In one of SGA's buckets, he scored a hesi on Gobert, but it literally looked like the ball was pinned against his body before he dribbled again. How can you defend that?

fr though the guy should be getting lobs if anything. He is ignored under the rim by the defense and people don't even look for him.

I'm always impressed when I watch OKC by how Chet's toothpick limbs manage to survive the action out there without snapping.

DEAR NBA,

**** OFF WITH

1. THE AI RECAP OF PLAYS

2. HOT RED CIRCLE AND COLD BLUE CIRCLE TRACKING AROUND PLAYERS.

3. THE COMMENTATORS PUSHING BOTH ABOVE.

IT'S **** DISTRACTING AND INSULTING. FANS AREN'T IDIOTS. THEY KNOW THAT IF A GUY IS SHOOTING 8/9 OR WHATEVER HE IS 'HOT'. LIKE WE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN NEMBHARD WAS 'HOT' WITHOUT THE RED CIRCLE AS COMMENTATORS JUST STATED?

****. OFF. SHOVING. THIS. DOWN. OUR. THROATS. AND. USING. VIEWING. FANS. AS. FREE. TESTERS.

P.S. WE PAY FOR THIS ****.

Such a shame he is so limited offensively. It's like the Wolves on offense are playing 4-on-5.

Liking the Wolves’ defense so far. It’s those empty possessions that’s costing them. They have handled the ball very well too with just 5 turnovers)
