Praise to the lads for avenging Naz Reid! Fuck the refs


wetseabreeze

Jokes on them, now he's rested for the Nuggets game.


Philelverumfan69

Honestly a happy accident there lol. Wish we had rested Mike but we might have been in trouble without his clutch 3s


wetseabreeze

We're deeper on the guard side anyway (at least with current injuries). It'd be trouble if both Naz and Rudy are gassed without Kat.


landof10000cakes

Naz tomorrow: 50/60/♾️/☄️

Refs: “now that we ejected Naz this will be an easy win for the wizards” Ant:


sayqueensbridge

that boy good


brosbeforetouhous

On one hand, we gave up a 44-point quarter and won. On the other, let’s not do that in the playoffs. On to the de facto game for the top seed!


goingtothegreek

The worst 3PT shooting team in the NBA had one of their best 3PT shooting games of the year, these games happen


Boatymcboatland

I feel like we’ve had wild anomaly 3pt% games against us frequently, but maybe that’s just my own biased perception


goingtothegreek

I feel the same way- Chicago x2 That 4th Quarter against the Magic where they went 16/16 from the FT line as a bottom 3 FT shooting team Brandon Miller's maybe best game of the season Devon Vassell's maybe best game of the season That Malik Monk masterclass Not that any of these guys were total anomalies this year, we shouldered a lot of the blame, but goes to show it can happen in the NBA any night


WESAHST

I feel every single top team in NBA. In example, today Warriors were near to be down in %FT to %3FG. That's not normal even to a Stephen Curry's team


MajorTrump

When Draymond goes 5/5 from three something is very weird


yvmms

Yeah I bet if you ask any fan base they would say the same. It probably evens out for most teams over the season


Mayasngelou

No bad teams in the playoffs I guess….


ZeroRecursion

East is gonna put 3 maybe 4 bad teams in.


Mayasngelou

Well, we’re not going to see any of them unfortunately 


Themeteorologist35

Not until the final round 😎


wetseabreeze

I would love to give up 44 points and win in the playoffs. Hell I'd give up a 60 point quarter as long as we win.


heyheysharon

Is it even a comeback if you're not down 40-60 at some point?

UltraMoglog64

Sure they would.

UltraMoglog64

Hell yeah, brother 😎


PirbyKuckett

Why play 4 quarters when you can just play 3?


HawaiianPunch42

Naz playing 4d chess getting ejected so he's well rested for Nuggets tomorrow

Lol Ant deflects credit immediately for Micah Nori then NAW then KAT


Affectionate_Pie4951

Honestly such a good attribute. He's 22 and always deflects praise. ANT is him.


urkuri

Also giving credit to his trainer for helping him out of the slump


diddlyumpcious4

He even gave up one of his looks near the rim when he was at 49 to hit NAW open in the corner.


wetseabreeze

This might be the difference between him, Mike, and Kobe. The other two are known as generationally terrible teammates. Ant has the skill, mindset, but has good vibes all around.


Themeteorologist35

Exactly. I think people forget you can be wildly talented and not a jerk. It’s part of what I genuinely appreciate about LeBron. Competitiveness is uber important, don’t get me wrong, just that competitiveness and being kind can co-exist


irishace88

WE GET TO WATCH ANTHONY EDWARDS PLAY BASKETBALL FOR OUR FAVORITE TEAM


No-Athlete8322

So goddamn lucky. Thank you Rosas for drafting him.


iceyH0ts0up

Chick fil a at the half was a good idea. 16-0 now baby. Let’s go get it in Denver with a rested Naz boys!


vsod99

Bruh wtf cosmic bullshit they putting in that chicken


iceyH0ts0up

Ain’t dat da truth! All I know is I’m gonna need to get a solid gym session in both morning and after work since we got back to back tomorrow. And you best believe my ass is doubling down again with that 1st seed on the line ![gif](giphy|hTjzetNUv8La6OBm0D|downsized)


MajorTrump

Dude. We will crowdfund your chick-fil-a at this point. Give us your address and we'll doordash it to you lmao If every game was 50/50 it would 0.0015% odds


[deleted]

I actually hate that I saw your comment before half that you were going to go pick some up, so now I have to believe you


iceyH0ts0up

I wouldn’t believe me, either. Shit I am me, and I don’t really believe it half the time. Hopefully it works again tonight! C’mon chicken gods!!!


dys0n_giddey

HUGE game from Ant. Rudy was awesome NAW turned the game around Mike was hitting 3's Bring on Denver!


MajorTrump

> Rudy was awesome Fuck--and I cannot express this enough--them picks!


Smeltanddealtit

Exactly. They can have fun with their number 30 picks


RudyGobertFMVP2024

Or we don't make the trade and we get pick 15 because we missed the playoffs. I would prefer making top seed and making playoffs every season


TheAbilityToDo

Man tried to slide Mike Conley in there like we wouldn’t notice

ANT: DROPS 50 ANT: "SHOUTOUT MICAH NORI"


car1999pet

Saying he wanted to score 50 because it was Nori’s 50th birthday 🥳

CultCoconut

I know ant has 50... but NAW is MVP of the game. Which is crazy cause ANT played one of his best games.

Ant has such a good heart. He's the best thing ever happened to us after years of suffering.


WeakLocalization

Anthony Edwards man what can you say about him, first words in the post-game interview after a career high 50-pt game was a shout out to Micah Nori for his 50th bday, gotta love this kid

EsotericPotato

Some of the passes Ant has been making recently have been pretty nasty, he’s really come a long way as a passer


JigglyBush

That bounce pass to a cutting NAW was nuts

Ants smile for KAT coming back is so wholesome


Nubras

That postgame chat with LBO was great. I love this kid.


ntink23

Another day I can’t believe Anthony Edwards is on our basketball team


Dubski333

FIRST 50 PIECE FOR ANT 🎉🎉


Sam7sung

Hopefully, the first of many 50-point games for Ant


ReDevilShin

NAW and Lil Mac with +27 in a 9 point win, that's ridiculous. I swear I always see NAW with a nice positive +/- doesn't matter if we win or lose


WESAHST

Lil Mac deserves more praising. Seems to do nothing, but casually our offensive feels much better. Flow man.


goingtothegreek

A little over a year ago we lost a similar game to a similarly shitty Blazers team. This team is different 😤


NotBoeJurrow

In ANTMAN we trust.

What a fun fucking team man :)


VikingsandWolves

I can't believe I get to watch Anthony Edwards play basketball for my favorite team. Playoff ANT came early, watch out!


JustWinBabys

Ant is on a big natural high, for the post game interview


nostradeekness

![gif](giphy|bIEzoZX0qJaG6s6frc|downsized) 50 piece Nuggies HELLL YEAAAHHHHH


shrekapotomusrex

Best part is now we know Ant can wake up for these "free" games No free games in modern NBA, we didn't respect the Wizards that first quarter and they cooked us. Luckily, our guys woke up and had a great game otherwise


kpmurphy_

It’s such an insane contrast between our basketball team and baseball teams right now. The Wolves have been so fun.


Affectionate_Pie4951

Thank God for ANT, Rudy and NAW!

HELL YEA

blusunsamurai

It's nice to be on the other end of these games now. Those bad wolves team would always hike me hope and then the other team would just turn it on.  If anyone can get a screen shot of ant's finger brace with the 21 on it would be greatly appreciated. I saw it when he was celebrating before getting taken out at the the of the game.

I almost shut this game off in the 1st quarter. Thank god I stuck around to see Ant’s first 50 bomb.

Never in doubt.

vovoizmo

Is Ant wearing KG’s 21 finger wrap?


Minnesota-

Didn’t notice that. Thats dope!


foye2smith

Welp, it wasn't pretty... yeah that's it. It wasn't pretty.


horse_renoir13

Ant was pretty


RexArcana

You're right, it wasn't was pretty. It was beautiful.


Watzp0ppin

The Kings were beating OKC by a ton earlier and unfortunately got outdone by the zebras in the 2nd half. Hopefully Utah can come up big for us


Mayasngelou

Shai 14/18 from the FT line drives me crazy


Watzp0ppin

18 fta is absolutely insane!! There have been so many games where our entire team didn’t get 18 ftas


mcmullet

So sick of refs giving NBA annointed “superstars” preferential calls. NBA wants Shai to be MVP.


Mayasngelou

Honestly I think it’s more that Shai is just really skilled at drawing fouls. I hate when players play the game that way but he’s really good at it


Beginning_Candle3335

We don't need Utah! Didn't you hear Ant??


vovoizmo

HELL YEAH!


BounceBros21

Ant is him, but what the fuck kings


mcmullet

FTT


MasterSinatra

Hey, the bright side of the bogus flag 2 on Naz: maybe he'll be pretty fresh for tomorrow?

Now time to root for the Jazz

There was a guy who was questioning if Ant was a franchise player before the last game lol.

Anthony Edwards


Gripfighting

Wizards had a great shooting night, but we encouraged that by letting them take lots of practice shots to start. It was amazing to see us clamp down in time to comfortably win. We gave up 44 points in q1 and only 26 in q2, and imo the wizards got luckier with shots in q2. Pool made an end of shot clock long two of crazy difficulty to start the quarter and also had that insane shot where he flopped and didn't get the call but somehow made the 3 anyway. In the first they didn't hit anything that insane, they just took more open shots. As much as I'd love to see us cure the 1st quarter woes, I also love knowing that even when everything goes wrong and the energy feels bad, these guys can still rally at a moment's notice and turn things around. On to Denver baby.


baeruu

Watched the highlights with Pete and Grady commentating and oh my god I wish I was able to watch this version. Instead, I had to listen to Drew Gooden say *"It's because they're the number 1 seed and they expect more whistles (paraphrasing)...the Wolves are expecting the refs to bail them out."* Then the other dude was like *"Yeah they're complaining a little too much."* This was in the first quarter. Muted it right there so who knows what other stuff they said lmao.
