What did they say? Where can I see/read?

They said letting KAT get his 4th and Ant get his 3rd fouls at half time was bad coaching and you can't trust your players when they want to stay in the game..

We ended up winning the game :lol:

LETS GO FINCHY

Probably on YouTube. TNT coverage of the west play in game. They were bashing us all night. They even prioritized hearing from Lu instead of Finch.

The weirdest team ever... We saw bad stretches of games from Ant at the beginning of the season and around ASG, cold stretch from DLo at the end of the season, now the worst game of the season from Towns. But we win!

Yeah...it's unfortunately going be that way with all the small market teams.

A LA team vs one of them...

Ant is going to be something special and the crowd was huge. Loved the beat LA chant and reaction to the Ant dunk. Needed D-Lo to step up and he did too.

We avoid the Phoenix sweep and get a chance against another inexperienced playoff team. If Pat Bev can get in Ja’s head you never know…

We're going to beat them.

Memphis traded Pat to us for a sack of potatoes. Maybe Pat will get extra chirpy because of that. Irritant is the perfect word to describe him, and it’s awesome to have that on your team.

Even Harlan and Reggie talked more about him than the usual superstar

Where's the poster who said the Wolves wouldn't make the playoffs? DH, DH, come out and play...

He’s going by T_Brandon on the game thread of the main board.

He was loud up until the game, then pivoted to LA didn’t have their best player, gonna get swept by Memphis, treating this like they won the finals etc

Patrick Beverly is thankful to Memphis, for what it is worth. He requested to be traded to Minnesota and they flipped him at a discount to facilitate that.

Can you imagine how nuts a MIN-MEM Game 7 would be?

Clippers-Suns could be a great series as well!

Best time ever to be a Wolves and NBA fan!

The only player that had something to proof was KAT, and he proved that it's a moron mom's baby.

I want to see him against the Grizz, I only hope that his weak mentality doesn't make him a non PO player.

Btw, if you haven’t watched Marnie interview PatBev for Wolves+, now would be the perfect time. He talks about going to Russia with his mom to start his pro career, and how much he loves being in Minnesota.

Last night’s tears were 100% real - a dream come true. After years on the Clippers behind superstars, he has finally been able to be a team leader. At the start of the year, he wanted to double the Wolves 23 wins to 46, and get them to the playoffs, and he accomplished both goals, and it had to be particularly satisfying to do this against the Clippers owners.

KAT carried us all year long. I will forgive him one bad game and expect greatness moving forward.

I opened a Wolves vs Grizzlies thread so those posts can go there now.

This thread was hilarious to read through today. m2002brian doing his normal negative Chicken Little routine and then tumbleweeds when the wolves come back and grind it out.

I don't miss following this thread during games, so much knee jerk to filter through (though Calinks and others were great throughout). Fun to read after though like an anthropologist, a lot of Wolves fans just assume the worst and then immediately nosedive when there's adversity.

"Whether you think something is possible or impossible, you're right."

When you only rely on one player, your team folds when that player struggles. When you're built around multiple great players, they can pick each other up when there's a bad game.

Keep in mind, for all intents and purposes last night never happened when we look back at the record books. Towns' bad night does not get put with his regular season or his playoff numbers.

I hope that seeing the team win without him will allow him to take some pressure off himself. He doesn’t need to force things or single handedly dominate. He just needs to do the things he’s good at.

Very true. And I think the Clips game plan was, “if we stop KAT, we stop the Wolves!”

That may have been true for the last five seasons, but it’s not true any more.
