Man.... Grizzlies had that game. Dillon Brooks screwed them. WTF, it was there's and they just gave it up, that's a big-time loss.

Why was Morant even in the game when he was injured? That is on their coach...bad luck...but on their coach.

I am very annoyed that wolves made Bane and Clarke look like nba all stars and they look like their usual average nba role players now.

You guys faced a healthy Bane who is a monster and our #2 guy on offense. He has been injured since game 1 this series and looks like a shell of him self. Don't totally know what is going on with Clarke though Dray guarding him is certainly a factor. You guys helped off of him to stop Morant so he got some better looks in your series but Morant also was much more contained.

Had you guys faced this version of the team you'd have likely gotten a gentlemen sweep.

Bane looks like he's back tonight. Wow.

The Timberwolves would NEVER go out there and get their faces kicked in like this. :naaa:

Culver 0-6 and a -13 in a game his team wins by 39. Yikes. What a trade to get Bev for him and Juancho.

Some Sixer fans calling for an Embiid trade now lol. NBA fans are nuts.

Couldn't happen to a nicer team, full of nicer players in a nicer sporting town.

Eat an absolute bag, Philly.

I saw this tweet and was wondering how many teams haven't made conference finals in last 20 years and I could count 5 - Pelicans, Hornets, Knicks, Sixers, Wizards. Definitely lower number than what I expected. Pels are also the only Western Conference team to not make conference finals in last 20 years

I could have sworn they got there before. That is surprising, Embiid has been a top 5 player in the NBA for a few seasons, just goes to show how hard it is to win with a Center. Until they find that elite 1-3 they will probably struggle hard. I'm so happy we got Ant.

It's also not like Embiid didn't have help. He has had some pretty good rosters around him. I'd say their best chance was last season but they choked it away against Hawks

Wiggins is putting the knife in the Grizzlies hearts right now.

If they kept Jimmy they would be in really good shape. If Harden doesn't work out, I don't know, they are in trouble. They got to find someone.

Well, Pat Bev is old, overpaid and the Grizz didn't need him. They were probably ok just dumping his contract and Culver and Juan are expirings. Maybe, they figured they'd get a free look at Culver given that he was the 6th overall pick not long ago. Sure, Pat Bev may have provided some intangible value for the Wolves, but I don't think there is much demand around the league for him based on age and salary. I wish Wolves would have offered him $5 million rather than resign him for $13 million.

Wolves should just spend offseason working on rebounding lol..it's insane how much Grizzlies feasted against Wolves on offensive glass but the same Grizzlies mainly lost the Warriors series because Warriors killed them on offensive boards & 2nd chance points. It's not like Warriors are some big team or something.

Pat bev was an expiring too. Pat is most definitely a valuable player. Very good defensively and can play well off of a ball dominant wing.

WE got to fix this boxing out problem. The Warriros were boxing out, guards and bigs and it paid off. Clarke didn't do anything. Against us he was flying all over the place, so annoying.
