Turns out if you don’t guard someone they may start hitting shots.

I apologize to anybody who was offended by me calling game at the end of the third quarter, but if we go into the 4th quarter with a 20 point lead at home in a series clincher I refuse to believe we can blow that.

Cherry on top of this win. Jimmy Butler (AKA the General,) is one year closer to retiring without an NBA championship.

You shouldn’t take anything for granted with this team. Ant has had plenty of games where he single handedly ensures we blow leads. Multiple sloppy 4th quarter turnovers was him trying to lose tonight.

I've never called a game and been wrong. I've called a lot of them. I admit it got a little irritating in the 4th, but as I expected we were never in any trouble.

The thing about tempting fate, sooner or later fate catches up. Have you never seen a Final Destination movie?

Yeah. They're kind of fun. OK from now on no calling games at the end of the 3rd unless we're leading by 30.

:lol: Personally I love that the brocolli head and Kuminga all played well and wolves still easily beat them. I can’t wait for the Warriors to overpay two overated players and screw themselves.

We win, great day! Let's get some good rest, prepare the WCF seriously. Hope Denver win tomorrow and a tough game 7. Go Wolves!

It does nothing but add extra anxiety to every person who reads it and 21 points is nothing to a team that blew 25 point 2nd half playoff leads 3 times in one series just 3 years ago.

Stick to this formula:
10 + 2.5 X minutes remaining.

One thing I loved about this game was hitting Jaden on the lob from either the dunker or a corner cut

You are free to say what you like but we had blown 20 point lead in much less time that 1 qtr recently :D

That was then and this is now. I refuse to believe we are still capable of that. By that formula we need a 40 point lead to start the 4th quarter to call game. I'm more aggressive than that. I want to be able to call game when I'm actually sticking my neck out just a little.

There is too many of them and I am waiting for fate to catch up to that franchise.

Wolves win the series and TNT idiots spend the whole postgame talking about the team that just got their asses kicked.

I am even more conservative, 4.3 per minute.

That's about 52 points to start the 4th and over 100 points at halftime? Do you also add the 10 points?
