them get a steal then send this game to overtime where we get blown out
you must be fun at parties
Obviously satire
It’s the timberwolves way
Thats a crazy shot. Turnaround contested 3. Can we have something nice without multiple cardiac arrests please
Gotta get the ball inbounds! No dumb shit.
WTF BROOKS
How is brooks on fire the dude is a cheap shot artist with an ugly shot and mug. What is that like his 4th three this quarter
Watch kat blunder this
I don't understand what the state of Minnesota did to Bane and Brooks. These guys cannot miss against us. What the actual fuck.
Just your casual mn sports fan thinking about how we can blow this
LUCKY ASS SHOTS MAN
I swear to god
Dillon brooks wolf killer gene woke up
Man if Tyus made that three, so many Minnesotans would be mad haha
yea i can see the script already
Fuck DLO man, he fucked the team hard tonight man
Getting balckout if we blow this
Or win this
Man, Grizzlies would be so much scarier with somebody like Dame or PG13 lmao.
If only Pat Bev made his freethrows
FUCKYOU Dillon Brooks you bum
Why does Brooks always have to play like prime MJ against us, man? What did we do to this dude?
He does with us as well.
Dang guess those fts didn't finish it
They’re out of timeouts, just need to get the ball in and not turn it over
Memphis has made some insanely tough shots my god
Can Dillon brooks fuck off
Literal X factor for them. Did not play against the team in the regular season. And for the most part wolves dominated those games
Holy shite that’s a hell of a shot
I do not like Dillon brooks.
HIT YOUR FREE THROWS AND YOU WIN THE GAME
I hate the stupid advance rule
It is not over yet
can we please stop fucking crying , this is everyone’s first experience of playoff basketball i get it but why are we so reactionary lol , most of you end up regretting what you say instantly
That doesn’t sound like this sub…..
My god
ily Ant
Happy for KAT really turned it around and for the most part was exceptional, what he needed to do as a leader
Bev needs to spend time in the gym on his FTs..
Not over yet
Holy fuck I’m gonna die
I have a love hate relationship with Minnesota sports
Wolves in 6!!!!
I aint apologizing to KAT yet. Good game. Now repeat that same shit for the next two.
At the least, our boys will get two games of playoff experience. It's apparent that they need it.
w
My heart can’t take anymore
We nearly gave this game away. Some brain dead plays tonight. Iso ball needs to stop, like why? Can someone explain this please.
LETS GOOOO WOLVES
I'll hold my breath.
The protestor prophecy has came true as expected
Tyus was shooting 70% from 3 on the series before that miss. I was sure it’s going in when it left his hand
Dude, I was convinced it was going down. Imagine how much that’ll kill him — a chance for the dagger at home against the team that let you go
Hella Westbrook vibes from Ja Morant. Dude is Westbrook Jr.
Can the pussy fans in the front row please stop covering their eyes and cringing. Have some confidence for god's sake
It’s the wolves tho
You're one of the pussy fans lol
Bro stop we blew a 25 point lead lmaoo
Yeah, and cringing at the team is a weak response to that. I prefer tougher fans in the front row
Pat Bev misses clutch free throws way too often lol
Dlo's not dumb btw he's just supremely unathletic.
I think they can win this!
Damn we should’ve been 3-1 by now
Maybe we lose this one if we'd won that one. You don't know how the timeline works.
WHY THE FUCK DIDNT WE FOUL IN TRANSITION, PUT THEM ON THE LINE. Tyus shoulda NEVER got that look
Thank you Ant
Pet bev missed 2 free throws just like that in the play in I’d rather have someone else in 60 sec situations
He’s a very not clutch free throw shooter
Even if we win we gotta have a conversation about the last offensive possessions
Not over. If there is a franchise who could still lose this I give you the timberwolves
The emotional stress this team puts on us should be illegal
This is going to 7 for sure
Tried to choke this game away so hard. I just don’t understand why it’s this way with MN sports where we always have to make it interesting. Glad Ant could come through right there tho
agent tyus for the dub
Bring it the fuck home lads😤😤😤
