I really really like Lively, in spite of him going to Duke. That’s how good he is.

That's why they are the worst....Just a bunch of bandwagon fans (celebrities) that show up when the team is good


Or rather fans who have little patience for incompetence.

Huge miss by Anthony Edwards. Should have been a fourteen point lead. Balloons to twenty.

Refs need to tighten the game a little bit. Kind of out of control

Towns and Reid getting away with the exact same travel they called Kleber for in the corner.

This is exactly how game 7 vs Denver played out. KAT keeping Minny from being completely blown out.

Just saying.

The Mavs shooting 60% from the field, Wolves36%. Luka set the tone early in this one. Do the Wolves have enough to make it a game? Naz Reid is milk carton status right now.

Ant needs to drink some Sprite like his commercial. Maybe then he won't be so bad on offense

Minnesota has been a mediocre offensive team all year. Hard to see them mounting a comeback. Testament to Denver's nonexistent depth that they blew that Game 7 at home against a team that doesn't score too well.
