Series Thread: Western Conference Finals: (1) Oklahoma City Thunder vs (6) Minnesota Timberwolves

Smart foul by Dort there

Such a terrible foul there.

First one especially.

You have to run clock

Did you not see game 1 of the Denver series? This is what they do. This is the one team where you can probably get a shooting foul in that situation because there is no thinking as they are fouling immediately no matter what

 

[bksballer89]

No timeouts and you let SGA get the ball so easily?

 

[msgkings322]

Endings like this of just fouls and free throws. No idea how to prevent it, but it's a drawback...then again there is some tension and drama each time they are at the line so

 

[bksballer89]

lol this such bad coaching. Knowing okc going to foul there you don’t have anyone setting a screen to free up ant

 

[bksballer89]

There’s way more than .1

 

[Mebert]

That was a fun game to watch

 

[Jordan23]

Ouch. Wolves screwed on the time left

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

Great game but this series is effectively over.

I know.

I hated it then, I hate it more now after watching that one.

 

[thunderc]

Well it worked this time

 

[bksballer89]

18 points from your top 2 in a must win game

13 shot attempts from Ant

A disgraceful performance from their big 2

 

[msgkings322]

Great game but this series is effectively over.

Feels like the title is a fait accompli to me

 

[Mebert]

Randle and Ant not showing up for this game is a tough pill to swallow. NAW may have guaranteed his optout

 

[Jordan23]

There’s way more than .1

Yeah they got fucked. Should have reviews for time and had .5-.6 and an easier shot

Nah.

No effective difference between .3 and .5.

Catch and shoot either way. Minnesota didn’t get the ball in to get a shot off.

 

[bksballer89]

77 points from DD, Reid, McDaniels, and NAW

You can't lose game when you get that from those 4

I'm a big Ant fan but I don't want to hear anything about him until he performs more consistently in the WCF

 

[msgkings322]

I'm already sick of the aw shucks choir boy squeaky clean Thunder lol

They gonna win and be all cute and together for every interview and bad commercial and on the talk shows and oh aren't they cute and sweet and they play the right way and always say the right boring things lol

And I picked em to win! This is a great team having a great season, just saying the Angel Kids bit is already old

 

[bksballer89]

To be fair, I doubt they go lob if it's .4 or .5 left

I know they say you can technically get a shot away with .3 but I have never seen anyone actually do that. I think with .5 they try to get it to one of their shooters and not the obvious lob they had to do with .3

I think the refs got the call right because had the fan not caught the ball then it would have been .3 or so left

2 years in a row he is clearly not the best on the floor and gets outplayed. That was against Doncic and the reigning MVP, so it is a little understandable, but he has played well below the other teams star.
