I'm too lazy to look it up at work, but what's the record for the longest quarter played?

Surely this q is getting close to a record.

I feel like ESPN has been fairly complimentary so far. TNT had the soundbytes after the Clippers game and celebration, but people forget that two of those three still picked us to win the series only moments later.


Stephen A Smith said they win in 5 AFTER we won. A bunch of other guys barely mentioned us instead talking about how Memphis didn’t get it done. I haven’t heard one GD compliment for Finch yet. If this was last year and we were the Knicks he would be COTY. Winning 2 will force the ******* to acknowledge us.

Like I said, the cool thing about us winning this series is that we take all of the hard work Memphis did to build up their hype and we steal it. If we take them out, we become the young team that everyone gets excited about, pretty crazy but it would add greatly to our "legacy".

this has been a disastrous sequence...turnover on fastbreak leads to Grizzlies FTs and then unable to grab rebound leads to 3 more FTs

I'm OK with a one point deficit. This game stays close Memphis is going to be really nervous.

other than that hail mary 3 pt shot by dlo..he's on pace for another poor shooting night. way too many 3s..can't he take a couple dribbles inside the perimeter for a higher % shot. would rather he miss on a higher % shot than keep missing 3s. so far edwards not having a good game. if dlo can't shoot a higher % we're doomed. memphis bigs in foul trouble just keep attacking the rim and make sth happen.

I can't agree with the bolded part more.

Players have already become gun shy because of the heavy officiating, use that to our advantage.

We are facing adversity. 5 down and the Grizz with the ball. How will we respond?

10 down now. I'm slightly concerned. Come on Wolves. You are better than this.

Down ten and we are in the danger zone.
