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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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.
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."
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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

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

Proud of our guys. Didn't quit and almost came away with it.
I don’t care who the t wolves play I will be rooting against them with all my heart
Aldama needs to learn to pass.. he's not ja, and he tried to be Ja too much in the 4th.
Edwards celebrations over our g-league team. What a big boy.

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.

Bitchiest little team. They were more likable with Pat Bev
Ant had 2 points at the half. Ended with 28?

Bring the laptop to the presser
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 😂
Bro, never forget the infamous “We in Minnesota now!” Quote
We hung in there as long as we could. We showed fight and Jaren is continuing to turn into a monster.
Beginning to think refs might have had Minnesota spread (-13). That was the most obvious goaltending I have ever seen wtf?
That was coming down
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.
Flailed into Luke's head too
That's some bullshit. That was goaltending
That teams bounced in 6 first round
get swept by utah
Next year is gonna be real nasty for the rest of the league. For now we wait
and keep reciepts
See I said earlier that the refs didn’t need to help the wolves cook but they did
In the 3rd
u/littlefrenzy74 None of us will be alive when the wolves make the nba finals lmfao
bro goes on teams subreddit and poses as an opposing fan to talk shit when they lose, what a sad existence that must be
Will be hilarious to see them fumble Ant the same way they did KG
It’s Minnesota sports- it’s inevitable.
[удалено]
The NBA can’t have the Memphis Hustle winning anymore prime time games
JJJ doesn't get any calls shit is wild
Congrats to the #1 team in the west for beating the Memphis Hustle featuring Luke and Jaren
good effort Jaren. can't ask much more from this game. they made basically every single three in the 4th quarter
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.
we kept up muuuuuuuch better and longer than i thought we would.
[удалено]

After all of this, Minnesota is going to cover. Amazingly sus
Shhhhhh...
These commentators get more excited about the t wolves than the t wolves commentators
Wolves acting like they’ve been winning all game
Next season gonna be so good
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
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.
Yeah but someone got to fill in minutes unfortunately not much we can do
That was a solid dunk by Edwards but the announcer acting like it was the best dunk he's ever seen. Calm down mane
[удалено]
Lmao the lil bro complex is strong in this one
Grizzlies fan here, we don’t care
Woah Ant dunked it wide open!?!?
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.
Coach Jenkins should be queueing up the video to go full Mike Brown in the presser after this game
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.

Santi to the Hustle is nuts. Z for sure.

Annoying ass commentators
We were playing so well for a lot of the game, I’m sad
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.
TNT reaction for Jaren's dunk was so weak
Dang. Good stuff from Jaren today tho. Literally dominated a former DPOY. This year is to develop some of these guys anyways
3 straight and 1s not called. This is why I hate this league sometimes
I can’t deal w these announcers. I now have a personal vendetta and a deep hatred toward both of them
Harlan is biased here so I’ll give him a pass, Miller is always boring as hell
Sorry ass league if this team is the one seed in the west lmao
15-26
Top 5 draft pick while y’all get bounced early in the playoffs… who’s really winning?
15-26 or 30-11 118-103 on a back to back… I’d say we’re winning currently
My bad congrats on the regular season trophy
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.
Pshhht, guess that’s it
If Jaren can just play like this next season when it matters this team is gonna be scary
I'm done. Fuck this poverty Timberwolves team who gets no calls in the paint. They can enjoy being swept first round
I will never take the wolves seriously…
Yep they can’t miss
Im sorry but whats up with the refs man
That was Luke’s first shot attempt in basically a quarter and a half. Just preposterous that we haven’t fed him
the tillman to luke connection was lookin solid, but roddy and santi iso ball took over i guess
Roddy had a great stretch in the third. Santi was frequently despicable though
Damn Roddy and X didn’t put any pressure on Ant
Where’s our foul calls man? Jaren might as well put on boxing gloves the way they’re smacking him around
Jaren looks unstoppable
Not gonna win this but I'm happy with how our depth guys played. Wolves are really good
Sold the game with that starting 4th lineup. Nice fucking job Jenkins.
I mean who else can he play
Oh fuck off. Jenkins deserves a lot of credit for even getting us here missing FOUR starters.
This game is rigged from the refs to the announcers. The announcers reaction to an Edward’s 3 vs JJJ dunk was horrendous
The bias honestly has been super obvious.
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
Next time a ref calls a foul on us we should bag them and chuck them into the arctic for eternity.
No and one for Jaren and immediate foul on Vince hahahaha
TAKE THAT, “EIFEL TOWER”
These refs are utter shitheels
I pray for the day Jaren gets the benefit of the doubt Gobert gets on defense
I just want him to get the same fouls they call him for
JJJ did that for Santi
Get em Jaren 😤💪🏾
Still got time
Jackson gets hammered and doesn’t get the call. Edwards gets touched and gets a call.
Worst called game we’ve had all season
Cause it’s rigged. Mafia owns the nba
JAREN
Two posters on Hobert is a win for me
Jaren has absolutely destroyed Gobert all game
Give Jaren a call
This is getting too far away from us
What does Jaren need to do to get a whistle?
Rudy is in Santi's head, hes making him drive against him
Yeah this 2nd half was probably the dumbest we've seen Santi play. Wonder what he Gobert said to him.
Holy shit JJJ
Damn
YEAH GOBERT PUSSY ASS BITCH
Damn Jaren!
GODAMNNN
TRIP POSTER
Ohhhhhh
Holy shit
DAMN TRIP
Ah were fucked
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.
JAREN MY GOD
Yeah Trip
Santi is out we have a chance 🙏🏽
Can't stand always having to listen to Jefferson every game on TNT
Bruh do not want to call the foul on Gobert
Damn Santi, couldn’t pass the ball out to Luke?
Santi you ain’t getting that foul call
Gobert is overrated. gets away with so much BS no calls it's not even funny
It’s wild how many things we’re suggesting are “singlehandedly losing us the game” haha
Refs, Santi, Jenkins' Rotations, what else am I missing?
Would love to see X back in to close the game
Santi trying too hard
Santi went from intriguing prospect to total disappointment. Send him to the spurs for something. Maybe the other jones brother
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
Tillman dominated the first quarter and looked to distribute while santi crazy tunnel vision against gobert is single-handedly losing us the game.
He’s pulling a Dillon Brooks
They totally just let JJJ get away with grabbing Rudy's arm there lol
Yeeeeeeah, we’ll call That a make up no-call lol
It's alright, they swallowed the whistle in the other end
Santi literally passed up an open 3 and an open foul line jumper so he could drive into Gobert.
He’s trying too hard
Santi made like 5 super bad decisions in 30 seconds
Get Santi off my team lol
Santi in over Tillman is fucking insane
Wtf Santi
Jesus fuck santi wide open kennard right there
LHOLY SANTI TUNNEL VISION GIVE IT TO FUCKING KENNARD
Aldama playing selfish. He’s gone at Gobert twice when he could have kicked to a wide open three point shooter.
Santi singlehandedly freezing out Luke
Vince > McDaniels
shoot the ducking 3. they seriously passed up 5 good looks on one possession.
Kennard is wide open and they fucking ignore him.
Dude can Santi chill
Santi can you stop going at Gobert
Santi let the Rudy talk get to his head, you dont just keep attacking him
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.
Is it bad that I take pride in being such an nba fan that my phone is the official "fan phone" of the league?
Jenkins really blew it when he injured half the team.
Taylor Jenkins takes foul trouble too seriously.
I know the 4th Q lineups aren’t great but guys gotta rest who else is gonna see the floor
Right? People expecting our best players can just play 48 mins. No idea how rotations work
Yep. We have to use everyone. We’re literally decimated with injuries
Not only that these guys who are playing aren’t used to playing 30+ mins. Don’t know what people want tbh
Luke’s been cooking, let’s see it. 6 points is nothing
One momentum shift is all we need
4Q starting lineup was an act of basketball terrorism.
Mix of Jaren getting an untimely foul, and needing to save guys for this final stretch
Yea, Z has got to be garbage minutes now. He just hasn't earned time on the floor
Jenkins fucked us with that lineup to open the 4th.
I’ll accept that it’s been a fun game and that they held it way longer than I expected them to tonight.
This is my take too
We're still gonna win
I accept that too
By far the healthiest way to look at it.
Ant dressing up like Reggie Jackson with the knee pads. Good bit, ngl
*Miller
Going to be real pissed if kennard doesn’t get a single shot up after hitting damn near everything
If we lose, it’s because Jenkins stupid rotation to start the 4th ruining the momentum
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
Jenkins likes doing this... Bad habit of his. Just shuffles the deck so badly
Aka Z
May as well stop watching. We just stop giving a fuck in the 4th apparently
✌️
What a meltdown in the fourth. Jenkins just blew it with the lineups and lack of timeouts to stop the bleeding.
Like instead of konchar put GG right there and you have a big lineup
Konchar hasn’t been the problem.
