He's plus 11 and been good this game Had one bad turnover but generally been a good defender and has been steady even on 5 fouls? Are you watching a different game? Or talking about another Vanderbilt?

Ok, so I am not crazy :lol:

Nobody on Minnesota Twitter is mentioning it, so it might have been a mistake by the television crew.

Mobley and Allen are so fun together defensively.

How in the world is that not a travel on Joel Embiid? Just bizarre.

Why didn't they put a bigger body to box out guys like Drummond & Embiid? Towns fouled out? Very odd.

Second Timberwolf big fouled out. Let's see if Embiid manages to foul out Reid and Vanderbilt as well. They're both at 5 so it's close.

Yes, Towns fouled out. All of their active big bodies were out there but they're running out of them.

Towns is fouled-out and those are Minnesota's biggest players. Team is kind of small. Doesn't help that all our players are now fouled out because you can't breath on Embiid. :lol:

It was counted as a block by Naz Reid and offensive board by Embiid so that's probably it.

Embiid channeling MJ and Hakeem at the same time, damn!

Okay. They got out muscled. It just seemed like an odd coaching decision. Like you don't have any better options on your bench?

Then you fail to utilize a timeout? Very odd.

Joel Embiid has more FTs than the Suns and Nets(with the flop gods Chris Paul and James Harden playing) combined.

That's gotta be the worst out of bounds call I've ever seen in my life so clearly off Embiid

This is one of the worst called games this season. Embiid is getting BS fouls every time. Also Wolves are getting no calls on obvious fouls.
