Lmao tell me you haven't watched from the start without telling me you haven't watched from the start

That offensive foul on MPJ is what Ant does on every single drive to the basket. If they want to call it on MPJ that’s fine, but you better call it both ways (they won’t).

And joker was fouled on his last basket and of course no call, but that’s normal for him.

And Murray essentially tried to intentionally foul Ant and it wasn't called.

Seven footers should not be trying to take charges.

Bad start for Denver

* Blowing easy transition chances
* No defense on Ant
* Murray looks lame on the leg


Not what they were looking for
Thank you Nico!

I just don't get how Towns fouls so much. Does he not know how to defend?

Wolves just have to keep attacking and they'll get these calls. Not be frustrated, that's the key.

Gobert flopped on offense trying to get a Jokic foul.

Pathetic. Looking like Embiid :lol:

That pass from Jokic to the corner was special, even if it didn't end in a bucket.

It's true. I kept saying in game 3 Wolves had no intensity nor focus, unlike game 2.
