FTFY

If you're team is in danger of getting swept, this is the MVR (Most Valuable Ref)

The good news is that the Wolves' struggle came very early. Cut this down to 10 points at halftime and we have a game.

It’s shocking watching Jokic miss these looks

This **** is unwatchable. I just don’t understand how you allow physicality the whole Phoenix series and both games this series and then call all the ticky tack bs today. If I was a Wolves fan I would be furious.

Wolves should just constantly attack the paint and force them to call fouls if this is how the game is going, adjust to it

My Tony Brothers rookie card is worth so much now. Dude is putting up historic numbers.

These refs are being paid by the whistle man...

Refs inserting themselves into this one.

Karl-Anthony Towns missing a quarter of the season tanked their offensive rating a ton, for what it is worth.

Same with jokic. Rims in and out too many shots

Naz may be Jokic’s Kawhi. He’s making his life a living hell

Maybe it is always this way, but I feel like each reffing crew has such a distinct style of reffing. The Scott Foster and Marc Davis crews call way less then the other crews and it completely changes the style of game being played. Can’t wait to see how Luka responds to the Marc Davis crew

Lol Kat.

Murray hitting fadeaway and having a commentator say he's "Like that" followed by KAT dribbling off his foot tells you all you need to know. This is over.

For sure, get it down to 10-12 points by half and you got a game. Just gotta overcome the shock of the first quarter and change and settle it down in the second half.

3-7 7 points, Denver only up by 17 on the road.

This is why the NBA will never eclipse the NFL. It's too WWE-ish at times.

I am furious as a non-biased fan. I was looking forward to this game all week and this sh@# is boring af outside of a few Murray jumpers.

Unless I’m blind, that’s clearly on Kat, which makes his reaction hilarious.

The real danger is if this is the baseline whistle for the rest of the series, it’s over

Who wins GAME 7 and goes to the WCFs?
