Just a horrendous whistle for defensive players.

This game looks over. MIN can't play the same defense they played in game 2, and they are getting shredded

Wolves look less dominant when the refs call the whistle on them, when they're allowed to handcheck all game they're hard to beat.

It's just weird to get dominated on your homecourt twice in a row, then go and do it to your opponent on their homecourt. Homecourt advantage? What's that?

I don't know what's worse, Wolves defense or offense.

I can't believe Ant couldn't beat Braun.

Edwards might want to step up a little and try and get them some points.

Difference between this game and last game was the difference between 2004 Pistons and 2005 Pistons.

Wolves are not being allowed to play their usual defense but champion teams should be versatile enough to adjust to these calls and appears when things are not going their way, they fold. Danger zone for Minnesota here, a blowout loss and they'll feel all the pressure in Game 4.

Denver is not turning the ball over which allows them to set their defense

Refs have Malone confident enough to throw Braun out there. Someone who saw almost no play last series.

More whistles than game.

The Wolves were the 16th ranked offense and we're seeing why. If they cant get physical w/ their defense and Ant isnt playing like 06 Wade then their offense stinks
