I wonder what all the NBA experts will talk about today? I heard 11 of 11 had the Fakers taking the series even tho Wolves were better in 90% of every statistical metric. Guessing it will be all day about why the Fakers lost and not how the Wolves won. 
Que all the LeBarn retirement speculation
Gobert needs to go…complete liability on offense and then gets T’d up to give the Lakers shots and a possession. Completely useless.
Welp, this didn’t age well
Luka is wounded and they settling for threes? WTF?
Time to attack, he can barely move!
Those Faker fans sure are quiet tonight 
3 point shooting is terrible or Wolves would be up by 20 plus. The refs tried to help by slapping 3 fouls on 2 of our starters super early but it hasn’t hurt yet?
Even Shaq is enjoying the offensive performance by Big Ru 
OG Kevin Harlan on the call with Reggie Miller for tonight’s
game 5 thankfully!
Doris and RJ must still be so mad they didn’t want to witness it live
Looks like fanduel has the game too so might have to watch that feed? Harlan sometimes is a little over the top on his calls but still one of the best.
Refs have been just OK in this series but I was not too fond of the TV commentary. Can’t stand those Laker homers calling the game. Would be nice to get another crew.
Series is far from over but sending the Fakers home would be satisfying on so many levels!
Nightcrawlers are already starting to peak out here in the metro. I’ve never noticed them this early in the evening before. Is it like farm animals where they start getting weird right before a tornado?
No kidding! I was finding them a few weeks ago in the yard but that was some hard work. Last night they were literally crawling into the garage so in the box they went. If only the fish start jumping into the boat like the crawlers
Any hail reports yet?
Yep, I just want a level playing field. That elbow LeBarn got in the back of the head was retaliation for the forearm he landed on JR in game 3. Shocking but no call on that and nobody talks about that but they were all appalled when Rudy did it to the king. It’s ok for him to get physical but when Ant bodied him, then he has a problem.
Rudy is easy to rip on but nobody will say he did not stick up for his guys. It has happened multiple times this year. It wouldn’t surprise me if some kind of altercation breaks out in game 5 but I hope cooler heads prevail? Wolves used to be the dumbest team in the league but getting rid of Towns should help the BBIQ and not have anything dumb happen?
No preferential treatment at all huh

For the casual fans, Wolves have the greatest play by play and it’s not even remotely close!
Grady and Jim Pete are 1A & 1B and to not be able to hear them call the game is a disservice. ABC and ESPN crews are an embarrassment to the league but it’s OK. They get paid to talk up the Big market teams, nothing new. It will be awesome to hear Grady call a game in the future tho….can’t wait!
Don’t worry Dutch, nobody cares about meaningful baseball in April. Those pups you hate on are pulling all those resentful Vikings fans in because they have nothing else to cheer for other than a stupid draft and who the backup QB is.
There are like 5 Wolves fans here but tens of thousands nationwide ready to pounce after 3 decades of pain and suffering. It’s awesome to see the Wolves persevere.
Enjoy the baseball! I’ll check in around September and see if there are any meaningful games to be played. Hopefully they pull out of the gutter.
You’re referring to 5th cut at least that’s what I call it. I wouldn’t try 4th cut until we get some higher water but that’s me.
Fun fact LA just set a record by playing the same 5 for the entire second half. You could see the legs were gone on Luka. Fakers have no bench like we all knew, well all that weren’t listening to all the experts anyway
Man it’s fun watching these pups mature before my eyes! Keep doubting them……PLEASE
He’s the only DPOY that’s a liability in the playoffs. You can’t have your third highest paid guy getting his minutes curtailed because of matchup issues.
There were also matchup issues last year against Dallas and Denver so his regular season accolades don’t matter. There are plenty of guys we could go get who can play both ends. Rudy isn’t the answer.
That’s your casual opinion just like all the experts on record.
I agree he makes too much being so one dimensional but this team is deep enough to not have it be a factor. Next year may be a different story but we good now. I have watched every game the last 3 years so I see the impact he brings. He has terrible hands and needs to catch it high and stop dropping the ball to his waist where defenders are slapping it any chance they get. He is getting frustrated because of it but I believe in Big Ru and so do his teammates.
Gobert needs to go…complete liability on offense and then gets T’d up to give the Lakers shots and a possession. Completely useless.
Where do you want him to go? 4 time DPOY is not useless
He will make an impact yet don’t worry. It’s a matchup issue vs. LA. He plays well off the screen game with Conley. Rudy is too big to keep up with all the wings and Conley is getting hunted on defense. Both are getting 20 minutes a game. Sounds like great coaching by Finchy to me?

No that’s how it works. I don’t think King James has even been whistled for a foul the entire series. It took until 3:09 of the 3rd quarter in game one before they called the first Laker foul. It’s preferential treatment by the league because they want Luka and LeBarn to make a deep run. Big market equals big money for the league.Why do you even watch nba if you’re so convinced it’s rigged? How do you even enjoy it? Do you think only some parts are rigged? Are our wins legit? It’s only rigged when it goes against us? The nba couldn’t possibly see ANT as a rising star and a cash cow in his own right?
As expected we outlasted them in a dogfight. They play the same 5 guys the entire second half while we have a fresh Naz to torch em.
Not rigged. Preferential treatment for star players? Did you not notice how even those robot announcers refused to see the slap across the wrist by LeBarn? Wolves will still send the Fakers packing even with help from the refs!
How fitting.
It took a replay to get a foul called on LeBarn and get the dub.
LeBarn on pace for like 40 free-throws, just ridiculous! Target center is absolutely rocking tho so got to love that
Was it just me or were the lakers getting every call and twolves couldnt get a foul called? They were getting hacked

Wolves are about even this season home and away so it has never felt like home court advantage but if there is anything to hang your hat, Lakers are the worst road team out of all the playoff teams in the West so there’s that.
With that said, they will probably lose Friday at home and then take the next 2 because that’s how it works. We’ll see?
More proof of the flopping! That man Bron funny 
I love listening to games in the boat but I’d rather listen to the waves these days. They have done nothing to get me excited this year.
Enjoy the games brother, I will be looking forward to cheap tix this summer taking my kid and her friends! Somebody gotta pay down that Pohlad debt. I’ll chip in $40!
Who said anything about a sweep boss? I said the wolves are a deeper team who stole a road win tonight and should win the series. If I had to guess I’m saying wolves in 6 but I think 5 is just as likely as 7. But you’re the dude with the logo next to his name!
Let’s not outkick our coverage
Reid and McDaniels were both so good. Fun game.
Wolves should win this series especially now that they stole a road win. Their stars can match LA’s and they are so much deeper overall. Was fun seeing Reddick run 3-4 different defensive schemes with the same results from the Wolves offense.
that’s not how it works unfortunately. I would love to see a sweep and it may happen but the big market will not appreciate those ratings so this will go 7.
it’s meaningful games for the pro NBA and NHL teams. I love baseball but there is no way anyone even cares about what this dumpster fire team does.
Randle has to stop giving the ball away. I think he had 6 or 7 turnovers all by himself. That is insane. Everyone else played solid.
nerves probably but he was 4-6 on threes to make up for it. he is the least of our worries. Rudy was not a factor at all and still was +14 so he is a factor.
BIG JELLY is the MVP for this one!
see ya Tuesday
If Jaden & Naz can continue to play & shoot like that… look out!
Big Jelly found his ol self and we will need him bad in this series.
we can only hope all the refs call it like Marc Davis but we will see where the money is at.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
FK LA
that’s all I got
what will all the experts talk about tomorrow
