That's a ridiculous call.

2 things about that offensive foul call. First he released the shot before the foul was called. Way before the foul was called. The basket should count. Second it wasn't a foul at all.

Both teams are gassed.

They're just taking turns abusing the crap out of Rudy Gobert now.

I was worried we'd play a bad uninspired game tonight. Conley zero points. Rudy 6 pts 6 rebs. You can get any stiff to get you that.

Shooting 20% from 3. Typical Wolves effort up in a series.

Have the rules of basketball changed. Am I missing something here? How in Hell does that Randle basket not count? Is there a continuation rule for offensive fouls disallowing the basket made before the foul?

The early ref-caused foul trouble got individuals in a funk that's taken most of the game to get out of.

Gobert is great defensively, but clogs the paint offensively. Should play more like Draymond and stay at the 3point line and set screens, easier to run back in transition too. Play to your strengths.

One difference tonight, Jaden has been passive on offense

Can't take twenty seconds to get into action. Dribbling the air out of the ball.

Far too little too late. We dropped this one. Need to bring it at home. Fantastic response by the Lakers.

Luka Doncic has been horrible in the 2nd half and we can't take advantage.

You are down 9 with under 3 minutes to play and you don’t attempt any 3s? What kind of coaching is this. We just kept attacking the paint. Even when it went to 11. Ant dribbles for 20 seconds then attacks. This was not a professional effort.

TimberKat · Post #176 » by **TimberKat** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 4:36 am

Can we play any worse in the last 3 mins? Keep turning it over and can't score. In a way, we give this one away.

Ugly game. Flush it.

On the bright side, we won't be overconfident going into Game 3.

Why give up with seventeen seconds left? Really bizarre from both teams.

Guest84 · Post #179 » by **Guest84** » Wed Apr 23, 2025 4:39 am

Lakers in 5 still has a chance…

Ugly basketball game.
We lost this one in the first quarter. Battled the rest of the game but were atrocious early.

Neither of these teams are going to scare anyone in the next round.

They countered our switch and ISO offensive attack from game 1.
Back to the drawing board.
