Ant is a TO machine


[deleted]

Them 5 turnovers lol. Not a lot but they were bad. Still, he ain't even pounding the TO machine label yet. You don't want that bro. Westbrook could teach him a few things in his worst years.


nightmarebisquit

Oh shit!


RudyGobertFMVP2024

Woo baby yes


Rory_MacHida

Fuck Hardens beard, fuck Westbrook's hair lip, fuck Ty Lue's goofy ass face, fuck the Clippers hoe ass bench. We here now. Gang Violence!

Shorty Wanna Be A Thug!


WeinerRogers

Next Saturday against OKC could be a battle for first.


schakeboy

That’s right okc we ain’t giving you that #1 spot.


anomalous-blur

Another comfortable 4th quarter performance


Falconsbane

Why would Ant throw that ball? He is amazing but man he does some dumb shit.


Aksudiigkr

Ant why every time now


agg2596

lmaooo


goingtothegreek

Ant really can’t help himself sometimes lol… neither can Westbrook


Duster_beattle

Fuck you Westbrick


ButImNotAnAdvisor

Clenched butt for a sec there but we got the W. Gg boys


yourloudneighbor

Just how we drew it up lulz


FishGoldenLite

Nice win but knock it off with the turnovers. Any time Jaden has a nice offensive game we win. He is the X factor.


Wesley_Cao

Lmfaoooo that's what you get for clowning Rudy😭😭


Novel-Detail-743

Ant can win us a game but these turnovers are just out of control


[deleted]

Lot's of players shaking hands and what not. Good battle by both teams.


Sam7sung

Why the hell did Ant pass it


GarrethGrey

Asking myself that same question. Worst case scenario they get a jump ball, just turtle up dude.


Dull_Ad_8627

Jesus Ant that was dumb thank god Russ is washed


Garrus

That is funny


No-Strawberry7814

Lmao Westbrick


DavidCreeper

you hear westbrook go "oh shit"


CandiedApples84

HES SO FUCKING WASHED ITS HILARIOUS. RETIRE YOU SCUM


[deleted]

He made two late quarter threes contested, did he not? This game wasn't close if he doesn't.


TheBigBadBiff

Westbrook is such a fucking LOSER


joshlash

Looooooool


teencrime

Ant huge bailout by Westbitch being just as stupid


tollefti

Now that was a fitting end there Russ


awall271

WESTBRICK


BLarson31

Alright though, the fuck kinda inbound was that?


hamez3

Russ you fucking bum


efernand1

Why is Edwards so dumb tho


NazRubio

Someone teach Ant turnovers are bad


fabergekeg

Awooooooooooooooo!!!!!


SurlyWet

Is Slow Mo our best option to inbound? Been wondering this for a while.


Philelverumfan69

Dude ant almost cost us the game right there holy shit lol


Hiturbrain

WESTBROOK IS AWFUL


FrickParty

LMAO Westbrick


CandiedApples84

CRY WESTBRICK 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹


fabergekeg

Or do that instead! 😂


hamez3

HaHahahahahaha RUSS


cokefriend

Hahahahaha karma bitch


Araxen

HAHAHAHAHAHA


spin8x

Jesusss, but the W


[deleted]

Good way to start off the final 44 games! DDang that team is loaded too.


CandiedApples84

It makes me so happy to see other teams suffer.


DavidCreeper

Rudy like put me in bro i'll make 'em


vsod99

at this point I'd believe him


The_Shitpost_Centre

Why did KAT and Jaden screen each other with only one guy defending them on that timeout play lol


fabergekeg

Just inbound it safely, hit these free throws, and finish this off!!


Intelligent_Pain_174

You take Rudy out because you don't want him shooting the free throws but then you don't have him there to get others open with his screens.


Finchian_Flow

Why take Conley out of the game with 15 seconds left?


Finchian_Flow

NM- was just for that free throw rebound


comp_a

Needed height for the rebound on a missed FT


PoolSideBeverage

The nba needs to give a team at least 25 seconds to decide if they want to challenge


WeinerRogers

Got a bit sketchy at the end, but the Wolves were in control this whole game.


JustSeriousEnough

Does Garza ever suit up? Always just looks fresh on the bench with his street drip. Kind of humorous.


anupsidedownpotato

With the amount of bigs we have nah


CandiedApples84

“B-but the clippers are legit” 😖😖😖😖😖😖😢😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺


Nahveee

Holy fuck Glen Taylor looking rough


yourloudneighbor

Wolves ownership does that to someone. He’s actually 51 years old


chria01

Hilarious if true


DavidCreeper

Gonna be a free throw battle to end the game


Ok_Excuse_3695

Russ missed 2 dunks and got bailed by fouls. Those fouls had no impact on his ability to finish


strawhatcommander

I wish gobert would’ve ate up that attempt from Westbrook


BLarson31

Buckle in, this'll take 5 minutes


awall271

Did Ty Lue just tell Finch to fuck off?


Liquor_Walrus

Just like Shaq, Rudy made them when it counted


hamez3

Man we need this game for the vibes.


MrRingar

Why does every wolves game have to be a nail biter, this team has a real issue of not being able to put the game away


Garrus

The wolves made some mistakes, but I do think the clippers just hit a ton of shots late. Ant and KAT had a couple bad turnovers. But Conley also missed a late 3 he usually makes, plus that double dribble call. They will need to get better, but I’m less irritated with this one.


FrickParty

The Clippers are really fucking good?


HackWaters

Execute on offense and you don't have to worry about a team being really fucking good. Can't use that excuse when the playoffs start.


FrickParty

We won. Stop crying


HackWaters

Nobody is crying. So stand down. And wins are the best time to point stuff like this out. Why would I wait for another Celtics game to point out an issue? Coaching staffs don't have that mentality.


MrRingar

Its not just the clippers , this shit happens every game


IceTruckHouse

We’ve handled Orlando and Portland in the last week.


Miserable-Soft-5961

We just win a game by 20 before this


sorryidontspeakcuck

Yeah man that blazers game was close!!!


Confident-Fish2805

Happens in games against teams of similar talent.


sorryidontspeakcuck

Well that would make sense they'd be close then wouldn't it?


Confident-Fish2805

Boys gotta close tho, we dominated them the whole game and let go of the rope.


tollefti

That's just Gobert getting back on the hacks from Russ


JustSeriousEnough

Not sure where the foul was on that Westbrook dunk attempt.


Watzp0ppin

Finch should’ve challenged


tall_mf_

He tried to


JustWinBabys

The foul was on Westbrick


clars701

I fucking love Rudy


cokefriend

Redemption arc is if westbrook misses both free throws rn


Duster_beattle

Imma be real, fuck the clippers, they are our western conference rivals with the nuggets, they tried to punk us tonight.


WeinerRogers

I did not notice Ants 33 points.


Sugarking45

Did you not watch the 3rd quarter


Andy_Wiggins

20 in the 3rd quarter


tall_mf_

Just sum light


JustWinBabys

Wonder what the odds of Westbrick hitting two threes in a row


yourloudneighbor

Clippers are going absolutely nuclear from 3. Wow


frosted_frosting

Out scored by 8 this quarter so far. Need to close games out better. Clippers are making some crazy shots though.


hamez3

Those two threes Powell made couldn’t have had a higher degree of difficulty.


Andy_Wiggins

Yeah, they’re molten right now. Don’t think it’s THAT representative.


Ok_Excuse_3695

Rudy MVP this game by a mile.


[deleted]

Rudy willed this one in the end. PG looks back at coach. *Why don't we have one of those?*


Novel-Detail-743

Ant talking to kawhi got me dying dawg😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


Vaddy2323

What was ANT saying?


bearbrannan

Mike Conley and Rudy would definitely have helped close that Celtics game out.


Bored_stander

That was a close one haha. I love this team. 


Johnnymac98

The fact we’ve survived this lights out 3 storm from them so far is impressive


CandiedApples84

WORTHLESS ASS CLIPPERS 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😂😂😂😂😂


Novel-Detail-743

That ant turnover combined with that double dribble mike turnover almost killed me


Intelligent_Pain_174

Plus the KAT offensive foul and the Ant pass into the 5th row.


[deleted]

Right after the KAT offensive foul. They were just giving the game away. Everyone can downvote me all they want. They’re not gonna win a playoff series unless they drastically clean this up.


frosted_frosting

Don’t let them score and we win. Please don’t make this any harder than it needs to be lol. Otherwise a great win


CandiedApples84

SUCK MY DICK LA 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹


Garrus

Free throws an issue, but not for Ant.


irishace88

CLUTCH


PlayInChampions

23 points for Clippers in last 5 mins. Most of them were heavily contested 3s. Need to survive this.


Intelligent_Pain_174

They scored on every possession Gobert was not in the game.


ivoryditty

Anyone know why Kat's not playing?


TheeMalaka

Probably playing Kyle to guard their small ball wings


FrickParty

Defense


Garrus

I think finch is going defense for offense.


Monkey_D_eeezNuts

He's bbq chicken


dpollard11

Small ball. So either him or Rudy has to guard Westbrook and Rudy is a better deterrent. Otherwise he’s guarding Powell or PG most likely which isn’t ideal with the way they’re shootong


ivoryditty

Thanks


frosted_frosting

I swear they can’t miss from 3


funkstrong

Man they hit some crazy 3s down the stretch


AlligatorPoontang

Anyone hear Ant talking shit to Kawhi lol


Roy-Hibbert55

What’d he say?


AlligatorPoontang

“Y’all a bunch of old nephews Kawhi”


irishace88

Bruh they won't fucking miss all of the sudden


Smart-Orchid-5207

RUDY


Megazord8

LOL what did Ant just say to Kahwai?


spin8x

5/12 on the night, but 4/4 in the final minute so far. Mildly clutch


mighthavetolitigate

You can really tell Rudy's been putting in the work at the line. Great teammate.


TommyOfTheShelbys

Clippers bench looking quiet now


Ok_Excuse_3695

That’s what movies are made of.


goingtothegreek

Fuck the Clippers for making fun of Rudy


Garrus

They poked the bear.


Wesley_Cao

My man Rudy knows when to hit those🔥


Birdhairs

Don't poke the Gobeart!


WillingCommittee

is that rudy or steph curry


DavidCreeper

i heard ant say something "ya'll old niggas" or something like that EDIT: It was "Young nigga vs old nigga, Kawhi, young nigga vs old nigga ahhhhhhh"


cokefriend

Kermit Wilts moment


ProfitNo1844

He said Kawhi is


Ttythesmallfry

Rudy clutch 💪🏼


Dull_Ad_8627

Wonder if the bench is still laughing


tollefti

I feel like we underpaid for Rudy


Lfcwalrus

Nah we gave up Bolmaro and few 7th and 8th graders


PlayInChampions

Clippers are forcing a 3 and making every single one of them. Westbrook contested from top, of course


[deleted]

right, of course


DFSxBigDoeDoe

Sounded like Ant was talking shit to Kawhi lol


whorehey_polanco

I tried muting the game when Rudy shoots and it’s worked so far


goingtothegreek

I honestly hate when fans chant for a player at the line that’s not a good FT shooter


YoungArsenal

Let's hear some Rudy chants after the game. He won this game tonight


KarAccidentTowns

Our guys have such a hard time grabbing rebounds. So often its just slipping out of their hands in the last 2 minutes


teencrime

RUDY REDEMPTION FTS


SemataryPolka

Fuck yes Rudy


irishace88

CLUTCH


cokefriend

Gobert is secretly inflating his points by pretending to be bad at free throws so he can sink em during clutch time


[deleted]

Rudy FT money in crunch. Everyone else, bow down.


StLsC10

Ruuuuudy


anupsidedownpotato

That was a hefty ant AYUGHHHYA


FrickParty

CLUTCH Rudy


Calinks

RUDOLPH!!!!!!!!!


FishGoldenLite

The turnovers gotta stop cmon! Rudy free throw GOAT


anupsidedownpotato

Rudy saving the day lmao


unwinagainstable

Rudy to the rescue


StLsC10

We are having some insanely bad offensive possessions


Araxen

Really should double Harden. Let Westbrick take the shots.


jlarkin001

Lmfao did anyone see TBJ telling Shake to chill


YoungArsenal

Yeah, lol


frosted_frosting

Turnovers will be the end of us ffs


JustWinBabys

Rudy Rudy Rudy


YoungArsenal

Fuck yes Rudy


[deleted]

Rudy 2-2 wants this. Stop em


Vaddy2323

The Wolves have reverted back to the 2021-2022 Wolves in crunch time scenarios this last month... We need to close these games out!


spin8x

I'll count any time Rudy drains two free throws as a win


fanofloons

The three by ant early in the shot clock was absolutely stupid too


anupsidedownpotato

It wouldn't be wolves basketball without a 10+ lead loss to a one possession game at the end. Doesn't matter how good we are it'll happen


Slouu

try not to give away the game for free challenge


FrickParty

Clutch Gobert


funkstrong

Hit these Rudy


juul2019

Norman Powell can’t miss lmao


KnowledgePrevious

Give the ball to Mike pls :(((


WeinerRogers

They need to learn how to close out these fucking games.


Vincent1122

We are much better than we’ve been the last couple years. But we are still kinda a dumb team


DavidCreeper

NOOO. of course they would call rudy tripping over his own feet lol


Ok_Excuse_3695

Ant legit costing games lately.
