It is the Donte DiVincenzo minutes that need more scrutiny.

The guy has 21 pts and only 5 have come from the FT line.

You guys need to stop whining.

He has more FTA than anyone else in the game right now...just saying.

He's the MVP regardless of what you want to call him belt to ass.

He's the free throw merchant regardless of what you want to call him :lol:

Rudy is rough to watch, but this is why he plays:

I'm not even mad at SGA. He's flippin' great... it's the refs and the league that I have a problem with. Every one hand checks these days but SGA gets more rip through calls than anyone else. As I type this, Randle got hacked the same way by Dort but didn't get the same whistle. It makes me hate the league.

It's disgusting knowing if you don't take a dive like a fish out of water you don't get calls. I'm a Raptors fan and Scottie Barnes doesn't flop and he is strong so he is out of luck. They should hire him an acting coach so he score more points. That is what this has come to now. Don't drive to score, drive to take a dive.

Honestly, it's one of the ways that guys 'make the leap' and it's disgusting. You have to hope that your young stars learn how to sell fouls and act their way to the FT line to up their efficiency numbers. I hate it.

Biggest half in Timberwolves history coming up. Not even a T Wolves fan but I'm scared

Yeah, not sure why Conley's getting the criticism here, he's been the most consistent player of the series for the Wolves.

Good, competitive first half.
FTA’s flopping the difference so far. And Chet getting in on the act too.
Would take outlier 3-point shooting to overcome it.
OKC in 5.

Shannon isn't a ball handler and facilitator. Conley's been good in this series, just his facilitation decision making.

Kinda crazy it's only an 8 point game. SGA/JDub/Chet have all been great, while Ant/Randle/Gobert have all been completely awful.

He also has the ball pretty much every possession and driving relentlessly.

Where was this energy when Jokic flops? Dude is just as bad if not worse than SGA when it comes to baiting. I swear people are just hating at this point

Why does the next Jordan have only 2 shots?

He is the highest usage player in this game, and also some of those free throws came from being fouled in the open court while Wolves were in the penalty.

Minny support players hitting 3s at a high clip, will that last?

Most obvious 30 point half from Ant incoming

Jailblazers7 · Post #338 » by **Jailblazers7** » Tue May 27, 2025 1:54 am

Ant has been a ghost on the first half. Way too many moments where he’s giving up the ball at half court and fading into the background. He needs to get to the rim in the second half if they want to win.

It changed Jimmy Butler's life and got him max money

Dort with 3 fouls is a problem since Ant probably going to attack a lot more in the 3rd quarter

Omg you guys who wins Game 4??
