Prince called for touching but Portland can jump into Towns shooting arm while he goes up?

Should be an ejection

And suspension. I love that refs say no contact as the Wolves floor staff is wiping up the blood. Maybe they think Nowell is a nose picker and went overboard?

I’ve seen a lot of bad wolves teams…whatever Portland just trotted out there for a team is twice as worse as any of those bad wolves teams

Half their available players aren’t NBA players.

The Wolves were legitimately awful on offense the whole half and they still have a 27 point lead. If the team was shooting even a little bit they they would be up by over 40.

To be fair, no Dlo, no Ant, bad Beasley, playing keep away from Nowell and they’re quadruple teaming KAT, we are lucky to be leading at all.

Good game for DLo to take some rest

Holding POR to 34 points in the first half will help those defensive stats!

GSW not using any starters. Jazz seem to be banged up, but I am not 100% sure. Based mostly on low minutes for Gobert when Dallas built their lead.

Please don’t let “it’s a PBJ” catch on.

Great nick-name but he's only 2 for 10 tonight.

I like it though.

Nowell doubtful with a “nasal contusion.” I hope they run him through concussion testing as well. Looked really bad, and I want them to do right by him.

At the 1:52 mark of the third quarter you need to see the look on KAT’s face. Back to back airballs by TP and MB. KAT just laughing and grinning. You just have to see it.

Our bench is having more fun than our fans and they are doing multiple waves.

I love it. It's great to see our deep bench get minutes. The team went nuts after Layman scored. Great to see.

McLaughlin's turnaround has been huge for the bench..he looked so awful first couple of months but has been really good over the past 2 months

I like Greg Brown and Brandon Williams
