He's been injured. It just didn't stop him from burying the Lakers in late game situations.
May happen again tonight.

As comparison Reggie Miller is one of the greatest shooters of all time and he missed one in free throws. A free throw is when a player is unguarded and has ten seconds to collect themselves. Still one of the best shooters of all time will miss one in ten.

Refs are going to miss calls and when you compare NBA ref to NCAA refs their error rate is a lot lower.

If I run up and push someone to the floor and take the ball, that will be called 100/100 times. If not, then someone is messing up and should be fired. There are some calls that have to be called otherwise you just aren’t watching

The shots have to fall for the Wolves at some point.

that's what the bigwigs want, the next American face of the league. pushing hard on all fronts, Reggie is just a puppet.
with that said, ANT actually is him and he deserves it so..no harm no foul (unlike that ridicilous fraudulent MVP for Joe L the dirty clown)

There's been obvious falls uncalled for Denver too.

You just have to have mental fortitude to play through it.

Embiid spent time flailing on 3pt attempts to bait foul calls and that's part of why he's in Cancun now. 8-)

I will ask again do you have me confused with someone else?

I have no idea why you keep talking about Embiid. Im not a Sixers fan. Embiid is not my favorite player. Im a Hornets fan.

Im legit confused why you keep talking about Embiid. I can care less about Embiid he's no longer playing.


It’s just funny seeing your comments every series against Denver. If Denver were to win, you’ll automatically root for OKC/Dallas in the WCF. If Denver goes to the finals, you’ll automatically root for Boston.

At least you’re consistent I respect it

Even the commentators called this crap out.


Denver paid them refs.


Minnesota has an American superstar in the making who plays a game fans love. While Denver has a foreign star who plays a style fans don't care for. If the NBA was fixing things why would they do so for Denver?

Hate to say it but the refs are bailing out Denver big time. Killed the Wolves momentum. Jokic playing like he got infected from Embiid. Murray got his talent stolen by the aliens again.

I'm fine with letting Ant cook so long as KAT isn't bombing 3s. That's when the TWolves are really dangerous, when KAT hits 3-4 3s in a game on top of Ant attacking.

jokic played one of his worst quarters ever, jamal freaky fridayed with reggie, but the nuggets are up by 4, because wolves simply disappear on offense at times. only ANT showed up. can he really carry these wolves for the whole series?

Murray with 0 points and the Nuggets are still up by 4. It's not looking good for the Wolves.

Dirk has kept himself in shape. It is always interesting to see which athletes keep exercising after they retire and which don't.

That's his game though. He's basically trash, but expect him to turn it up like no other current player in key moments of games. That's why he is far from being an all star, while still being an absolute stud.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Anthony Edwards needs help. Who else is going to step up for the Wolves?

I honestly thought Minny had HC advantage. I had them in 7 before the game started.

Im changing that to Denver in 7 because of HCA.

Now people can stop calling me a Jokic hater. How am I a hater when I been calling him the best player all season. Yall love throwing dirt on my name for laughs. Real ones know Buzzin keeps it 100 at all times. 8-)
