It's over. Without Gobert, there is nobody to stop Allen. We let another one get away.

This is the third game this year that I felt we win but for the refs. Pels first loss, 76ers loss, and this loss. Just straight up got cheated.

I don’t wish death on anybody, except Scott foster and that near haired freak Ed Malloy.
Death to their nba reffing career.

Ah well. End of the day, we couldn't produce points when we needed them. Nobody could step up outside of Naz Reid. Also that Rudy tech was absolutely fatal. He didn't get that, we probably win. We have to be exceptional to maintain a top 2 spot while Towns is out. We were not that tonight. We drop to number 2, we will have to claw and fight to stay at 2. OKC will not be giving up one easily the way Shai is playing and I don't think we will win enough games to go back and take it.

I feel like there was a foul called every time down the floor the whole OT. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fix this obvious ever.
When’s the last time we won with foster as the ref?? Treating us like CP3

Last 3 or 4 Wolves possessions all had uncalled fouls. Cleveland got ticky tack BS on steroids.

How about the Ant tech, you good with that one? Or the Rudy Flagrant with no head or neck contact? Or how about the Garland 3 free throws when Jaden didn’t touch him. The list goes on and on.

Re: Game 64 Wolves @ Cavs 3-8-24 44-19
This was the biggest home court advantage I’ve seen and the ESPN commentators were agreeing. I cannot be so biased. Onto the next one
all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who can keep me sane
Ever since I can remember, I've been keepin' it together, but I'm feelin' strange

It would have been bad enough if it was called even. They were hitting us every time with no whistle. It’s like Cleveland turned into Embiid and the Wolves turned into the anti Embiid (also known as Karl Anthony Towns.)

That one really bothers me. It's clearly an offensive foul, but that's it, a common foul.

Refs choose theit team ronight. It's happen. Move to next one. If we loose the next 2 at LA, then rest players as much as we can. Ending 4 or 6th won't change much the outcome. We will struggle if we keep fighting to ends up 2 or 3 without KAT. Time to be coach tghe smart way. Now we are one injury away from ANT. Rudy, Mike, NAZ to get the season over.

I don't think they were great calls but again, if we were better they wouldn't matter. Situation sucked but we still got beat. Clevland was down 3 starters, they had a rough go too, and they still managed to pull it out. We didn't. Mike didn't show up, Kyle's shooting hurt us, Ant was gassed. Jaden couldn't produce. Etc.

I am sorry, but I cannot accept that attitude in this one. We were down 2 rotation players, playing a road/road B2B, our 4th B2B in 9 games. We were missing shots because we were fouled. They were getting free throws that were unearned. Some games are clearly rigged, and this could be the poster child.

Re: Game 64 Wolves @ Cavs 3-8-24 44-19
biggest reason for loss was inability of Wolves to contain Garland, in particular Jaden
they actually have probably worse shot creation than Wolves with their missing players, if Wolves could have slowed him down or schemed better, don't see how Cavs would generate offense. Lavert is the only other player that can do anything with the ball

Re: Game 64 Wolves @ Cavs 3-8-24 44-19
Rudy got the technical for making the money sign, telling everyone the game was rigged, Which was the absolute truth.
I knew when I saw Scott Foster was refereeing that we were effed.
Expect more of this going forward as the league gets desperate to push us out of the top seeds.
We beat the Cavs tonight but couldn't beat the Brand Managers, who decided they were going to turn Jarret Allen into Wilt Chamberlain tonight with their magical whistles.
What a mess. Does the NBA think this is entertaining?
Even Pro Wrestling would be embarrassed about what went on tonight.
Ric Flair on hand to witness it.
Rudy was gassed in the 3rd quarter tonight. Terrible game from him and fell apart mentally because of the officiating.
Looked like he was fighting something, whether a bug or nagging injury.
I get NAZ not starting the game because you don't want your 2nd center in early foul trouble, but Kyle needs to hit the bench and take his shoes off when the clock turns to the 4th quarter.
Amazing how that Rudy pick and roll looks like **** when Kyle is on the floor and turns to magic when Naz is there to space.

I gave up on the #1 seed the minute Towns was out. We'll likely finish either 3rd or 4th depending on if the Clippers' struggles continue.

you guys are more optimistic than me
just hoping to avoid play-in
Conley has fallen off a cliff and the KA-Gobert lineups will be the main lineups now, rather than a minor nuisance
