Game 31: Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Los Angeles Lakers

[Nick K]

It was a two on the replay.

[KGdaBom]

Too close to overrule by what I've seen so far. Call should stand.

[shrink]

That is so crazy close to a three pointer!

C’mon McDaniels.

[Nick K]

I'm nervous with a 2 pt lead. 1.4 sec to go.

[shrink]

So the rules-rapist in me wonders..

If you “shoot” the second free throw hard at the nearest opponents feet, wouldn’t that start the clock?

Probably kill 1.4 seconds before they anyone could get possession and call time out?

[KGdaBom]

Missing FTs and getting senseless TOs called against us is NOT taking care of business. Hold on Wolves.

[Nick K]

What a win in a great game !!!!!


AAAAARRRROOOOO!!!!!

I think air balls stop the clock and ball goes to defense. Otherwise you could just pass it to a teammate.

[KGdaBom]

A win is a win is a win is a win is a win.

[Neeva]

Just win,doesn’t have to look nice and peak in May and June when it matters most and please get Jaden to anger management or something.

This is 100% accurate, it is a violation is the free-throw does not hit the rim. If it was not, players would just throw the ball off of the glass, for last minute plays.

[winforlose]

Winning despite MCD and KAT tonight.

Yeah - do you have to touch the backboard or the rim?

I thought the same thing.

[KGdaBom]

I think we are now 7-3 in the tough 16 stretch.

[winforlose]

That win was something else. Jaden’s temper is a real problem. Those refs called such an uneven game. Thank god for Naz because Karl shouldn’t have played. Just glad we won.

[shrink]

So this also mean that if someone, say Rudy, shoots an air ball on a free throw, his teammates aren’t eligible to get the offensive rebound?

[MN7725]

Man those TOs and mental mistakes, good win though

Always a pleasure to see healthy AD operate, I couldn’t believe how well he stayed with ANT on some of those switches

Curious how this laker team will look once they can trade some of their players, think it’s Jan 15

The rim

On the intentional miss I thought it needs to hit the rim. Not sure, but that is my understanding.
