Game 65: Wolves @ Lakers 8:30 CST

[m2002brian]

Lakers are just openly pushing us now. Not even pretending to hide it. WOW these refs are dirty.

I don’t even think it’s about gambling, As Rudy alluded to. I think it’s just petty ass bitches trying to send a message.

What’s the message, don’t bet on the Wolves or we will illegally tamper with your bet? With this much money at stake people should be criminally investigated. Not even joking anymore.

To fix a game it doesn’t have to be as deliberate as it’s been with these past few games.
I think the refs are just fed up with first KAT, then ant and Rudy constantly calling them out.
The wolves (except 2018) have been a lottery team up until the last few years. And as I said earlier, they shouldn’t have to earn the refs respect/whistle, but that is the sad truth of the nba, and they haven’t done anything to “earn” that respect. 3 playoff wins in the last 20 years.

They are just blatantly **** us over a barrel for calling them out publicly. Simple as that.

[winforlose]

You guys might think I am nuts. But given our defensive issues… Why Not Minott?!

Here is zero interior defense. Does Gobert/KA makes that much differences?

You are missing 3 of our 4 primary bigs. That forces mismatches which force doubles. Those doubles create opportunities to further unbalance us. Plus JMAC, Warren, and Garza aren’t exactly defensive masterminds.

[jpatrick]

We’re obviously going to get worn down here and probably lose by double digits. But two things are apparent with our depleted group: JMac can’t get any playoff minutes, teams will just attack him and he doesn’t make up for that on the other end, and McDaniels hasn’t taken any kind of leap on the offensive end. The hope would be he’d get to be at least a #3 scorer on a very good team, but he’s a liability on the end right now.

Our defense sucks without Rudy.. this is getting out of hand, and won't change. This game is over.

[TimberKat]

Ant and JMcD combine for 0-9 from 3s so far and Wolves are down by 4 only. If those two can get it going in the 4th, maybe we can steal one.

It shouldn't have to be a matter of respect. It should be a matter of fairness for all. Why is it so hard to call it the same way for both teams? Why doesn't the NBA demand it? Its a league failure. Where do the owners stand in all this?

Look at major league baseball since the umpire strike years ago with Richie Phillips. Ball and strike calls were outrageously bad. The strike came, they cleaned house, and since then it has vastly improved. MLB is easily the best reffed sport of all.

The NBA needs to revamp their rules to let the guys play. Eliminate all ticky fouls that have no bearing on the play. Especially the imperceptible travel off the dribble. Especially when they allow 3 steps to the basket.
Flow is the great joy in basketball. Swallow the damn whistle.

[winforlose]

Ant is picking a bad game to play this badly.

[Nick K]

It's easy to see how much they miss Kat.

[TimberKat]

OK. Refs are just doing their job and no preference for either team. We are even with the Ts now

[shrink]

Sorry, just turned the game on. Why are Rudy and SloMo out? Will they miss the LAC game?

[TimberKat]

Towns is with the team and walking around??? Did he already had the surgery or still waiting?

[Loaf_of_bread]

Luka we see you

[winforlose]

It's easy to see how much they miss Kat.

And Rudy, and Monte, and Kyle.

[winforlose]

Towns is with the team and walking around??? Did he already had the surgery or still waiting?

They said the surgery will be soon. My guess is waiting on the swelling to go down.

Kyle not so much

But if he’s walking around does the swelling go down?

Kyle not so much

His defense would be nice. Even if his offense puts the ICK, in TOXIC.

[Neeva]

Ant on the bench to start fourth quarters is always a stupid move and Finch never learns!
