Should be a foul on Schroeder and a double T on Jaden and Schroeder

I didn't realize how much Jaden has filled out until I just saw next to DS. He looks like a tank in comparison.

And an ejection for Dennis.

We hit 40 wins before 20 losses. What is term for that

That’s Jaden’s 5th technical. 16 means you miss a game

Ant has 9. Rudy and Naz have 4.

Not sure why there wasn’t a shooting foul on Schröeder before the taunting.

Are you sure that wasn’t Ant’s 10th?

Allowing 86 points should push MIN’s DRTG to 107.9, down from 108.3.

107.9 is amazing this year. CLE is #2 at 110.5

I thought they said that Jaden and NAW got techs? I’ll check.

Yep, “Alexander and McDaniels”

Yeah, they both shoved someone, NAW got DFS under the basket.

I believe it's called pulling an Ndudi Ebi.

Ant picked one up in the 3rd for arguing no-calls.

I don't want to go negative on Towns, since I do think he's been a positive for us this season, but this is fairly telling:

Read on Twitter

Like...you're the greatest shooting big man in history (apparently). SHOOT THE **** BALL! How many times do you have to do the baby giraffe flaildance before you realise it not only doesn't put the ball in the basket but also actively leads to turnovers that hurt the team?

Other side of the coin. Karl went to the free throw line 8 times tonight. A lot of his turnovers occur with a ton of contact. Karl is 87.5% free throw shooter, and I believe he shoots well both at the rim and on the floater/hook from between 5-12 feet in the paint. Karl took 8 3s tonight and made 4. Would I like to see him shoot 10, sure. But Karl had one less point than Ant on 6 less shots and 1 less free throw. Finally, how many of those kick outs have guys miss the shot or not complete the pass (leading to a turnover on Karl.) I am not saying there is no merit to this. I am saying the story isn’t being properly told.

Not a nice win but we take it. Lucky ANT, KAT amd Mike find some rythms and shoot pretty well second half. But we have been lucky too that Brooklin did not shoot well at 3.

Gotta show some love for Monte. He was awesome tonight. Especially in the 2nd quarter. Big part of why we kept the bleeding contained in the 2nd.

Aaarrrroooooo, nice win on a b2b! They're still responding with wins after a lose. Love it!

These guys cover a huge percentage of the ball with their hands, so I agree with the rule. We would just have longer games because of the extra free throws. At least one rule that helps defense over offense.

So you should be able to hit your opponents hands. What if you break their bones while doing it? I don't get it. If you can't get the ball clean you can't get it.

It's also hard to judge if one hits the other guy's pinky finger or not.
