Enjoy the win for pete's sake. It wasn't pretty but we won and beat THIBS!! How good is that?

There is an old debate about a miracle. A man was chased up a 100 foot tower and at the last second fell out. He fell the entire 100 feet and not only lived but was unharmed. The church said it was a miracle. The authorities said it was an extremely large and soft pile of cow manure that cushioned the fall. We are like that man. We survived the fall, but ended up covered in manure. Your right that one bright side is Thibs has to smell it too.

At the end of the day, we won't be looking back at this game because it resulted in a W. Wolves gotta get this dub out of their minds since they have a b2b with the Hawks tomorrow.

I will say that the refs were complete TRASH both ways, but there were a few on the Knicks that I was surprised Thibs didn't even challenge smh

Loved watching Jaden not backing down against Randle too. Kid is not afraid of anyone

Btw, imagine Randle next to Towns.

Remember the times we were complaining about Wolves not being in the east? :lol:

Those were sad Wolves teams

West still leads East in H2H this season though

You've got to respect the confidence and effort McDaniels gives you on defense, I just wish he didn't have to try to guard guys that outweigh him by 65 lbs.

Agreed with all about Nowell - The man is a worker and it's paying off

Robinson fouling out was huge. It was a bad call too. You have to let guys play. I didn't see any contact. Once again officials call something they think they see but never did.

Officiating is the worst part of basketball for me at any level. Let the guys play and call it the same way for both teams. Apparently that's too difficult a task.

Nobody pays a nickel to see officials blow their whistle. Basketball is the worst officiated of all the professional sports. Except for professional wrestling.

For the last fifteen years, these are the type of games we always used to lose.

I’m very happy. This year’s team is different.

he hasn't been handed anything in terms of minutes or a rotation spot, very un-Wolves like for a young player

easy to root for

Knicks fans are crazy, but they do have some good comedians though ..

whoever is producing this game hates randle for sure

“now cut to camera 3”

RJ gotta stop eating potato chips during timeouts. All that grease on his fingers

Patrick Beverley HOF LA Fitness pickup player

They couldn’t just get blown out?

two mid teams battling out for supreme midness!!!

And finally, from their mod

lots of guys played well in parts of this game and yet they all managed to disappoint. blame the guy you usually do in the post game. see you there.

Bravo!

I take it you don't watch NRL (Rugby League) in Aus?

Trust me brother, we take the trophy in regards to terrible officiating :wink:

Nowell was amazing. It is so refreshing to see us FINALLY develop in house talent. Reid, Nowell, McDaniels, Ant, Vando, all guys we have nurtured. We never used to do that.

We've got a team option on him next year so he's got another year to jack up his asking price.

I like this response. No I don't watch it but thanks for the heads up.

That's why I can't undertand the Rosas hate. What he did to transform our team overnight was really something. It would have taken Kevin McHale 10 years to accomplish that.
