**** MN Timberwolves 8-29 vs 21-15 Portland Trail Blazers - 8pm FSN ****

[_AIJ_]

Trash ass refs

[_AIJ_]

Missed free throws killed us too

[Calinks]

Blazers with fantastic execution, and we really hurt ourselves missing free throws and turning the ball over early on. Too bad but you need to bring your A-game to beat the Blazers, they are too good. Still nice to see the team play way better than it has been.

That’s game

Refs won this game for the blazers smh

To be fair that was the case the entire game. The notion that good players get calls and bad ones or young ones don’t is more than insane, it’s perverse.

[PharmD]

Played great, not quite good enough, Carmelo Anthony was great so props to him.

[UnFadeable21]

That blown replay was the killer

Wolves would of had possession and tie up the game

I don’t like Finch’s play calling. Nowell needed to be shooting more. Also Finch should have had KAT and Naz together in this one. I agree we made a lot of stupid mistakes, but with better decision making we could and should have competed better.

That replay rule needs to be changed or get rid of the replay all together. It is too much of a joke be able to overturn the call but by rule not call the foul.

They had no answer for Carmelo Anthony. Dude is old but still a walking bucket

I thought Minnesota players really played up on him too, the dude was just on fire. Walking bucket.

In that situation, maybe you double, but doubling Carmelo is a death sentence against a team as offensively potent as Portland. I think you just have to go with the "let him beat you"-approach (which, unfortunately, he did).
