Wolves should have won this series 4-2
woulda coulda shoulda

T'wolves are playing with house money at this point, but is frustrating how we lose. But I can't complain, been an entertaining series with lots of high and lows.

I wouldn't object to trading D-Lo in off-season though

And, I mean, that really did swing the momentum, they were down like 11 and they ended up winning

Mehhh.

That cut it to 11 to end the qtr. Grizz cut into the lead sure.

But the Wolves got it back to 13 midway through the qtr.

I know because I live beat Memphis +575. Its the one luxury Minnesota sports provides me. Capitalizing on the impending meltdowns.

There was an interesting debate on the Dan Patrick show about whether or not that "Ja-breaker" dunk counts as dunking "on" someone or not.

DP said no because no one tried to block it, the defender was looking to take a charge. He cited the Dr. J dunk on Michael Cooper and when John Starks dunked on the Bulls entire organization.

Reggie said yes, and cited where Ja took off from and the fact that he did a bit of a windup before throwing it down.

Think I agree with DP.

I don’t agree with that.

Trying to take a charge is another way to contest the attempt. If the defender is just standing next to Ja as he flies by, that isn’t really getting dunked on.

But when he jumps over you and dunks it?

Yeah, sorry. You got dunked on. No way around that.

Meh, agree to disagree.

Dunking on someone just standing there with his hands at his sides is much easier than dunking on someone who's actually contesting the shot.

Obvious foul by kat. Very nice to see him not losing it over the call
