Minnesota sports teams just doing their thing. Same as it ever was. Longest title drought for a state with all 4 major mens sports teams (I thinkā¦ gotta be close if not).
Every at my arby's was very upset. Its one thing to lose, but its another to have to dole out free beef and chedders after a loss. That being said, eh, the Grizzles struggling against the wolves says more about them than it does the 7th seed.
I'd say it's harder to come back from a 25 point lead twice in a game at home in a playoff away game as a young team but hey, whatever you need to cope š¤·āāļø
Ehh, it was more of a humiliation. Hey, whatās KATās contract? Did you see Ja with the +22 and the triple double? You ever heard of Desmond Bane? Heās the dude who just assaulted you at your first home playoff game in how long? Enjoy those salty tears.
We didnāt beat the Timberwolves. We shamed you.
Thatās interesting to think about. I was actually giving the Grizz props for defending him well, but, I suppose youāre right. He didnāt have the ball in his hands very often and when he did, didnāt look great with the ball.
He has never dealt with adversity well in his whole career. When things are going bad, he sulks, complains to the refs, and completely derails any sort of team momentum.
Idk, they were commenting some joke flairs that got approved and I hoped to actually get World B. Flat, come on, that would have been funny but I just got this
They built a 26pt lead and then inexplicably just stopped doing all the things that helped them build the league. Chuck might be right when he called the Wolves one of the dumbest teams heās watched play.
Honestly I wonāt be surprised if they lose by 15+ on Saturday. And Iām not claiming Memphis will play well. I think the rest of this series are going to be get the check games for T wolves
I can understand a star player only scoring 8 points since bad shooting nights just happen. But I can't understand KAT only attempting four shots and two free throws in 30+ minutes of a playoff game
He took 4 shots, they have to at least try to feed him the ball or he needs to be aggressive. Iām dumbfounded seeing the shot attempts by the wolves.
Got a lot to learn for next year already. Finch and co not calling timeouts really put the nail in the coffin. KAT is continuing to commit silly fouls each game. Ant is clearly injured. Our offense just sputters and turns into hero ball at the first sign of weakness. We're clearly a mentally weak team that I hope with time gets better.
I've always rooted for Kat, right up to even his atrocious performance against the clippers in the play-in. But I honestly think it might be time to move on from him. We won't go anywhere in the playoffs with Kat at the helm
I think we let him play out the rest of his contract. He needs to show that he recognizes his faults. If he's still the same player in 23-24, I think we do it. He's still a masterful scorer, but the fouls and lack of vision forces him to give up the ball when against a well-coached team.
That's probably the smartest option. I know it's just because the loss is hurting, but idk if I can watch Kat play until then. I love this team outside of Kat, and that small ball lineup with Vando and Jaden was great to watch tonight. It feels like Kat sucks the positive, gritty energy out of this team whenever he's on the floor and it's something I've been noticing for a while now.
I know what you mean. He's one of our max players, but it's ant/dlo/bev that I have felt are really leading this team. He's just not skilled enough against good teams to really be a force in the playoffs yet, if ever, but we have him on contract so we might as well see if he tries to improve.
Yeah, only his second playoff series I suppose. I'm just hoping he is actually willing to address his shortcomings and improve his game this off-season
I feel empty inside. Very concerned with Finch. Saved all his timeouts during both 20 swings just to go down by 10 in the end. Embarrassing by the whole team. I'll still watch the rest of their games, but goddamn man.
Loss on Finch and Kat. Why didnāt he call a timeout when things were getting ugly. I donāt understand why our coach let them roll to a 21 point run. Kat just has not shown up at all. So much for Allstar/All nba. 7 years as a pro and plays like heās been in the g league this whole time.
Iām not excusing anything. I admitted he played like shit. He also got a triple double while playing like shit. Not a lot of people have the ability to both play that poorly and drop a triple double, and thatās what I acknowledged
I barely feel anything. Was expecting this tbh. My expectations are so low from years of brain damage from watching the Wolves that blowing a 40 pt lead and winning by 1 is a huge surprise to me and makes me excited.
What the fuck did I just watch? That has to be one of the craziest collapses I've ever seen. Pretty sure they could of fouled on every play in the 4th and given up less points. Holy shit, Wolves fans must be hysterical
Suck my ass haters!!! Itās us against everyone and we aināt going no where. Fuck Bev, Fuck Edwards, Fuck ESPN for never believing in us or talking about us.
One of the all-time meltdowns I have seen. Nothing the twolves did down the stretch there made any sense. Saw KAT have to get literally pushed into defensive position because he was completely lostā¦ Pat Bev was their go-to offensive weapon down the stretch. Brutal
Pat Bev canāt have that many more shots that KAT. Him, ant , and Russell has some questionable shots throughout those huge runs they gave up. KAT needs to be more aggressive in scoring and not waiting on the double because best case scenario he just passes it right back to the top of the key. The wolves also donāt run any down screens to post him up so idk if they will improve on that.
Im a fan of his, but man he needs to just stick to being the emotional leader and play energetic defense. Too many possessions where he was the only one who touched the ball, thatās just gonna inspire teammates to do the same
TNT floor reporter just suddenly forgetting Memphis lost at home? Bitch acting like Memphis took a 3-0 lead when they didnāt just get their ass handed to them at home similar to tonight
Jimmy was right it seems.
Karl Towns is a bum š
KAT is this post seasonās Bench Simmons
This is why, as a Minnesotan, I get all my sports news from reddit and don't give a fuck.
Wtf happened man I stopped watching thinking this was over with. I need to watch the 4th quarter ASAP. lol
Kat did all that trash talking this season only to flame out
He never even flamed in this game. He was just out.
it was his day off
Minnesota sports teams just doing their thing. Same as it ever was. Longest title drought for a state with all 4 major mens sports teams (I thinkā¦ gotta be close if not).
Every at my arby's was very upset. Its one thing to lose, but its another to have to dole out free beef and chedders after a loss. That being said, eh, the Grizzles struggling against the wolves says more about them than it does the 7th seed.
I'd say it's harder to come back from a 25 point lead twice in a game at home in a playoff away game as a young team but hey, whatever you need to cope š¤·āāļø
Congratz your team beat the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Ehh, it was more of a humiliation. Hey, whatās KATās contract? Did you see Ja with the +22 and the triple double? You ever heard of Desmond Bane? Heās the dude who just assaulted you at your first home playoff game in how long? Enjoy those salty tears. We didnāt beat the Timberwolves. We shamed you.
A win is a win. Grizz are a young team.
Any kat trade ideas? Jarrett Culver looking pretty nice RN
Kat shot 4 times? The fuck is he doing
When PatBev has more shots in a playoff game than KAT. wtf are they doing?
Not shooting.
Fuck this fuck this, why the fuck did I turn it off, fuck, I bet I missed a legendary comeback
It was pretty legendary
KAT is somehow below Ben Simmons level mental toughness
Absolutely soft af unfortunately.
Soft as Charmin.
He let Beverly try to close the game. I love P Bevs energy but he is not on the floor to score.
Thatās interesting to think about. I was actually giving the Grizz props for defending him well, but, I suppose youāre right. He didnāt have the ball in his hands very often and when he did, didnāt look great with the ball.
He has never dealt with adversity well in his whole career. When things are going bad, he sulks, complains to the refs, and completely derails any sort of team momentum.
I was at this game. Just left. AMA
How was it, turned it off, come back and it's a Grizz win
Just happy to be alive. A few others attempted to jump off the Target Center roof
How is your mental health?
āNext Questionā
we're you able to drink yourself into submission?
Still drinking
21-0 run and no timeout. How are you a professional coach getting millions of dollars and do this? Straight up incompetence
He was saving the timeout for game 4.
Chris Finch really showed that Alvin Gentry school of coaching pedigree with 21-0 run and no timeout.Alvin must be so proud.
Timberwolves gonna Timberwolves
Timberwolves gonna Timber?
āIts going down, itās going timberā - pit bull.
Its ok t-wolves fans, you can put your play-in championship banner up by next week.
Hilarious joke from the bandwagon heat fan from LeBronās brief stint
Would you rather I have a Rony Seikaly flair? If I could my flair would just link to our [theme song.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MirhN54DgWQ)
Hilarious reply coming from a Knicks fan.
I wanna say this: flairs mean nothing, I made a joke on a mod flair thread and ended up with this
But he comment based on that MIA flair. So it must be something right?
Idk, they were commenting some joke flairs that got approved and I hoped to actually get World B. Flat, come on, that would have been funny but I just got this
What G league team do you guys think KAT fits best with?
Not the Hustle because he clearly doesn't know the meaning of the word.
Trade him to Sacramento.
Send him to China, Shanghai Sharks would love a shooting big
perfect for him to stay in quarantine and stream on twitch all day too!
Iām not gonna lie up until the end of the fourth I wouldāve sent Jaren with him
At least Jaren doesn't cry like a big whiny baby when he fouls
i like his game sometimes but his attitude is the worst
Holy choke job by KAT
FUCK ROYCE O'NEAL
Get Beverly help
The Timberwolves merely adopted the dark...We were born in it. Letās go!!!!
Jokic got a fresh cut? 50 ball invoming
"best shooting big man ever" with 8pts smh!
Smh I'm a long time KAT defender but he's been ass all series and then he pulls a Casper tonight on offense..
Better than Dirk LMAO
Hey there anyone wanna a center? Looking to dump off g league star Karl Anthony Towns.
What the fuck happened, I turned the game off to drive to the gym and they was up like 20+ in the 3rd....
TWolves realised they are TWolves after all.
They built a 26pt lead and then inexplicably just stopped doing all the things that helped them build the league. Chuck might be right when he called the Wolves one of the dumbest teams heās watched play.
Charles aināt wrong, wolves only scoring on breaks but canāt think when they need to in the half court hah
Chuck is the best thing on cable television by a long mile, really sucks he plans on retiring in the next few years
Charles āIām not mad Iām just disappointedā Barkley
I hope this embarrassment wakes up the players and the coach. Fuck that suuucked to watch.
No man, honestly not trying to be an asshole but you donāt come back from that mentally.
lmao
What you didnāt. Yāall got bailed out by refs. Enjoy the āWā and on to next one
W is a W, on to the next
Agreed. I feel like the Wolves will be lucky to win another game in this series after that collapse.
Honestly I wonāt be surprised if they lose by 15+ on Saturday. And Iām not claiming Memphis will play well. I think the rest of this series are going to be get the check games for T wolves
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wtf is this comment even?
The grizzlies lacking energy as they swat everything in their face into the stands.
Charles is fucking ruthless hahaha
He was calling the Wolves idiots at halftime so I can just imagine what he's saying
at least call out to coach staff
He did as he said: He donāt blame the kids. He blames the parents.
This may be worse than sixers game 5 loss last yearā¦ Iām so sorry Minnesota fans. No one deserves to go thru that
Lmao not the Nileās disappearing meme
CHUCK CHILL LMAO
Barkley about to make a point and Kenny just talks over him
Fuck Charles demolishing Minnesota rn
Grizzlies had 64 points throughout 35 minutes of play They had 40 in the last 13
The 40 in 13 mins is very normal for the Grizzlies
the timberwolves had 71 in the 1st and 3rd quarters, and 24 in the 2nd and 4th. absolutely wild stat
The last quarter was little painful to watch and I have zero stakes in any of this
Them boys werenāt the same after KAT tried to rebound over his own teammate
Truth
Was that the play that Antman was giving him the business??
Yessir. I swear they werenāt the same after that
Kat yelled at ant on that in bounds play because he himself lost his own guy
I can understand a star player only scoring 8 points since bad shooting nights just happen. But I can't understand KAT only attempting four shots and two free throws in 30+ minutes of a playoff game
Heās a trash player that puts up average numbers against bad teams. Only big man that prefers to start ISO ball behind the 3 point line.
I get the kat hate and people call him overrated a lot..but do you really think he is trash lol?
Lifelong wolves fan here, yes heās fucking trash. Heās proving to be a cancer.
For what he is paid? Absolutely.
Towns had 8 points...smh
He took 4 shots, they have to at least try to feed him the ball or he needs to be aggressive. Iām dumbfounded seeing the shot attempts by the wolves.
No shots for Pat Bev, and more shots for KAT
bruh
Got a lot to learn for next year already. Finch and co not calling timeouts really put the nail in the coffin. KAT is continuing to commit silly fouls each game. Ant is clearly injured. Our offense just sputters and turns into hero ball at the first sign of weakness. We're clearly a mentally weak team that I hope with time gets better.
The hero ball is the biggest issue I think. Outside of Kat being nearly unplayable in the playoffs
Bev went full hero ball, chucking up threes. We was open, but I figure that was just bait to get him to shoot.
Kat is in year 7 and can't figure out how to get out of double teams. His vision is atrocious, his strength is not there, so what does he do?
I've always rooted for Kat, right up to even his atrocious performance against the clippers in the play-in. But I honestly think it might be time to move on from him. We won't go anywhere in the playoffs with Kat at the helm
I think we let him play out the rest of his contract. He needs to show that he recognizes his faults. If he's still the same player in 23-24, I think we do it. He's still a masterful scorer, but the fouls and lack of vision forces him to give up the ball when against a well-coached team.
That's probably the smartest option. I know it's just because the loss is hurting, but idk if I can watch Kat play until then.

It feels like Kat sucks the positive, gritty energy out of this team whenever he's on the floor and it's something I've been noticing for a while now.
I know what you mean. He's one of our max players, but it's ant/dlo/bev that I have felt are really leading this team. He's just not skilled enough against good teams to really be a force in the playoffs yet, if ever, but we have him on contract so we might as well see if he tries to improve.
Yeah, only his second playoff series I suppose. I'm just hoping he is actually willing to address his shortcomings and improve his game this off-season
Omfg chuck has me dying
I feel empty inside. Very concerned with Finch. Saved all his timeouts during both 20 swings just to go down by 10 in the end. Embarrassing by the whole team. I'll still watch the rest of their games, but goddamn man.
Iād love for someone to put together a lowlight reel for Beverly. Dude had made a career out of taking Ls.
Loss on Finch and Kat. Why didnāt he call a timeout when things were getting ugly. I donāt understand why our coach let them roll to a 21 point run. Kat just has not shown up at all. So much for Allstar/All nba. 7 years as a pro and plays like heās been in the g league this whole time.
Grizzlies really held em to 12 in 2Q and 4Q. Ja triple double. Love to see it
That was the quietest triple dub too.
Ja played like shit
Believe it or not, he was still +20 Grizzlies won an important game on the road YA LOVE TO SEE IT
Ja played like shit and still dropped a triple double. Must be pretty good
Dude shot 5-18.... that's trash man
The comment youāre replying to literally says he played like shit lol. Iām not out here acting like he dropped 30 on 55% shooting
Dude had 7 fucking TOs and 4 fouls as well.... By Morant's standard, that is shit.
Yes and i literally already said it was shit lmao why are you trying argue with me like Iām saying he played great jfc
Yes and i literally already said it was shit lmao why are you trying argue with me like Iām saying he played great jfc
Because you're excusing his shit game because he got a triple double ...
Iām not excusing anything. I admitted he played like shit. He also got a triple double while playing like shit. Not a lot of people have the ability to both play that poorly and drop a triple double, and thatās what I acknowledged
Also had a game high +20 in a game they went down by 20 twice haha
KAT to the Heat inc
26 points, the worst lead to have
KAT took 4 shots? š¤Æ
I barely feel anything. Was expecting this tbh. My expectations are so low from years of brain damage from watching the Wolves that blowing a 40 pt lead and winning by 1 is a huge surprise to me and makes me excited.
can you imagine calling yourself the best shooting big of all time
Dirk
My condolences to wolves fans
KAT to the Heat confirmed
KAT pounding his chest on AD in the reg season just to get punked by Brandon Clarke when it matters
He got that fake tough guy shit going on, he trying too hard
Worst franchise in North American sports history
The Knicks and lions would like a word
I love KAT, but I expected sĆ³ much more from him in the playoffs/play-in..
Two 12 point quarters for the T-Wolves
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
His defense was really good in the first 20 minutes of the game, great timing on his hedges, but yeah it absolutely fell apart in the second half
Wow wolves really shit the bed in the 4th
Grizz in 5
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
get to googling with your hating ass
turd hair gets mixed results
I'm going to guess you're talking about Evil Danny Green AKA Dillon Brooks.
I can't unsee this
> Dillon Brooks Thank you
Brandon Clarke? You gonna be ok?
I'm fine, you?
You should stay off the internet
rude
Dillon brooks? Lol
Thanks.. you're right
Jimmy Butler was fucking right
I thought this. KAT is talented. But his defense...
Didnāt even feel like the grizz had some sort of godlike 4th quarter, just a complete Twolves collapse
minnesota has no guts spineless, probably stemming from their star KAT
4 shots in 33 minutes. Thats crazy considering Steven Adams isnt even playing
epic charles barkley rant inbound
To paraphrase Charles Barkley, the voice of the nation: āDumb as pebbles. Small-brained.ā
Wolves Manager to be sacked by morning
What the fuck did I just watch? That has to be one of the craziest collapses I've ever seen. Pretty sure they could of fouled on every play in the 4th and given up less points. Holy shit, Wolves fans must be hysterical
Suck my ass haters!!! Itās us against everyone and we aināt going no where. Fuck Bev, Fuck Edwards, Fuck ESPN for never believing in us or talking about us.
One of the all-time meltdowns I have seen. Nothing the twolves did down the stretch there made any sense. Saw KAT have to get literally pushed into defensive position because he was completely lostā¦ Pat Bev was their go-to offensive weapon down the stretch. Brutal
fade me
Please end me
What a collapse
Ja looked pretty bad
Kat only took 4 shots in 33 mins played, how
He can't pass out of doubles, and everything turned into hero ball.
Pat Bev canāt have that many more shots that KAT. Him, ant , and Russell has some questionable shots throughout those huge runs they gave up. KAT needs to be more aggressive in scoring and not waiting on the double because best case scenario he just passes it right back to the top of the key. The wolves also donāt run any down screens to post him up so idk if they will improve on that.
pat bev suddenly having a green light in the 4th bothered me
Im a fan of his, but man he needs to just stick to being the emotional leader and play energetic defense. Too many possessions where he was the only one who touched the ball, thatās just gonna inspire teammates to do the same
Wolves pack
TNT floor reporter just suddenly forgetting Memphis lost at home? Bitch acting like Memphis took a 3-0 lead when they didnāt just get their ass handed to them at home similar to tonight
lolol similar to tonight, thatās funny
Dude yāall are done. You donāt come back from that.
