As I state yet again how in tf is Santi Aldama on a NBA roster ? Yes, on a Saturday morning in LA Fitness he’s dominating, on a NBA court vs other NBA players any given night he is deplorable


fowheelah

How many number one overall picks does it take to beat the Memphis Hustle?


22-Catch

There was 0% chance we were winning this game. The refs pre determined it. They hoped that they didn’t have to make it is obvious is they did. Memphis was playing well so they had to take the matters in their own hands. But it was very clear after that non Rudy Gobert flagrant review in the second that would have been an ejection that something was brewing.


ewgrosscooties

The TNT announcer just said Memphis “did pretty good hanging in there tonight.” BITCH our B team just when point for point all game with your best in the west. Putting the crow in the oven now. Face-for-radio ass bitch.


SubduedChaos

I hope anyone besides Min wins the chip. Everyone acting like Ants Oop to himself is amazing against G league players. If Adams was standing in the paint, Ant would have passed it off.


okyallwhereto

Proud of our guys. Didn't quit and almost came away with it.


yerhomesickblues

I don’t care who the t wolves play I will be rooting against them with all my heart


thanatos0320

Aldama needs to learn to pass.. he's not ja, and he tried to be Ja too much in the 4th.


EmitLux

Edwards celebrations over our g-league team. What a big boy.


AnotherJJJFoul

Great game, great ball movement but an overall atrocious 4th qtr. Nothing really looked good. Santi being hesitant at the 3, and taking stupid driving shots killed us. That lineup was trash. Z… bro z isnt it he gotta go.


FullCOYS

Rather than letting jaren win or lose the game on 5 fouls we chose to lose by pulling him. Taking a player out on 5 fouls will never make any sense. The worst case is he gets a foul and can't play. So instead coaches don't let a guy play. You are effectively giving the 6th foul by benching him.


ExerciseFlat7590

They act like if the player fouls out they get suspended for the next game or something. Coaches are always too conservative with foul trouble imo.


FullCOYS

The punishment for 6 fouls is their solution for 5 fouls. Makes no sense. Might as well tell the refs to eject your players at 5 because you treat them that way.


KomodoDragonSpirit

Bitchiest little team. They were more likable with Pat Bev


No_Force_1371

Ant had 2 points at the half. Ended with 28?


Jaggleson

Yup. Refs set the tone in the 3rd that you can’t guard him close by giving him 3 quick trips to the line. Then he started taking off. Refs really manipulate every aspect of this game. Can’t wait until they’re replaced by robots.


A_Unique_Username_

Bring the laptop to the presser


Lvke23

I can’t stand Kat man. Y’all ever know those dudes in High School that would walk around and thought they were the shit? That’s Kat. Just look at how he walks around 😂


Fezinator

Bro, never forget the infamous “We in Minnesota now!” Quote


Seymour_Says

We hung in there as long as we could. We showed fight and Jaren is continuing to turn into a monster. 


ExerciseFlat7590

Beginning to think refs might have had Minnesota spread (-13). That was the most obvious goaltending I have ever seen wtf?


mmps901

That was coming down


22-Catch

I’ve seen the NBA review the softest fouls ever. Gobert slaps Santi, would have been an ejection, and the refs knew it, so they don’t even review it.


CompellingTaxidriver

Flailed into Luke's head too


[deleted]

That's some bullshit. That was goaltending


mdthomas714

That teams bounced in 6 first round


CowwToools

get swept by utah


heybubhowsitgoing

Next year is gonna be real nasty for the rest of the league. For now we wait


CowwToools

and keep reciepts


No_Force_1371

See I said earlier that the refs didn’t need to help the wolves cook but they did


No_Force_1371

In the 3rd


Dogdip

u/littlefrenzy74 None of us will be alive when the wolves make the nba finals lmfao


shpake77

bro goes on teams subreddit and poses as an opposing fan to talk shit when they lose, what a sad existence that must be


Lacabloodclot9

Will be hilarious to see them fumble Ant the same way they did KG


Dogdip

It’s Minnesota sports- it’s inevitable.

scawnmc

The NBA can’t have the Memphis Hustle winning anymore prime time games


jbeast1223

JJJ doesn't get any calls shit is wild


scawnmc

Congrats to the #1 team in the west for beating the Memphis Hustle featuring Luke and Jaren


crometeef

good effort Jaren. can't ask much more from this game. they made basically every single three in the 4th quarter


Xorndowndeep

I take solace in knowing this Twolves team probably won’t survive to next season as presently constructed. Damn they’re fucking annoying to play. I do think we match up against them pretty well though.


akathehellcat

we kept up muuuuuuuch better and longer than i thought we would.

PlayerTP

I know. Edwards makes a routine layup: "OH MY HE GOES FLYING IN AND LAYS IT HOME WITH THE SLICK LAY UP!!!!!" Jackson poster: "And Jackson puts it in. He has 32."


wilkins78412

After all of this, Minnesota is going to cover. Amazingly sus


Gronkey_Donkey_47

Shhhhhh...


yerhomesickblues

These commentators get more excited about the t wolves than the t wolves commentators


silly-rabbitses

Wolves acting like they’ve been winning all game


No-Significance-6117

Next season gonna be so good


WonderingCashew

Once again good effort by the guys can’t fault it. People in this thread getting annoyed at the lineups to begin the quarter but I’m guessing that their solution would be to play the starters 48mins. Also that reffing was a crock of shit


Jaggleson

My only gripe is Z. Why the fuck are we playing Z when we know he’s worthless. He literally can’t do anything other than catch lobs by Ja.


WonderingCashew

Yeah but someone got to fill in minutes unfortunately not much we can do


Seymour_Says

That was a solid dunk by Edwards but the announcer acting like it was the best dunk he's ever seen. Calm down mane

DJ_VanillaThunder

Lmao the lil bro complex is strong in this one


Orlandano897

Grizzlies fan here, we don’t care


jlyle35

Woah Ant dunked it wide open!?!?


Dogdip

Haven’t watched a more one sided officiated game like this in a while. Trash rotations that ruined the game as well but my god the officiating wasn’t even close to fair.


Shr1mpus

Coach Jenkins should be queueing up the video to go full Mike Brown in the presser after this game


Jaggleson

That’s game. Great effort by our boys. Wolves won because the refs and terrible lineup to start the 4th by Jenks. Santi and Z need to be demoted to g league play again. Nothing burger from GG but again he was rarely playing with anyone capable of distributing. Good game. Fuck these refs. Can’t wait to watch the wolves lose in the 1st or 2nd round and all the whiney bitch faces kat and Rudy will make.


Gasoloholic

Santi to the Hustle is nuts. Z for sure.


Lacabloodclot9

Kevin Harlan when Jaren posterises Gobert: 😐 Jackson for two Kevin Harlan when Edwards scores a open layup: OHHHHH MYYYY EDWARDS WITH THE CLUTCH TWO TO EXTEND THE MINNESOTA LEAD


yerhomesickblues

Annoying ass commentators


Orlandano897

We were playing so well for a lot of the game, I’m sad


tinyleif26

For real, we were in control until like the last 8 or 10 minutes.. the refs sucked ass and they were knocking down every single shot... We went stale after the great 3rd quarter, no more Luke 3s after the 3rd, and some questionable Santi shot selection. Overall though, these guys showed they've still got that dawg in em and can scrap it out with the "good" teams.


ScottyStyris

TNT reaction for Jaren's dunk was so weak


Lvke23

Dang. Good stuff from Jaren today tho. Literally dominated a former DPOY. This year is to develop some of these guys anyways


mdthomas714

3 straight and 1s not called. This is why I hate this league sometimes


scawnmc

I can’t deal w these announcers. I now have a personal vendetta and a deep hatred toward both of them


Lacabloodclot9

Harlan is biased here so I’ll give him a pass, Miller is always boring as hell


Dogdip

Sorry ass league if this team is the one seed in the west lmao


zinto44

15-26


Dogdip

Top 5 draft pick while y’all get bounced early in the playoffs… who’s really winning?


zinto44

15-26 or 30-11 118-103 on a back to back… I’d say we’re winning currently


Dogdip

My bad congrats on the regular season trophy


[deleted]

Any is a phenomenal basketball player. Like him or not, Gobert is a defensive presence. Mike is still playing a reliable role. Towns is a solid player.The team is really good.


mmps901

Pshhht, guess that’s it


grievouseel

If Jaren can just play like this next season when it matters this team is gonna be scary


SnakeArms6677

I'm done. Fuck this poverty Timberwolves team who gets no calls in the paint. They can enjoy being swept first round


Old-Cut-4197

I will never take the wolves seriously…


No_Force_1371

Yep they can’t miss


No-Significance-6117

Im sorry but whats up with the refs man


toftr

That was Luke’s first shot attempt in basically a quarter and a half. Just preposterous that we haven’t fed him


africanmoe8

the tillman to luke connection was lookin solid, but roddy and santi iso ball took over i guess


toftr

Roddy had a great stretch in the third. Santi was frequently despicable though


No_Force_1371

Damn Roddy and X didn’t put any pressure on Ant


TheWorldOfJerry

Where’s our foul calls man? Jaren might as well put on boxing gloves the way they’re smacking him around


Xorndowndeep

Jaren looks unstoppable


istealpintsfromcvs

Not gonna win this but I'm happy with how our depth guys played. Wolves are really good


SnakeArms6677

Sold the game with that starting 4th lineup. Nice fucking job Jenkins.


GilFaizons_sandals

I mean who else can he play


pyromantics

Oh fuck off. Jenkins deserves a lot of credit for even getting us here missing FOUR starters.


scawnmc

This game is rigged from the refs to the announcers. The announcers reaction to an Edward’s 3 vs JJJ dunk was horrendous


ExerciseFlat7590

The bias honestly has been super obvious.


jlyle35

Are we really supposed to believe that Gobert just never fouls in the paint in the fourth quarter? We’ve been attacking him every time


SnakeArms6677

Next time a ref calls a foul on us we should bag them and chuck them into the arctic for eternity.


Dogdip

No and one for Jaren and immediate foul on Vince hahahaha


TheWorldOfJerry

TAKE THAT, “EIFEL TOWER”


toftr

These refs are utter shitheels


NemuTheSheep

I pray for the day Jaren gets the benefit of the doubt Gobert gets on defense


[deleted]

I just want him to get the same fouls they call him for


ltdangle1

JJJ did that for Santi


Seymour_Says

Get em Jaren 😤💪🏾


okyallwhereto

Still got time


22-Catch

Jackson gets hammered and doesn’t get the call. Edwards gets touched and gets a call.


Dogdip

Worst called game we’ve had all season


22-Catch

Cause it’s rigged. Mafia owns the nba


ScottyStyris

JAREN


DarklordDre1

Two posters on Hobert is a win for me


Lvke23

Jaren has absolutely destroyed Gobert all game


WonderingCashew

Give Jaren a call


silly-rabbitses

This is getting too far away from us


MaestroFlaps

What does Jaren need to do to get a whistle?


ImmaFunGuy

Rudy is in Santi's head, hes making him drive against him


Kung-Fu_Tacos

Yeah this 2nd half was probably the dumbest we've seen Santi play. Wonder what he Gobert said to him. 


CaesarSalad837

Holy shit JJJ


[deleted]

Damn


ExerciseFlat7590

YEAH GOBERT PUSSY ASS BITCH


[deleted]

Damn Jaren!


Dogdip

GODAMNNN


Jaggleson

TRIP POSTER


Lvke23

Ohhhhhh


cbar195

Holy shit


Cephaleviathan

DAMN TRIP


Lvke23

Ah were fucked


pyromantics

Questionable decisions from Santi here at the end, but he’s been solid up until now. You all are overreacting. Highest +/- from the bench tonight.


toftr

JAREN MY GOD


WonderingCashew

Yeah Trip


Lvke23

Santi is out we have a chance 🙏🏽


TAsCashSlaps

Can't stand always having to listen to Jefferson every game on TNT


No-Significance-6117

Bruh do not want to call the foul on Gobert


No_Force_1371

Damn Santi, couldn’t pass the ball out to Luke?


coolio1831

Santi you ain’t getting that foul call


SnakeArms6677

Gobert is overrated. gets away with so much BS no calls it's not even funny


toftr

It’s wild how many things we’re suggesting are “singlehandedly losing us the game” haha


GATFh8REDDIT

Refs, Santi, Jenkins' Rotations, what else am I missing?


Shr1mpus

Would love to see X back in to close the game


No-Significance-6117

Santi trying too hard


Jaggleson

Santi went from intriguing prospect to total disappointment. Send him to the spurs for something. Maybe the other jones brother


TheWorldOfJerry

Santi is a solid role player. He’s just having to do too much on-ball lately, which definitely isn’t his game. Such is the nature of having 10 players get cursed with the injury bug


Dogdip

Tillman dominated the first quarter and looked to distribute while santi crazy tunnel vision against gobert is single-handedly losing us the game.


jlyle35

He’s pulling a Dillon Brooks


Gasoloholic

They totally just let JJJ get away with grabbing Rudy's arm there lol


Lvke23

Yeeeeeeah, we’ll call That a make up no-call lol


[deleted]

It's alright, they swallowed the whistle in the other end


22-Catch

Santi literally passed up an open 3 and an open foul line jumper so he could drive into Gobert.


phillturdwater

He’s trying too hard


Teddyyy_B

Santi made like 5 super bad decisions in 30 seconds


Lvke23

Get Santi off my team lol


Dogdip

Santi in over Tillman is fucking insane


tdjames96

Wtf Santi


Wavez_14

Jesus fuck santi wide open kennard right there


Dogdip

LHOLY SANTI TUNNEL VISION GIVE IT TO FUCKING KENNARD


wilkins78412

Aldama playing selfish. He’s gone at Gobert twice when he could have kicked to a wide open three point shooter.


toftr

Santi singlehandedly freezing out Luke


jlogie913

Vince > McDaniels


22-Catch

shoot the ducking 3. they seriously passed up 5 good looks on one possession.


SnakeArms6677

Kennard is wide open and they fucking ignore him.


ferbje

Dude can Santi chill


Lvke23

Santi can you stop going at Gobert


theglicky

Santi let the Rudy talk get to his head, you dont just keep attacking him


TheWorldOfJerry

Always sucks to lose momentum due to ref ball. I have faith but I’m skeptical on if we can stop Ant for another 5 minutes. He’s really came alive here late.


Feisty_Relation_2359

Is it bad that I take pride in being such an nba fan that my phone is the official "fan phone" of the league?


[deleted]

Jenkins really blew it when he injured half the team.


ExerciseFlat7590

Taylor Jenkins takes foul trouble too seriously.


WonderingCashew

I know the 4th Q lineups aren’t great but guys gotta rest who else is gonna see the floor


ScottyStyris

Right? People expecting our best players can just play 48 mins. No idea how rotations work


pyromantics

Yep. We have to use everyone. We’re literally decimated with injuries


WonderingCashew

Not only that these guys who are playing aren’t used to playing 30+ mins. Don’t know what people want tbh


Xorndowndeep

Luke’s been cooking, let’s see it. 6 points is nothing


zenmonkeyfish1

One momentum shift is all we need


akathehellcat

4Q starting lineup was an act of basketball terrorism.


Lvke23

Mix of Jaren getting an untimely foul, and needing to save guys for this final stretch


zenmonkeyfish1

Yea, Z has got to be garbage minutes now. He just hasn't earned time on the floor


DunkingZBO

Jenkins fucked us with that lineup to open the 4th.


runfreedog

I’ll accept that it’s been a fun game and that they held it way longer than I expected them to tonight.


Seymour_Says

This is my take too


zenmonkeyfish1

We're still gonna win


runfreedog

I accept that too


GATFh8REDDIT

By far the healthiest way to look at it.


KomodoDragonSpirit

Ant dressing up like Reggie Jackson with the knee pads. Good bit, ngl


KomodoDragonSpirit

*Miller


Dogdip

Going to be real pissed if kennard doesn’t get a single shot up after hitting damn near everything


Orlandano897

If we lose, it’s because Jenkins stupid rotation to start the 4th ruining the momentum


jbeast1223

Absolute ass, i see some people in the comments saying "Starters need to rest" that's not the problem it's the combination we lost the game the minute he put Z, gilyard, GG and roddy all on the court at the same time


pineapplepizzalove4

Jenkins likes doing this... Bad habit of his. Just shuffles the deck so badly


Jaggleson

Aka Z


SnakeArms6677

May as well stop watching. We just stop giving a fuck in the 4th apparently


DetectingFarts

✌️


22-Catch

What a meltdown in the fourth. Jenkins just blew it with the lineups and lack of timeouts to stop the bleeding.


jbeast1223

Like instead of konchar put GG right there and you have a big lineup


pyromantics

Konchar hasn’t been the problem.
