Timberwolves can't be making turnovers like this.

This is what makes Ant special

He doesn't respect anyone. He just threw the ball at the MVP. Nobody else is doing that.


This is the year of the Antman!

Doris quoting shade from NBA twitter

"Harden's a guy that averages 26 in the NBA, but if he was on the playground with you he'd only average about 5 because they wouldn't let him get those free throws." --Scott Hastings, April 6, 2013

I'd rather watch my team lose playing straight up basketball than win by flopping

SGA doing some gross foul grifting. Guys back off, he flails at them, & refs get conned by it. Hate to see the game come down to that.

He’s one of the more inconsistently officiated players I can think of.


The first foul was pretty clear. He bit on the pump fake and got caught. The one on the offensive end, they could have let that one go.


The one on the missed shot is the one I saw. Either way, I’m talking more about the consistency of calls game to game vs whether the calls today were legit.

SGA is allowed to bump you as hard as possible BUT IT CAN NEVER BE AN OFFENSIVE FOUL. This is a broken interpretation.

He can chicken wing you with enough force to kill a man. It’s still legal contact as far as the NBA.
