When the game re-starts, I wouldn't want to see the starters in if I was an OKC fan. Or a Minnesota fan.

I think its because both guys are willing to say whatever the network tells them to say. They are treating it more like a model UN whereas other guys like to try and say their genuine opinions which can sometimes interfere with network agenda.

Good. This is their best performance as a team since Game 1 vs. the Lakers, five weeks ago. It's about time they had another game like this.

Hollywood age casting has always been absurd but casting 60 yr old Brad Pitt as a F1 driver is absurd even by their low standards. The average age of a driver is under 30. It would be like casting Tom Cruise as an NBA center.

Have you seen Perk lately? He's pretty stacked as well.

Yup. With Perk, he is a former player so it's even more shameful that he tears down other players, including former teammates & tries to stir racial controversy.

The guy had a few serviceable years on an incredibly talented team, and was otherwise a scrub who was a walking low light reel.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have one of the loudest stadiums in the NBA (actually something that dates back to the KG days... though there was a gap period), Minnesota sports fans are rowdy. General attitude among Timberwolves fans is that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a massive flopper (the extent to which that is fair doesn't really matter), so he's kind of on the **** list.

Wolves NEEDED this blowout. Close out the 3rd strong. No more scares.
