Unfortunately Gobert didn't throw himself on the ground and tried to play it straight up.

I'm not sure that Gobert is helping Minnesota. He might be, I'm just not sure.

That heating pack ended up under Karl-Anthony Towns’ foot. Beyond that, last game was one of the whiniest performances I have ever seen in a basketball game.

It landed at KAT’s foot while he was going to the basket.

It was dangerous as hell.

Minnesota’s defense will always keep them in games if their shots are not falling.

Totally forgot Legler was still employed by ESPN. He's not a loudmouth hack like the rest of them.

Wolves obviously knew a rebalance was coming and dialed some stuff back. Even so the refs are obviously looking to whistle. That's actually ok so long as the whistle goes both ways.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Wolves need to stop fouling Jokic’s elbow with their chests and necks…

Nasty cuts on Joker's left upper arm. Really wish Denver had another big physical interior presence to help protect him from so much physical bruising from opponents (Gordon not really an enforcer type)

Minny has no recent playoff history. Their fans were always going to jump at anything to drive some emotion into the game. Don’t blame them, it’s a lot more fun that way.

I agree, it's good; but Cherry Coke ZS is my default soda. Pepsi ZS is my #2, though.

Murray was a straight up toddler. He was in full blown tantrum mode and the refs let him get away with it.

He should have been ejected, they didn't care to review it and then got a slap on the wrist with the fine. He also skipped out on the post game and didn't talk to any of press. It was shameful.. and I reaaaaally like Jamal Murray, but he was a full blown clown. Of course he is getting booed.

I have never seen Jokic look so pressed.
