NBA rules are a mess


In one of SGA's buckets, he scored a hesi on Gobert, but it literally looked like the ball was pinned against his body before he dribbled again. How can you defend that?

You can't. It is by design.

The only good thing Fred Hoiberg ever did as the Bulls coach was call out Is Isaiah Thomas being allowed to palm the ball in the playoffs. He said it was unguardable and he wasn't wrong. When a guy can put his hand under the ball there isn't any stopping him. You can change direction way too easily for a defender to do anything.

Such a shame he is so limited offensively. It's like the Wolves on offense are playing 4-on-5.

I don’t get what do players like him do in the summer. You’re over 7 feet. Do you not practice simple offensive moves in the paint every summer.

Shai draws a random foul at the end of the half

Doris: "That's a big swing in a game like this!"

Huh?

Minnesota doesn't have the personnel to make OKC uncomfortable. This feels like a normal game.

Wolves not finishing the half again. It was a 3 point game with less than a minute to go, now it's 8 point game.

Great efficiency from our big 3 but we don't deserve to be winning by 8 tbh...need our role players to step up and play faster.

Bad execution down the strech by the Wolves, but overall not a bad half. Still in it.
