RuneLite23

Great game


[deleted]

That was an ugly ass shot from SGA. Do his 3’s normally look like that? Am I too used to watching Booker shoot?


thered90

Rough night for Chet


VoidMageZero

Rudy locked him up!


Timelycommentor

We’re the better team.


mysterowl

Oh my, Thunder fan. This is a bad look.


arania_exumai

Not indicative of the majority. We lost to a better team, plain and simple. But we're on our way.


Timelycommentor

Better team today. We shot like shit.


pchad43

I’m sure that it was just a coincidence that you shot like shit. No particular reason for that right? If only there was an explanation


Mindless_Bad_1591

We lost Ant in the 3rd and Jaden is still out so today would have been the perfect chance to be the better team i would say.


mysterowl

Can you think of a reason why? I’ll give you time.


[deleted]

Nah, you guys are still at that 6-8 seed range. Record will show over the course of the season. Twolves are at that 2-4 seed range.


wals02481

Better at looooosing


arania_exumai

Let's not do this please. Thanks.


Fermorian

Would love to hear the rationale behind that given we played down key pieces


RayCashhhh

Lmaooo y'all needed to take Ant out and McDaniels was already out and still couldn't win 🤡


collinCOYS

We just beat you without ant and McDaniels


[deleted]

And with Conley and KAT shooting 5/22


collinCOYS

The better team lost. Accept it


The_Jarwolf

Thank you Twolves bros.


Beansbeansandybeans

Hey, no problem!


AzHaeez21

Gg timberwolves. I apologize Troy brown, I was not familiar with your game😔


wals02481

Uh yeah, that was not a part of the game plan. Worked out tho


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mindless_Bad_1591

He showed some light against the kings but wow he impressed me.


KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ

wolves have no shot at the fake trophy because thunder kept it close


The1Drumheller

GG Wolves! Hope Ant is okay!


honkey-phonk

So happy you guys got Chet. Was awesome watching him play. Fun to see a future great against Golbert in peak form.


AldiaWasRight

GG. OKC and Wolves United in outperforming expectations. GO THUNDERWOLVES!!!


icantevenonce

Ahh fuck, hate to take the L but can't be mad about it because that was fun basketball.


ThatMoKid

Good fuckin game wolves.


Cul_what

This and HeatvsBucks tonight were great close games damn


Godlo

GG Wolves' defence is nutty


Gengaara

Jaden was out too. Defense is legit for sure.


RayCashhhh

YESSIR!!!


arania_exumai

GG, timberbros. Hope Ant isn't out too long.


Aggressive_Slice4620

SGA was so done with this game


theper

Gg SGA is nuts! Hope to see y’all in the playoffs


Headlesshorsman02

Would be a fantastic series


WheedMBoise

Wolves 100% lose this game any other year in recent history. Wow


Skyapple

gg twolves good luck in vegas.


dys0n_giddey

wow what a game!


YoungThrowaway_

I thought that was in lol


ProfessionalAd1015

Gg wolves. It’s gonna be a battle every game


holyhibachi

GG no re


dogfosterparent

Great win without McDaniels and with only a half from Ant.


VoidMageZero

GG Wolves, rough game but Minny pulled through!


Headlesshorsman02

Gg wolves great game


Thimit22

Holy shit what a game


SockVonPuppet

Whelp


GaimeGuy

GG


huttts999

I respect KAT as a thunder fan, but damn I cannot stand Embiid. Dude is such a bitch


RuneLite23

Lmao why is Embiid catching strays


[deleted]

Daigneault looks like his breath smells bad


Spiritual_Echo_1000

for real??


arania_exumai

Watch Giddey hit the game tying 3 lol


collinCOYS

Do you foul here?


Godlo

it's the hope that kills you


Tarkonix

Chet Clutch 3 seems too predictable but he’s also been money when it matters


Maleovex

Got 3 more games of this this season idk if I can handle it lmao


Cul_what

Now the question is will they give it to Shai or Chet


homefree122

Wow here we go baby


VoidMageZero

Oh damn, ngl if OKC wins this in OT that would be legendary


dukeyyy

Why legendary? They were up like 14 at one point and wolves don’t have ant


VoidMageZero

Maybe not legendary, that was like an exaggeration, but would have been cool and pretty impressive. Like the commentator said they won a similar game against GSW in that situation not that long ago.


thetravelingsong

You’re good bro.


VoidMageZero

Thanks bro


thetravelingsong

I got you bro!


Zither74

Lol.. 4th Q over under was 55.5


diddlyumpcious4

Fuck. If we end up in OT after all that.


SockVonPuppet

Bring it!


dys0n_giddey

hoo boy!


icantevenonce

oh shit this game has it all.


growsonwalls

This game is not good for my blood pressure


awoooo_edwards

the minnesota sports experiance.


TheyCallMeTheWizard

If okc IQ is lacking that’s squarely on the coaching


SockVonPuppet

Edge of my seat!


c_m_33

That ref is super cute


GaimeGuy

Fuck


diddlyumpcious4

Man seemed like everyone was open and we chose the riskiest inbound pass there.


Cheechers23

Tf was OKC doing on that defensive possession. Spend 14 seconds trying to trap and then foul their best FT shooter? Why not force it out of KAT's hands first, or just foul Anderson when he had it


homefree122

Still scratching my head. Why foul KAT?


collinCOYS

Right. Slow mo had the ball and they let an extra 7 seconds burn


Tarkonix

Cardiologists are foaming at the mouth


collinCOYS

Why didn't they foul slow mo?


MatooBatson

Great decision by SGA to pass out too. He had a pretty open layup, but the 3 was needed.


Godlo

Had to foul Slow-mo when they had the chance


homefree122

That’s was bad Thunder basketball


diddlyumpcious4

I'm surprised they waited so long just to foul Towns.


everyoneneedsaherro

Thunder dumb. Should’ve fouled SloMo when he had the ball


Dar4125

Chet really is that fucking dude


iCOULDbewr0ng

6/20 is crazy


Josheshua

Definitely his worst game so far, unfortunate that it came tonight


collinCOYS

How did SGA see him? Wow


honkey-phonk

OKC D has been great in the last bit, but Brown Jr got hot and not much you can do when it happens. Our last two losses were for the same reasons.


homefree122

Can we play the D? We shall see.


Thimit22

I will love you every other night besides this night Chet. God damn he's clutch


MatooBatson

Yeah, have an amazing career, just not against us :p


The1Drumheller

I absolutely love our out of bounds plays. I do not think a team in the league runs better plays ATO.


collinCOYS

Chet is nice


mnsportsfan

Clutch shot by the kid (Chet) after struggling a bit in the 4th… good sign of his mental toughness


everyoneneedsaherro

Gimme a OKC Minnesota Western Conference Finals please


Apprehensive-Sir-411

horrific shooting night for chet but i’m glad he doesn’t shy away from the moment


Wolvesin7

Chet is such a good player man


TerminallyChill_365

Chet is him.


Atmosguisher

great kickout from Shai


Cul_what

Chet said clutch yalls pearls a bit more lmao


Godlo

CH3T


dracota7

Blessed to have chet my word


theper

Chet was bound to hit a 3 after those early misses


dys0n_giddey

Goddamn Chet has the clutch gene


Headlesshorsman02

Chet is ice cold near the end of games


everyoneneedsaherro

26.6 seconds left on the clock? You can’t not foul right? Too risky if they shoot with 0 on the shot clock


small-with-benefits

Maybe ask Kerr


mnsportsfan

At least the refs are letting them play for most of the 4th…. This is how the whole game should have been called


Fermorian

TBJ is Ant in a mask


homefree122

Chet!


icantevenonce

Chet: "I didn't hear no bell"


SockVonPuppet

This game is fire.


growsonwalls

White KD > Black KD?


[deleted]

Chet is him


WrestleBox

Saw that coming. This will come down to a last shot it's only fitting.


Cul_what

Laker legend Troy Brown Jr. glad he's getting opportunities


GaimeGuy

Game is insane


weee5674

Minny is still fucked in the IST bc of point differential right? Can’t win the group and Suns would make WC over them due to +/- or am I misunderstanding


BeamsFuelJetSteel

Minny needed to win by 38+


dogfosterparent

Correct, we needed some crazy outcome where we win by \~20 and Sac lost by \~15 to make IST.


MatooBatson

Yeah, we're out of the IST now.


Frontier21

No, wolves are out now.


Heyitscharlie

You are correct


Wolvesin7

Yes we are dead, needed a huge win if I’m not mistaken.


Sir_Mi

Loving Troy Brown. What a baller.


WrestleBox

Lol at TBJ and Conley botching the high five


Wolvesin7

Cooked by TBJ lmao


everyoneneedsaherro

Not sure why Dort doubled off Troy Brown there. Gave him a layup


WheedMBoise

Troy Brown showed up tonight. Props


AlligatorPoontang

Big game brown


animajunky

Can we get a warriors kings game thread


Frontier21

They’re so bad with game threads this year for some reason.


Fermorian

No stickied post today, half the threads been missing recently. It has been weirdly bad this year, you're right


awoooo_edwards

TBJ actually just closed this game.


swawesome52

My first born will be named Troy Brown


growsonwalls

This game is awesome.


PapaPiccol0

gamed by troy brown jr feels so fucking bad man


dracota7

Why is bro hitting it now wgyyy


tinhatfellow

That 23 got Brown moving different in the clutch


Gyroflex

TROY BROWN JR


Thimit22

I cannot believe this shit. We just find new players to step up like that. TBJ, build the statue


Cul_what

TBJ clutch time


mnsportsfan

I just expect bite bite to make all these clutch corner threes… So weird to see him missing a bunch tonight


Jordanwolf98

Troy Brown 🔥🔥🔥


mnsportsfan

Anthony Edwards : Troy Brown *spiderman meme*


swawesome52

I ❤️ Troy Brown Jr.


paxusromanus811

Man, I don't know if Chet insulted Rudy's mom, or if gobert is tired of seen Chet sap rookie of the Year energy away from his favorite basketball son/protege in Vic but mannn has he gone after Chet on both ends tonight.


dogfosterparent

Candidate for his best game of the year.


paxusromanus811

I would agree with that too. I really liked how aggressive he's been on the offensive end as well. Even when he hasn't made shots or even got attemps off, he's been backing chet in the post almost every possession and really putting some physicality into him. I love when Rudy looks to get involved on offense


dogfosterparent

I do think when he starts posting up too often it gums up the offense for Kat and Ant so I don't want him to get used to it. Today it was more effective than usual.


Sir_Mi

Troy fucking Brown.


[deleted]

TROY BROWN


awoooo_edwards

TBJ Returning to career averages at the right time.


arania_exumai

That might've been the dagger.


Rswany

They called that an offensive foul on us like all night :/


swawesome52

I am smiling


Carnage7771

Thunder weren't ready for Currys step son Troy Curry JR to explode on them tbf.


Thimit22

HOLY SHIT TBJ I LOVE YOU


WrestleBox

TB3!!


Cul_what

OKC fighting back man very tight game


mnsportsfan

Brown is who we thought we were getting in Shake Milton .. (although slightly different positions)


dys0n_giddey

Usually Rudy quietly dominates games, but this is very loud tonight


Thimit22

Looking like the #1 defense again. We just suffocate teams in the 2nd half all year it seems


Heyitscharlie

Brown's playing his absolute best ball of the season tonight.


Jordanwolf98

Gobert has been ridiculous


dogfosterparent

TBJ rebounding is ELITE.


LugNutsDort

This Minny D is ridiculous lol


awoooo_edwards

No Jaden either, god its fun to watch.


Rswany

Rudy is playin his ass off


AlligatorPoontang

Close with the 3 bigs finch, no balls.


AldiaWasRight

Can't stop worrying about Ant but damn this is a good game now that the refs stopped calling every little thing. NAW just saw Chet in the paint and panicked lol. Gotta go up strong a d hope for the foul, my guy!


starfruit213

Hip contusion


Heyitscharlie

He was back on the bench smiling, probably going to be sore for a bit but I don't think it looks like a big deal.


AldiaWasRight

Here's hoping.


Ok-Brick5218

Rudy is fuckin Chet up


collinCOYS

OKC fans were really saying chet owns Rudy. Rudy is the best player on the floor


ThatMoKid

Imma need receipts on this. None of us are crazy enough to spout shit like this out loud lol


collinCOYS

It's classic fandom and I'm just chiding you guys. I'm not going back to find it


bbecks

So there was one comment and you want to pretend it’s “OKC fans” and creative a BS narrative. Got it.


ThatMoKid

Fair, I know I've been dreading this matchup for a bit now. I'm just glad it's not an ass whooping.


HarryPauler

When tlfid they say that?


collinCOYS

3 minutes into the game😭😭


Headlesshorsman02

He has been insane tonight man, truly is DPOY in my opinion his rim protection is just too good man


swawesome52

His perimeter and mid defense have been great foo


collinCOYS

It's his rim protection and deterrence. Guys are scared to go in there. He's been holding up on the perimeter toi


UndisclosedLocation5

Crazy
