Good game so far. 22-17 Wolves. Harden out. Need to win this one.

I forgot the game started so early.

Thanks for making the Game Thread, Nick.

I’m not sure there is a player in the NBA I dislike more than Embiid.

He initiates contact, the refs gives him whistles. He flops. Poor sport. And he‘s a fake tough guy.

Kinda wish Charles Oakley was still in the league, to punish Embiid when he acts like a punk.

Are we sure we're not on the back to back with all the missed shots?

All that momentum on the road and we completely fell apart in that second quarter. Couldn't hit anything.

You can tell these guys don’t follow the Wolves.

Everyone calls him “Ant Edwards.” Yuck.

The whistle that emblid gets compared to ant just doesn't make sense. Why can't everybody be called just the same? What other sport does this?

Yeah what a whistle Embiid has been getting in this game, with a whole 1 FT!

Poor Kyle Anderson. Not sure what he did to be stuck guarding Embiid one on one in isolation.

It was good to hear finch just before half talk to the ref about fouls. Even though it’s not going to help much.

But who’s going to help Ant out scoring??

I don't complain about fouls much but that last play before the 1/2 and one against Gobert down low. That is two fouls Embiid got away with. I don't know about him being MVP, but no doubt he wins the Oscar for best actor in a dramatic scenes.

Every time down is an Embiid foul.

This is also one of those Kat games. We have no one that can put pressure on Embiid consistently.

We don’t have enough shot creation right now without DLo or Towns. Good teams lock down on Ant (or if Ant can’t take over) and we’re going to struggle to score. Conley and Anderson make the right play, but they’re not really high level creators.

I hope Towns can come back and give us that offensive boost without disrupting what we have going on defensively.
