Thought Captain Never Landed on the Moon was the favorite

That D White, not Mazzulla

 

[Kick-Stand]

That D White, not Mazzulla

Thought DWhite said Mazzula told him he believed the same shit

Mazzulla is hilarious, I could see him telling Derrick he agreed with him just to fuck with him

 

[Seventyniner]

Nah that means Gordon's gonna get knocked out for the season with desert fever

00 means Gordon will snap both Achilles tendons at the same time.

 

[spursistan]

Devin Booker has to be on "Washed" alert. Looked abysmal in every game these playoffs.

 

[Kick-Stand]

So this first quarter a sugar high or did Denver finally remember how to play basketball again?

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Wolves are going to get backdoor swept tbh. Damn shame about the injuries, wolves we're clearly in control of this series smh

 

[KDKSpurs24]

It’s all about taking this 1st punch. If Denver sees that Minnesota is still hanging around after 3 quarters they’re gonna get really tight

 

[STAT88]

At the refs sending McDaniels to the bench with 2 fouls in two minutes. At least try to make it look like it’s not the WWE.

 

[scott]

I think DEN and DET both still win their series, tbh

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Wolves are going to get backdoor swept tbh. Damn shame about the injuries, wolves we're clearly in control of this series smh

Probably not the correct term but whatever

 

[spursistan]

Wolves not going away. Impressive team resilience.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Fatheadddddd

 

[KDKSpurs24]

They took Denver’s best first punch. Wolves can finish this tonight. Denver is that bad/soft. Shocking

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Wolves need to cut the turnovers smh

 

[Lefty20]

Wolves fighting hard but making some dumb/lazy mistakes as well. Need to clean that shit up if they're gonna finish this without Ant & Donte.

 

[100%Duncan]

Randle has really worked out well with the identity of this team. Everyone thought that that trade was an L for minnesota initially (Donte is nice too)

 

[100%Duncan]

Just as I say that Minny losing non Jokic mins to Valanciunas

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Stupid ass wolves

 

[TAPS]

I know it's a bad series but they are still the defending champions with the probable MVP of the league, and the Thunder are still relegated to the Ocho network while Pistons-Magic and Nuggets-Wolves get prime time.

Crazy but it took Spurs 20 years to earn the right. OKC got a long slog ahead of them.

 

[BatManu20]

Valanciunas cooking Randle. He's way too small for him.

 

[ambchang]

Like I said, after this season's fiasco i'm sure he will cut it out with the burner accounts. Also, he would be joining a 60+ wins team with a clear alpha, and he's 40 years old. He's a psycho if he doesn't fall in line.

And truth be told, as long as his burners don't get leaked, he seems like a good enough locker room presence. He always said the right things when Westbrook used to sabotage OKC from within, and with the Rockets he had no problems untill his comments got leaked. His only true locker room beef was with Draymond, and we all know Green has problems with everyone.

He didn’t even support his teammates during the playoffs after Twittergate. What makes you think he was humbled.

 

[Bones]

Denver hates McDaniels more than they hate Manu lol

 

[Itzsoweezee]

this okc game is nearly unwatchable. There’sa foul call on nearly every possession

 

[ambchang]

Again, that shouldn't be a consideration. It's a very black and white rule. He either violated the rule and he's suspended, or he didn't, and he's not. Nothing else fucking matters.

Agreed. The league is a joke league now as it just arbitrarily changes the criteria and the punishments as it sees fit. If the league does not have clear rules, then the league can then suspend players the next time a similar situation happens.

Teams and players cannot operate under what the league feels like, or even what I think the league would do. The rule was in place to stop teams from making the situation out of control (managing 10 giants is easier than managing 30 giants) and more importantly to protect players. Gobert, plus a number of other players clearly left the bench and was in the middle of the area where the fight took place. It’s a no brainer.

The situation was more chaotic, multiple players unnecessarily put themselves in harms way. So what is the rule for again?
