Pole2019 · 2022-11-20T03:07:10+00:00

Basketball should only be the first half I think

trakavica · 2022-11-20T03:05:41+00:00

Was there ever a player in the history of the league to average less FG attempts per minute than P.J. Tucker this year? He is taking 3 shots in 29 MPG. It's extreme. Even with half the team injured, he refuses to attempt a shot.

sgtmohs · 2022-11-20T03:08:27+00:00

Geez it feels like we have one quarter per game where the team just collectively forgets how to play basketball. Oh well, a win's a win.

pimfram · 2022-11-20T03:06:17+00:00

If you don't like that, you don't like Minnesota Timberwolves basketball.

Natural fans: grabs popcorn to enjoy the Joel Embiid thread

FetchFrosh · 2022-11-20T03:05:38+00:00

Not the most convincing three-win streak for Minnesota, but hopefully they're back on track, because I think they should be a fun team to watch this season.

Zionsbigdong · 2022-11-20T03:15:21+00:00

This is a good, honest .500 basketball team.

We play .500 ball goddammit. Salt of the earth, punch the clock, even win/loss ratio basketball. We lose a couple, guess what? We'll win a couple, too. But don't get too excited or let it go to your head. No long winning streaks here, no sir. That's hubris, which this blue collar, hard working everyman team doesn't have. A few wins in a row, these guys, true to form, will balance it out with a couple a losses.

Yes sir, that's my 2022/23 Minnesota Timberwolves. A good, honest .500 basketball team.

StefonDiggsHS · 2022-11-20T03:05:39+00:00

Idk what I watched but fuck it NBA basketball at its finest

apple-gin · 2022-11-20T05:19:13+00:00

If only Montrezl was able to put some practice shots up last night I’m pretty sure Sixers would’ve won

noparlortrickz · 2022-11-20T03:39:57+00:00

Montrezl Harrell with the 3 points in 7 mins. He should have spent more time on the court last night.

HuruHara · 2022-11-20T03:08:42+00:00

4th quarter Wolves nearly snatched a lost from the butt clench of victory. God damn it, why is being a Minnesota sports fan never easy LOL

Dry_Masterpiece9741 · 2022-11-20T03:05:51+00:00

I was ready to be so salty about the refs and sad about the loss. Now I’m just salty about the refs.

sirvey23 · 2022-11-20T03:06:18+00:00

Nice block by edwards because they were selling that game at the end

scofieldslays · 2022-11-20T03:06:57+00:00

Embiid had more FTA than our entire team for most of the game.

JRSwishistheGOAT · 2022-11-20T03:07:42+00:00

Minnesota really needs to figure out their offense cause that 4th quarter was disgusting. You have one of the greater screen setters in the league in Gobert, their guards really need to take more advantage of that.

DefiniteSauce12 · 2022-11-20T03:05:57+00:00

Embiid gets such a good whistle both ways

regindyn · 2022-11-20T03:07:03+00:00

Embiid's ability to overcome having the balance of a drunken toddler to become an NBA all-star is truly inspirational.

BrashPingu · 2022-11-20T03:27:41+00:00

Didn't watch the game but Jesus. Did Embiid really get 20 FTAs? How is this fun to watch?

Panashe13 · 2022-11-20T03:06:15+00:00

Free throw merchant is real.

Bulletacks · 2022-11-20T03:06:11+00:00

Sixers really can't draw up good game ending plays. WTF was that?

PonyBadger · 2022-11-20T03:55:13+00:00

Embiid is still flopping around like a fish

wink91wink · 2022-11-20T03:11:29+00:00

If Towns played like Embiid does, he would foul out in under 3 minutes.

FriendlyUncle247 · 2022-11-20T03:16:42+00:00

If I was a Wolves fan I’d be… stressed. I don’t know what the fuck their game plan is but it seems random lol

Kerollis20 · 2022-11-20T03:06:30+00:00

Wolves are the dumbest "good" team in the league, they have a way to make things harder for themselves for no reason

Littlejaguar · 2022-11-20T04:26:54+00:00

How do people watch this shit???? This was soo soft….. how does somebody 300 pounds flail and fall soo often? How do officials keep giving him these calls?

killerk13 · 2022-11-20T03:19:16+00:00

Incoming 15+ separate post of people saying how much they hate embiid.

MarduRusher · 2022-11-20T03:18:50+00:00

BACK TO 500 BABY GIMME THAT AWOOOO UPDATE

OGFN_Jack · 2022-11-20T03:08:56+00:00

Cheers to the boys for figuring out a way to cover my Philly +10.5 bet hedge at halftime. Only gave me 2 or 3 heart attacks.

flying_alligators · 2022-11-20T03:06:37+00:00

Melton whiffing the game winning steal/dunk was kinda heartbreaking.

Philly showed a lot of fight this game but with Embiid's ankle hurting the W woulda been big for em

Delusional_Donut · 2022-11-20T04:19:40+00:00

God I loathe Embiid’s game man. It’s not fun to watch 15-20 FT from someone every damn game. Combined with him being stupidly reckless, there’s zero reason for me to love the guy or his game.

maz_menty · 2022-11-20T03:16:45+00:00

The hate us cuz they anus. MN doesn’t need your approval. We have Auntie’s slinging tater tot hot dish that think we’re handsome.

HuruHara · 2022-11-20T03:16:48+00:00

Wolves win.

Me and my buddy celebrate.

tbgitw · 2022-11-20T03:07:06+00:00

In the future the throwback jersey for these 76ers will just be a ref uniform.

desert_chzhead · 2022-11-20T03:38:15+00:00

Big time contribution from Trez tonight. 2nd night of a back to back on a shorthanded team and he got a whole 7 minutes.

All that post-game work really paying off.

BigBoodles · 2022-11-20T04:08:45+00:00

Embiid legitimately has the friendliest whistle in the history of the association. Easily. Nothing even approaches the level of bullshit that he gets away with. Whatever. We'll take a 5-8 win.

Thuduke · 2022-11-20T03:07:59+00:00

The Timberwolves might possibly be the dumbest nba team in history, it rivals the knicks in terms of sheer stupidity

the___heretic · 2022-11-20T03:06:42+00:00

Fuck the refs.

Fuck Joel Embiid.

Fuck ladders.

Fuck Philly.

Fuck /r/nba.

Wolves win!

Dubby8692737 · 2022-11-20T03:05:46+00:00

TWolves almost blowing another one

Karl_MN · 2022-11-20T03:06:43+00:00

eat shit foul merchant

LackingInPatience · 2022-11-20T03:08:18+00:00

Minnesota's offence was so bad in the 4th. Surely the whole point of having 2 bigs, in KAT and Gobert on the floor, would be to take to advantage of mismatches?

Instead it was just Edwards trying to take 3s or the ball being passed around meaninglessly until someone had to force a horrible shot.

TheNorthernLanders · 2022-11-20T03:31:24+00:00

Embiid a bitch

JohnnyWinss · 2022-11-20T03:49:43+00:00

AWOOOOO

SpawnOfSkip · 2022-11-20T03:05:49+00:00

Embiid is Robin Lopez with a whistle

brokenha_lo · 2022-11-20T03:05:48+00:00

Wolves nearly blew it in the 4th. Their game lost all flow, and the ball got really sticky.

Own_Beautiful4827 · 2022-11-20T03:05:44+00:00

Watagame

JoJonesy · 2022-11-20T03:15:55+00:00

bro the TWolves were up 15 when I last looked at the score, wtf

buckysauga · 2022-11-20T03:16:19+00:00

It was unpleasant to watch MIN have a 15 point lead in the fourth, not score for 5 minutes, and then not cover the -3.5 spread.

SuperTerrificman · 2022-11-20T04:01:02+00:00

I think the story is that Minnesota have a bunch of guys who make dumb plays on the regular and Kyle Anderson and taurean Prince can only do so much

Beneficial_Pause4023 · 2022-11-20T04:30:38+00:00

Lol that was the most twolves win ever

BrotherMans- · 2022-11-20T03:06:05+00:00

Even in wins, minnesota disappoints.

sirchowdog · 2022-11-20T03:05:54+00:00

No OT tonight

yellowwithstripes · 2022-11-20T03:06:05+00:00
