I'm not sure that Jerami Grant block ever went out of bounds.

Great pass from PG, great finish by RW. GREAT defense last couple of possessions. Good stuff.

And of course it ends in them beating the shot clock with a tough shot in the paint that's whistled for a foul (it wasn't a foul).

And now it's time to sit back and watch the refs bend us over.

That's what we get for getting whooped in the 3rd quarter by a below average team on our home floor.

I cringe when Russell goes for a layup. Get it together Russ.

T-Wolves players complain about a foul on them right after they got two generous foul calls in a row.

There isn’t a single thing on offense that I trust him with right now. His handles are bad right now.

I'd kill to have Robert Covington in a Thunder jersey.

And why does Wiggins suck against everyone else? But against us he actually lives up to the mega-hype that was bestowed upon him 5 years ago?

Refs are killing us. Unbelievable.

Wiggins misses two FTs in a one point game. We get whistled for a hold foul (or whatever it was) and they get two more FT attempts to extend the lead.

The bounces and whistles have not gone our way.

Oooof course Saric hit that.

I mean we were "almost there" 73 times on that possession from getting a stop and it ends in Saric hitting a well-contested three.

Can't get a stop when it matters most.

Frustrating.

Of course two T-Wolves possessions ago we "almost' got a stop 3 different times and every bounce that could've gone our way to seal the game wen the T-Wolves way and Saric ends up making a well-contested three.

Abrines is worthless. He has one job and now he sucks at that. He's not even good at anything else.

We have to trade for a wing that can be what we thought Abrines was going to be.

Just go for the win, get the extra rest. Plus I'm real tired today and want to shut off

Welcome to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the world's most talented, agonizingly incompetent closing team in NBA History. Team is going to drive me insane.
