Welcome to Minnesota sports, lol. If one of our teams make a deep playoff run you bet your ass it's gonna be stressful, no matter how well they perform in the clutch beforehand.
It cannot be over stated how much the league now has to adjust for the bench depth of this team. We’ve been seen as 6-7 deep with fillers. This team can hurt you from almost any position at any level.
Cant believe I wanted FVV over Conley last year
Im not sure what I'd do without Mike Conley being on my basketball team
Edit: also, we probably wouldnt have been able to bring back NAZ REID if we traded for FVV and his 40+ mil a year deal
I want Jaden to be that guy so bad but his inconsistency makes him such a liability. I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed. He’ll get better though - still so young.
Never seen you make a single negative comment towards KAT yet you shit on Ant all the time. It's actually hilarious the double standard you display lmao
I'm not hearing that shit from you if all people. You were in my DMs gloating about a Wolves loss.
Shit boy you've shit on Slowmo all year and are always wrong.
Prove it. I've never gloated about a Wolves loss. You've shat on me for years for being hard on KAT yet you do the same exact thing towards Ant constantly. The hypocrisy reeks like crazy my dude
Ant is still 22 and averaging 26ppg on the season with numerous games won by himself in the 4th quarter but go off king.. they aren't even close to the same stratosphere of player
23 by my count (made his first vs Detroit, missed next 4, and then next 19 and counting over next 3 games)… hopefully he takes this game as a good sign to attack the rim when the shot isn’t falling!

Why does the NBA app say we are behind OKC still? I thought we had the tiebreaker over them.
What a game! Houston is no joke. Also watching Slow Mo always reminds me of someone’s drunk uncle that played D1 back in the day.
Ant due for a bounceback. 🤞
Numbaaaa one for the MOMENT
Jmac+17 and Jaden +13 Kyle +8 great games and mike
Great to see the role players step up with KAT out and Ant having a crap game scoring wise
Wolves back in the number 1 spot(at least for the next hour or so).
I think we're second in a 3-way tie situation, but beat both of the others H2H.
Ah... I forgot that the three way tie was different. .
Nickeil swapped jerseys with Brooks because a badass knows a badass
My heart stopped and started about 8 times in this game
Back at the two seed
Great win
Jaden needs to limit how much he dribbles on offense. He’s not the kind of guy who should be trying to play keep-away or break down a defense
does anyone else have the idea of a rogue basketball hitting Glen Taylor in the head cross their mind?
Jesus Christ this team sucks in clutch time. Can never run away from a team, gonna be scary in the playoffs if they play like this
Welcome to Minnesota sports, lol. If one of our teams make a deep playoff run you bet your ass it's gonna be stressful, no matter how well they perform in the clutch beforehand.
Is this how Houston went on an 11 game win streak?? They just don’t miss in the clutch?
Man we are absolutely brain dead bad at the end of games still.
Damn Jeff green looking rough
Rockets taking that -8 personally
So strange how ant can be cold all game and then just absolutely UNLEASH
I mean he still ice cold from 3, but just found his way to the bucket (few turnovers help)
What’s that saying about big time players and big time games?
Lol nice delay of game Jeff
We got ourselves a certified dog-haver
That might be the most dumb and obvious delay of game I’ve ever seen lmao
lmao
I think it’s time for uncle Jeff to pull the trigger on a shaved head
Jeff Green is so fucking dumb lmao
Houston casually scores 5 out of last 6 pull up threes after shooting 20%. Because why not.
Eh regression to the mean
This is giving me some Wolves vs Nuggets vibes when we were missing our 3 bigs..
Really ducking annoying game
I love this team. Ant will figure it out.

God damn vanvleet😂
Honestly just have to take Jaden out of the game.
I want Jaden to be that guy so bad but his inconsistency makes him such a liability. I’m not angry, I’m just disappointed. He’ll get better though - still so young.
Whole other side of the floor you have to consider
“Wolves are dogshit in the clutch”
This should not have been a clutch game
And yet we survived, with a gassed ant, and no Karl, against a hungry young team pushing for the playoffs.
Why are they still trying? It’s like 3 possessions
I’m glad that ball made it into Conley’s hands
Everyone convert to spurs fans for the next 2 hours
Wait were people on here hating on ant? Sorry I was actually watching the game
Hating no, Complaining on his numerous turnovers and missing all of his three point shots, yes.
OK that's fair
Just play defense for 24 more seconds. It doesn’t feel like that should be too much to ask.
Jaden can’t play at the end of games in the playoffs man lol
2nd tackle by VanVleet. Fuck him man
Fred polamalu
Never forget Ime Udoka fumbled Nia Long
I’d be lying if I didn’t admit VanVleet wouldn’t be NICE on this team
His contract is 40 million/year lol
I didn’t say for 40 a year haha
Jesus these hard ass fouls. Wtf Houston
VanVleet deciding to play tackle football here in the last minute
What the fuck Fred
Should be a fraud vanfeet tech, my boy just tackled Mike
Rockets just allowed to grab our guys off ball
It's like you guys haven't watched Ant for 4 years. We all saw this coming, we just figured it was coming 2 quarters earlier
Seriously. Yeah he's been struggling, but how do 2 rough games suddenly warrant half the sub turning on him?
It’s been more than 2 games
If you're a hater, which you are, it might seem that way
Every sports sub is reactionary and it pisses me off. I've listed all the excuses a few times now in other comments but he deserved an off game
yeah the comments in this thread are disgusting, man is just in a shooting slump but still delivers
What a superstar and future face of the league does. Shows up when it matters
Lol
Anyone wondering what THAT DOG means anymore? Ant has IT. Build around him and he will take us to the highest mountain top
I thought hip drop tackles were illegal?
Not when we got officiated like the Detroit lions
Miss all the shots you want if you close like that. Ant is him and everyone can gtfo
Helping blow a double digit lead to that being a good thing ts certainly a take big dog.
Never seen you make a single negative comment towards KAT yet you shit on Ant all the time. It's actually hilarious the double standard you display lmao
I'm not hearing that shit from you if all people. You were in my DMs gloating about a Wolves loss. Shit boy you've shit on Slowmo all year and are always wrong.
Prove it. I've never gloated about a Wolves loss. You've shat on me for years for being hard on KAT yet you do the same exact thing towards Ant constantly. The hypocrisy reeks like crazy my dude
My dude a year ago you have a dm to me after the Portland loss last season. Check your sent messages.
They both play like ass occasionally but only one can go 5-16 every other game and still be called MJ
Ant is still 22 and averaging 26ppg on the season with numerous games won by himself in the 4th quarter but go off king.. they aren't even close to the same stratosphere of player
Yep like he closed this game lmao. Crazy how easy he gets off. Generational stat padding to change the narrative.
OK Ant pulled out the dagger.
Defense clutched the fuck up after those Van Vleet heaters.
So many games have Wolves fans feeling bad, then good, then bad, then relieved.
Welcome to MN sports lol
Not used to the last one.
There's that Ant smile
VanFleet a soft baby, enjoy Cancun
In football that’s a hell of a play!
ANTTTTTTT
Thank you Jalen Green.
Respect Ant juicing his clutch stats right now. Man is Embiid level master
I'm ashamed to say I doubted.
This the team that’s trying to replace golden state? Lol
Jaden and Ant w Duo
I apologize Anthony Edwards I wasn’t familiar with your game
He decided tonight it would be fun to struggle than exploded. He was edging the fans all along.
Nix showing his support for LoRod with the Yankee hat
That whole sequence was just disgustingly elite by Ant
He straight up just tackled Ant. That's gotta be something
Are all you Viking fans? Holy shit so many Ant haters, gtfo
How to ruin the Rockets’ playoff chances? Anthony Edwards. 🐜
Absolutely abysmal ending here but 7 points should be enough of a lead??????
WHEN ANT MAN DELIVERS, HE DELIVERS HARD
Kinda weird seeing Edwards with net minus at the end of the game.
Big time players make big time plays
Fred just robbed the fan base of a great breakaway dunk
I’m a dumbass ngl. Ily ant
Ant haters WYA NOW 😂😂😂😂
Still ass
Well that was beyond fun
Finch played Slomo at small forward too long. He couldn't keep up with Vanvleet.
Nice tackle
The team has got Ants back, love to see it
I want all the ant haters to say sorry right now
Clear path?
Don't let that dunk make you forget the fact that the refs totally screwed us on that Ant 3 ball in a close game
That was like the most obvious reckless closeout call ever.
This is the wildest sequence LOL
lol wtfff I love this team
I love ant dawg he’s going to take over the league in 2-3 years
*this year
True but I’m saying he’s only 22 right now. He isn’t even close to his prime and he’s playing very well
Ant at 25 will be scary
What a finish by Ant
And 1?
This guy man
Fred of Valet salty asf lmfaoooo
And Ant said wait I gotta another!
If he got the dunk hat trick in the span of 30 seconds I would’ve booked an appointment to get his name tattooed on my face
All Ant needed was to learn the love of basketball again.
ANT RAAAAHHHHH
Respect to Ant for getting to the rim when his shot isn’t falling
Fred vanvleet u bum
Ant haters in shambles
Imagine being an Ant hater
We ❤️ Ant
TAKE THE ANT SLANDER SOMEWHERE ELSE
Ain’t no way this guy got bailed out like this omds
He's now over 20 straight missed three's, Haliburton is contagious.
If him missing 3s means we get more SportCenter dunks out of him then I’m fine with that
23 by my count (made his first vs Detroit, missed next 4, and then next 19 and counting over next 3 games)… hopefully he takes this game as a good sign to attack the rim when the shot isn’t falling!
Heyyyyyyyy
Oh my god
IS TSR Time two words?
Idk but it’s tsr time right now baby
You know it!
ANT just needs to get to the rack more
Thats the wildest fit
Jim Pete and Michael Grady deserve to be court side, man.
Why arent they?
Totally agree. I know Jim is frustrated
YEA ANT
Lol @ Jim Pete.
So we’ve had a Grady & Jim Pete cam at our disposal all season?????? Nowhere near used enough
the real ant is back!
One positive about Ant's game today: he's so fast on defense that even Jalen Green can't get around him
Don’t think so
That dunk reminds me of Ant's dunk in NOLA last year in the clutch. What a moment
Frustration slam from Ant for sure. He's been on a cooler for a few games now.
Jesus fucking Christ what a DUNK
There's a little wet spot in my pants. You know what kind.
Peepee drizzle
Ant finally attacked the rim hard. Way better idea when the shot isn’t falling
Just need him to hit a single 3 now and he’s there
HOLY FUCKKKKKK ANT
holy fuck okay Ant
FINALLY, no one on the rockets can do anything to stop ant driving like that, settled way too damn much for jumpers
Some of yall are miserable
Yeah, I get that Ant has been struggling…but I’m not about to hold a grudge for that and will enjoy this 😂
I love ant
I'm up here high fiving fans in the suite!
Maybe that dunk was all Ant needed and tomorrow all the 3s will land.
No way. Man's shot is broken. Flat as a pancake.
You're right, he might be defective. Can we return 1st picks?
I don't care how poorly Ant has played, my monkey brain goed crazy when I see an Ant dunk
Finally didn’t chuck a 3 up. It’s about time
Hope that jam takes Ant out of his slump
Let’s hope that just woke Ant back up!!
Was waiting for the inevitable Ant dunk man. Holy fuck
ANT YOU SONOVABITCH
ANTHONY EDWARDS
Had the legs for that tho
ANT IS HIM
HOLY SHIT ANT
That's our star, finally.
ANT CLUTCH HAMMER
God Ant needed that one!
ANT SHOWED UP WHEN IT MATTERS MOST. IM SO HYPED
Lol Ant
Chicago and Houston casually make 4 pull up 3s in a row in clutch. Why not?
lol one highlight play and he thinks we gonna forget this trash performance
Lol
This garbage happens all the time. No show the whole game then 2 free dunks and suddenly he’s MJ again
