I think I knew the Wolves were going to win about 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter. That’s how bad the Turd Brothers™️ bench unit for Denver is. Wolves have the vastly superior team when Joker plays like Alperon Sengun without the post game.
I just wish he didn’t have a vote in this shit. Especially considering how in the bag with the gambling empire he is.
Finch using the presser to air preconceived grievances. So fucking tired of this guy.
Just 3 solid weeks of pandering for clicks that guy.
He’s been borderline OK in the past, but he’s been real real bad this season. And their bench with Val is even worse.
Rope-a-dope. He does it all the time.
F- Jokić game, he and Murray looked like they were on quaaludes the entire fourth quarter. Just a disgrace
I call their bench The Turd Brothers.™️
Simmons changing his MVP vote to get people to listen to his podcast is par for the course, but also crazy considering how god awful Joker has been on D since returning from injury.
Probably the best quarter I’ve ever seen Gobert play, after he had a stalwart Game 1. It’s crazy that the game was totally flipped when the Wolves went small and flipped again with Gobert just locking up Joker to close.
Ant injury stuff seems a little rope-a-dope. Wolves in 5. Blood in the water.
Yep, can’t do it when he also offers zero resistance at the rim against a much more athletic team. I’ve been confused by the whole strategy other than trying to feed Jamal’s/others confidence and preserve some gas in the tank.
I get that Denver finds a way and they have Joker, but I just don’t think they can go all the way with this defense. It’s so, so bad, and it’s the biggest knock on Joker against the two other MVP candidates. Just zero resistance on that end. And the bench? Eeesh.
It’s the most obvious call, and Finch repeatedly refuses to do it. Forced to tonight.
Wolves go small and run them out the gym. This is the way. The only way.
That’s Scalabrini. It’s Grady, Scal and Rivers.
Finch complains about officiating. Wolves decide to foul on every 3 point shot.
Strategy. Scheme. Excellence.
Now to turn to the Wolves game where Finch has ALREADY whined about the officiating BEFORE THE GAME HAS EVEN STARTED.
God the Knicks suck. Hate every dork on that team save MitchRob.
Serves em right to lose this game. Hawks rule!
NAW!!!!!!
I love this Hawks team.
Love a good Britt/Jan meeting of the minds.
Beef Stew’s dreads look like the wig Ice-T wore in “Surviving the Game.”
The funniest thing about Brooks is that he thinks all the glowering and mean mugging and shouting down 30 intimidates players. Nobody anywhere is scared of that weirdo.
Topic playoff minutes!
Isaiah Joe not being able to hit a single shot in the playoffs is one of the weirdest phenomena in pro sports. Dude is a regular season sniper!
Every AI commercial is like "Hey AI, what goes good on a sandwich?" and then the AI is like "Have you considered... cheese?" And then the narrator is like: THE FUTURE IS HERE.
"What me worry?"
As far as nepo babies go, he’s the one we should have promoted instead of lil’ Flip.
He has the best “smug faux confused” face in the league. Alfred E. Neumann shit.
I don’t think a coaching change will fix low bbiq and emotional immaturity stuff as that comes from Ant down. Maybe an organizational failure to not lock that shit down like OKC and SA do, but it’s a cultural thing at this point. Finch has plenty of egregiously bad scheme/prep stuff though too.
