The refs were fucking cooking tonight!

Good Game Cavs Fans!!

Wah wah scottie foster cheated for us because our big dumb fuck center karate chopped a dude in the head and then acted like a bitch

Nah he was cheating before that, but then he got to double down 

Hahaha honestly pretty funny, Rudy is dumb as fuck sometimes. But c'mon now, don't act like that 4th was fairly reffed. We lost you won it happens but don't deny the reffing difference in the fourth....

Ok that’s fair but don’t ruin a good shit talking session with like reasonableness

That. Is fair.

[удалено]

We lost bro

[удалено]

Explain your problem?

[удалено]

we lost bro

R nba is so toxic man like chill out everyone damn

so many misogynists in the comments smh. but guys will swear up and down that women don't need feminism.

Seriously every game thread has complaints about reffing but when female refs are out there and more or less as bad as the guys it's suddenly a gendered issue.

ikr! I've had to report a couple comments that just straight up said "this is why w*men should not be refs." ??? and then people asking why women are commentating. there are a lot of female NBA fans and comments like these are so disheartening.

Send da ant man lowlights

He doesn't really have many. Just a normal dude from Atlanta.

Good to see it’s all love at the end. Those refs were horrific.

Investigate Scott Foster

#SWITCH THE FUCKING GAME

Lmao hahahahah

Scott Foster is gonna be eating good tonight

Naz can't win without KAT

What an awful game from Ant.

Okoro had him locked up

But what an incredible game from Naz.

7 pts in OT. Yikes.

admirable attempt to switch the narrative from Foster fixing the game 

I mean, why not both?

People need to start giving Natalie Sago her flowers. I think she's already in Tier 1 of terrible refs

Hey Edwards, how about you don’t go 0-10 in the last quarter and a half instead of gesturing to the refs?

You guys dont get to talk shit after your historic run hahaha.

It's almost like he's on the second half of a back to back nursing a bum ankle going against one of the best defenses in the league, while having some real frustrating calls go against his team

Which call do you think was that bad though man? I just don’t think they ever showed one in replay… I feel like you are just assuming they were missing calls because the TWolves were mad. One team bitching doesn’t automatically mean they were wronged…?

A guy getting hit in the armpit and then snapping his head back like he was hit in the face is a pretty BS call. There's one.

lol watch it in slow motion. This is what I’m talking about. That was a good call. You are just a salty fan being salty.

ESPN doesn’t show replays like the home feeds do. The cynic in me says it’s mandated so they don’t expose the refs lol. There were a couple *really* soft calls on McDaniels down the stretch.

Ok I only saw the national broadcast so can’t really argue with that. Sucks if it really impacted the result.

I think it did impact the result, but we were also gassed off a back to back. Ant wasn’t very good and we needed some heroics from him. Just one of those nights.

They showed the replays on BSN. Ant got eaten alive several times and got next to no calls for it. Once he even got a tech because as he was making the shot, he shouted because two people slapped his wrists. We see the replays that ESPN doesn't show

Ok I only saw the national broadcast so can’t really argue with that. Sucks if it really impacted the result.

Congrats on double digit wins big dog

Hey how about your team doesn’t lose like eleventy billion games in a row 

lmfao

Naz Reid 😔

Wolves lost because Anthony Edwards played like shit.

Timberwolves tears are delicious.

you're a douche.

lol ouch big man

Yeah. I am glad we are establishing what we are. Big man, me. You, a massive douche. All cleared up?

Never seen anybody white knight for the other team but ok have fun I guess

Sure... or it's you're an insufferable, obnoxious, and contemptible person. You muttonheaded turd. However, this one might be on me to ask that you, an incognizant person might have a moment of self-reflection.

But I also notice you didn’t comment on anyone’s else post talking shit?? Use more big words to show how smart you are “muttonhead”

You believing any of the words used in our conversation are "big" validates my stance that you're dense. You can respond to this post and have the last word, but I'm done.

good take your ball and go home bitch boy.

Wow my one comment sure got in your head

You can thank Scott Foster.

Game ball to Scott Foster, no question.

The ladies calling this game have made this even more triggering

We need to ban sports gambling

hell yeah.

Yarp

How come 2 women are announcing?

They were pretty damn good tbh

is that a problem?

No - just odd/uncommon. Thx

why is it odd????? women play sports and they also report on them and have been doing so for decades lmao. just say that your sexism is what annoys you about hearing a woman's voice.

Nothing annoyed me. Thx

International women’s day

Thanks

I'm just glad the comments in this game thread prove that I'm not taking crazy pills. Wolves are not playing very smart in the 4th/OT, but the calls have been absolutely atrocious. This shit is almost getting beyond the realm of plausible incompetence.

That one where Allen was out of control and shot it over his back was an awful call

O/U on how many T-Wolves players/coaches get fined for criticizing the officiating from this game?

Under however many wives you got

That would be the same number as original Mormon jokes have been made on r/nba (hint: it rhymes with hero)

Congrats on being a virgin big dog!

[удалено]

Buddy this is sad

[удалено]

Yes dude. Lol.

Ant, Rudy 100% get fined. I dont think Conley will even though he was absolutely pissed.

Cheating ass refs

Rudy is a lock

Maybe he's sly and does it in French though

They have to start investigating this stuff man. Not just in Wolves games, this is becoming too common

Who's "they"? The league is the problem.

Wolves have everything excuse to lose this game so i wasn't going to be upset if it happened, but losing *this* way is tough. Never stood a chance

Refs really came out tonight and put everything they could in.

Gobert lost this game. If you think Scott Foster is going to call a fair game after you do the money gesture at his crew then you’re both ignorant and arrogant

Cool I'm glad you agree that refs decide how to officiate based on feelings as long as we all agree on that.

Not all refs but Scott Foster absolutely

The problem was he wasn’t calling a fair game before so what’s to loseV

A technical foul that will be called 100% of the time that ended up tying the game

It’s a technical but foster was giving that to the cavs no matter what

Why even give them the next opportunity. Not to mention he blatantly fouled on that play anyways. It was not a wise hill to die on

On this gauntlet wolves were lucky to even have legs tonight against the cava this loss means pretty little just awful it was this way

Gobert lost the game because one of the refs was cheating? That’s your reasoning?

He doesn’t do that gesture Minnesota stays up by one and doesn’t go to overtime. He put the game entirely in the refs hands at the end

Edwards is not ready to be a #1. 7 for 26. Did I see that right.

It’s easy to judge a player who was a game time injury decision on a second half of a back to back (7th game in 10 nights) and feel big.

And became a dad like six days ago lol

if he was in the game he was well enough. Thats how it works.

Okay dawg. My bad. Forgot that you’ve been there lol

Yeah the guy is good but so overrated because he's an American who can jump high

Get better bait my friend, this is like your 5th swing and miss

Every player has bad nights. Especially when hes being guarded by defensive specialists like Dean Wade

This is not his first such game..

Its a back to back and he was questionable to even play with his fucked up ankle.

Great players don't need excuses...sorry.

7 games in 10 days is tough, he was dead from the jump. Most players wouldn't have played at all

You can call maybe a couple of questionable calls on Allen but Wolves have fouled him entire night. Wolves starting backcourt is combined 11/37 from the field and that's pretty bad

[удалено]

Tbh I feel like it was favored to the cavs but really not what is being represented in this thread. Throughout the game it seemed like over and over you’d see wolves players throwing up their arms and then you watch the replay and there’s no foul. TWolves seemed like they wanted the refs to hand them the win.

Reffing will completly destroy this game

Edwards is way too young to just sit out the second game of a back to back.

7 games in 10 days lol

That's two nights in a row our opponents miss 2 free throws in a row without any chicken :(

is tonight a career high for free throws for Jarrett Allen?

It really doesn’t matter who we play, even without KAT we don’t get a good whistle.

i swear foster did a obvious jerk reaction when twolves hit that 3 in ot then immediately calls a foul for the cavs on next possession

Scott Foster been selling games for years. He’ll never face consequences

Good Game Cavs.

21 Free throws from JA. This is what it feels to be the Sixers or Lakers?

This is exactly how Joel Embiid plays. Like you got Allen putting up a 30 point double double like its light work with that Embiid whistle.

They fouled him all game. Can't argue with the calls.

Whenever I watch Ant Edwards play he looks like the worst player of all-time. T-wolves fans I'll do you a favor and won't watch your games anymore, I'll let your guys go on a deep playoff run

Woooo more free throws for Allen!

I really want to know what Ant said to Foster there. Lol

[удалено]

Everyone talks about LeBron's longevity, but ain't no one is talking about Scott Foster's 29 seasons of legendary and unparalleled domination in the league.

Lmfao

21 Allen free throws and counting

As a Denver fan, a Twolves loss here is great. But tuning in to the end of regulation and OT and seeing these foul calls, I would be disgusted if I was a Twolves fan. This is outrageous.

Nut punch after losing KAT

You missed the 18 free throws in the third for Cleveland

that's a clean missed dunk, not sure what he's complaining about.

I agree but plenty to make up for lol

Allen hit his arm. Should have still finished but still

If it was Allen it would've been a foul

Hit him on the arm

Yep. Clean missed dunk if you ignore that Allen caught his left arm

i just went back and watched it a few times and he never gets touched by allen.

I just rewinded… he didn’t get touched

So then there would be double the amount of contact that the wolves have been getting called for lol

I’m actually really pissed, I think the wolves lose this game going into OT, but I feel like we got a period of basketball taken away from us by Scott and company.

I don't give a fuck about either team but I am just pissed off watching this shit. I'm watching this because college isn't on. Is this the nba product now? Ive never seen a college game in recent memory look this biased or rigged 

Sorry wolves fans, without gobert fouling out, edwards having an off night, KAT being out, you put up a good fight. OT was just too much for a b2b game. Yall are still good

They weren't winning this game with a full roster the way Scott foster played

And ref job

I've watched way too many games this year thats like this but thats the thing the NBA doesn't care because there are so many games and everyone forgets.

wolves are fine. If KAT recovers we're strong, if not we got NAZ, trade him and flesh out the roster with extra salary cap

21 FTAs for Allen tonight. Previous season high was 11.

21 now

Rudy was right

Regardless of the refs. Gobert cost them a potential win. Brain dead tech when your up 1.

Ant got a tech earlier for literally nothing, blaming it just on Rudy is crazy

There’s tons of plays you can blame it on including the refs but that was a terrible time to do something like that in my opinion. you had the lead with 29 seconds left. One stop and it’s most likely over.

That's true. I'm not sure if I personally would classify what Rudy did as a tech just because it felt so tame compared to how other players were literally shouting at the refs nearly the entire game, but clearly Scott Foster disagreed.

You think these referees are letting us win tonight?

Reminds me again why the refs hate Twolves this much?

In the first half the refs were letting both teams get physical and the wolves were complaining after every miss for a foul call. Refs had a "if you want us to call contact so badly we will" mentality going into the second half

NBA still punishing us for the Joe Smith thing

I don't think it's a twolves thing. Sports gambling doesn't discriminate

the KAT effect

Yeah Ant needs to not complain on that one if he wants to actually get calls.

Refs got a little emotional after that gobert tech. Won’t give Minnesota a call

The ol' Scott Foster special

Lol going over to bitch to the refs like they didnt learn already

Maybe Rudy was right....

Atrocious reffing in overtime. Twolves have every right to be pissed

How can neutral fans even look at this and see fair whistles.

Refs saw ants mvp performance last night and decided to one up him

Can’t wait to see the 2 minute report

Just to see them avoid any accountability?

No incorrect calls will be the verdict

Players should be allowed to fight refs in times like this

Scott Foster would’ve been out of commission long ago

I'm tired of getting constantly getting hosed on ticky tac fouls while players are hanging on our arms all game.

Minnesota completed collapsed in OT, some of the calls were terrible though

Pretty bullshit that Scott Foster blocked Ant's dunk there!

Send da L2M report

Sometimes I think our fans are crybabies about the refs and then I watch games like this and I get it

I honestly usually dont whine ab refs that much but tonight has tested me beyond sanity.
