No points for Book at last 4 minutes. The same old story.

I don't know what anyone is expecting without Beal and Durant. That's like 50 points missing. Tough loss but we don't care about the regular season if it's costing us a healthy team.

Just watched the game. Thought it was a great game until about 5 minutes left in the 4th. SO MANY awful, awful calls in the Wolves favor. They'll come out with a 2 minute report saying missed offensive foul on Randle on that last play. But doesn't matter after the fact. Conley with the super obvious flop on Allen a bit earlier. Randle also got FTs for hitting O'Neale in the face. What a way to ruin a good game, officials.

So L2MR says correct no-call on Randle's obvious push off for the last shot, it does however say he traveled and it should have been called. So screwed regardless.

They basically never call those travels, especially in these final shot moments. I feel like travels are called so loosely, it's almost always a surprise when they do actually call it

I knew we were gonna lose when Drysdale says 'it feels like we're up 20!' when we were, in fact, up 8.
