Unbelievable win considering the officiating. Dlo comes up big. He takes no credit for the win gives it all to his team mates.

AARROOOOOOOO!

Naz also came up big. After an awful 1st half, he ended up with 7/10 FG with that clutch corner 3, and he was the only guy we could put on Embiid's body without Embiid just moving him like a kid and laying it up.

So I don’t know how many times I heard PHI fanboys on the Trade Board mock people suggesting D’Angelo Russell, 4 unprotected picks and three swaps for their superstar Ben Simmons.

Could Lillard have done better tonight?

I couldn't watch after the first half as I had to go out. I was just checking live scores and I am so surprised that they managed to win this after blowing that 20 point lead. I have been used to this team throw away games like this all the time

This is why I 100% hate that strategy, for the record.


In that case you're so right.

Nobody else is mentioning it, so I think it was a mistake by the television team.

Good day to be a Minnesota sports fan. Wolves beat 76ers in double OT and the Gophers crush the freaking badgers.

What we saw from Russell tonight... it was unreal. That probably the most clutch shooting we have seen in a wolves jersey, only Love and a select few players have had a shooting run like that. It's something this franchise has needed forever and it's why they brought Dlo in. It doesn't happen all the time, it is rare, but it's an ace a good team needs. Dlo was magical tonight, cannot praise that performance enough. Wow.

Lol Ben’s value is taking a massive nosedive. Russell/Beasley/2022 lotto protected frp for Simmons/Maxey is all I offer.

I think I heard the announcers say that MIN hasn’t won an overtime game in two years?!?

That seems impossible, but I bet that’s true. For the last .. oh, I don’t know .. 20 years?, MIN hasn’t had that closer. We haven’t had a guy that you can put the ball in his hands in crunch time, and just let him create his own offense.

Right now though, we have two. .. Russell and Ant. PHI has a lot of things going for them, but this has perhaps been their biggest need. Maxey has improved, but he just isn’t there yet.

I just watched video of the Drummond tip in. He literally shoved our player out of the way before getting it. Simple foul call.
