Memphis goes down in their house.

Morant forced way to much stuff.

TWolves did whatever they wanted to them.

Looked very much like a young team.

I know a lot of people are poking fun at the TWolves.... but I thought it was pretty cool haha. They're not gonna win anything, but let them have their moment. That type of energy is better to see than complete apathy imo. It was over the top, but whatever.
Being a Timberwolf has not been fun for over a decade. It’s miserable. The winters are miserable. These players have all been panned and criticized.

To go into L.A. and win an elimination game…totally fine with the emotional release.

They have 6 solid players too and can win a game or two to make Suns sweat.

Hell make Chris Paul play 5 games and he might not be around anymore.

Lol did you watch the game? The refs were atrocious. Ja was getting hacked in the paint constantly and the refs just swallowed the whistle. KAT was literally tossing guys around in the paint, and no calls

That said, I agree the wolves are a tough first round matchup. Edwards is legit

Got the Miami game going on in the background and i noticed Chris Quinn is an assistant coach. Makes you feel old.

Yes, watched the whole game. The refs called it the same both ways. Ja was forcing and out of control. Its playoff basketball. The TWolves dominated them in every aspect from start to finish.

So it’s not a foul when a guy grabs a guy in the paint and shoves him away? Because KAT was doing it all night. There’s a reason he fouled out the game or two before that…if the refs call those fouls(because they are fouls) then it’s a different game.

Adam’s and Jackson played 48 min total because of their foul trouble. 9 fouls called on them in 48 min

KAT played 43 min total and got called for just 3 fouls

So much for home court officiating.

They didnt lose cause a ref missed a call. They were dominated. They were rusty from the start. They looked young. They will probably win the series, but they looked like a young team the whole game.

Celtics Nets is going 7 and its going to be fun. What a game. Tatum was better than Durant today. Kyrie is just a ridiculous scorer. He is magic out there.

I didn’t say they lost because of a missed call. It was multiple missed calls(not that that’s even why they lost). I’m merely stating that the officiating was poor. Which at first you disputed, but now are seeming to be coming around to acknowledging possibly

All I said was KAT got away with whatever he wanted in the paint and wasn’t getting called for it

So heading into the playoffs, basing it off of teams in top 10 both in offensive and defensive team ratings…the teams that qualify are

- Boston
- Phoenix
- Memphis
- Utah

So pick one of those to win it all lol

Basketball-reference shows Miami as 10th in O, so they qualify as well.

Frankly, I won't be surprised if none of these 5 teams win the championship this year.

Frankly, I don't know why nba.com and basketball-reference have big differences in some teams. Not sure what is being computed differently.

All the research I've done on top 10 O and D come from basketball-reference, so I just stay consistent with that.
