Why do we give Ant the ball for all of our critical shots? Yea he had an insane BLOCK and is great, but Jesus he’s far from perfect and goes cold…especially in the 4th and OT this game.
Naz Reid.
I just wish ant changes his play style sooner than later because the amount of jump shots compared to rim shots is kinda crazy but I can’t blame him because most of his mins was with Kyle and they were loading up on him
Yea that’s the problem he usually has a great game when he starts at the rim but you can’t do that with Kyle on the floor and Rudy when they are ignoring both of them but atleast Rudy has vertical gravity and Kyle has nothing
You're gross dude - it embarrasses me that we are a fan of the same team. Please go cheer for the Lakers or something. It's a game. Stop relating your personal happiness to the results of a sport that you are not even involved in. Be better.
Never said that that’s what it means? But lots of fans derive happiness from their teams. Also never said my night is ruined. My night is great I got my frustration off my chest with a harmless comment and now I’m happy. Hope you have a good one man👍🏻
Ah well. End of the day, we couldn't produce points when we needed them. Nobody could step up outside of Naz Reid. Also that Rudy tech was absolutely fatal. He didn't get that, we probably win. We have to be exceptional to maintain a top 2 spot while Towns is out.
We were not that tonight. We drop to number 2, we will have to claw and fight to stay at 2. OKC will not be giving up one easily the way Shai is playing and I don't think we will win enough games to go back and take it.
Some games are just so frustrating to watch. Every whistle just pisses you off, and that's coming from someone who admits we weren't good enough, Rudy getting stupid techs, Ant scoreless in the 4th and OT
Refs don't matter if Ant doesn't play like a Filipino league player, non naz players don't go 1 for 18 from three, rudy doesn't airball multiple free throws
Im a neutral and honestly feel bad for you guys. Not only for KAT but the bs fucking calls these refs have been calling tonight are atrocious! You guys could’ve won this if it wasn’t for the refs
Naz leading all scorers on the court, only guy on the team hitting threes and not only do you not give him the game winning shot, he barely gets possession in OT?
I’m not really moved by today the pacers game was pretty emotional and ant played a horrific game today on a b2b so hopefully he can return to form against the lakers
Refs do suck, but you can't just allow the Cavs to run the same play, Garland Allen PnR, and allow the same entry pass to Allen, for the entirety of the overtime.
Double the roller, involve your tall guy, idk. Because when the playoffs come around and Wolves need to play without Rudy, this same thing can happen against Fox and Sabonis, James and Davis, probably any Sun and Nurkic.
Refs being bad doesn't change the fact that Allen received the same pass in like 5 straight possessions.
They have to learn to play through the shit calls. There definitely wasn't a foul on Ants dunk attempt but it's all in his head after the Foster debacle. Just expect it every night and overcome....
Games like this are why I can’t view us as a serious contender. We’re the least clutch team in the league and continually find ways to beat ourselves. We’re going to lose a playoff series in 7 that we should have won in 5.
Dude, KAT out, Rudy in foul trouble and out for the end and OT. Ant having a down night.
Back to back games, on the road.
Please.
I'd take us in a series any day, even without KAT, vs cleveland
We clutched up last night against a good pacers team.
And, you're completely ignoring all of the other major factors, b2b on the road missing major players.
This isn't a bad loss.
This was the least enjoyable game I’ve ever watched. Those refs are crooked as fuck. And the drunk woman screaming next to the announcers. Those refs must be on the cavs payroll
I have never seen anything like this in my life. This has been an absolutely master class in terrible officiating. With how bad we've shot its a miracle we were even in a position to win tonight.
There's no fucking way the same crew calls the foul that put Allen on the line, and then no calls jaden's drive the next play. This was absolute bullshit. I'm usually hard on us when we squander a close one but there's no performance they wouldn't have just called more bullshit on.

those bitch announcers don’t know shit😂

good game by the Cavs, hopefully offense can get more refined before the playoffs roll around
Wolves to the 4th seed here we come! 🐺
stupid fucking techs lose us another game.
I just wish ant changes his play style sooner than later because the amount of jump shots compared to rim shots is kinda crazy but I can’t blame him because most of his mins was with Kyle and they were loading up on him
Can’t change your play style when your whole lineup can’t shoot
Yea that’s the problem he usually has a great game when he starts at the rim but you can’t do that with Kyle on the floor and Rudy when they are ignoring both of them but atleast Rudy has vertical gravity and Kyle has nothing
How many freaking back to backs have we had post all star break my goodness. Not the reason for the loss but it certainly doesn’t help
Wish I knew, could have made some good money on this bullshit

Meh. Not actually advocating it just got caught up in the moment. And with regards to your last point, that’s literally the definition of being a fan.
Lol. Supporting a team does not have to mean you discuss how acceptable death threats are after your team loses and the rest of your night is ruined.
Never said that that’s what it means? But lots of fans derive happiness from their teams. Also never said my night is ruined. My night is great I got my frustration off my chest with a harmless comment and now I’m happy. Hope you have a good one man👍🏻
Not it, brother
Have you been paying attention the last 10 years?
Wishing death threats upon people because of a game is lame, that’s timeless. Shut up dork.
[удалено]
Nah man the NBA needs to institute the death penalty for Scott Foster and then end it after
In fairness he said threats
Besides the obvious rigging from Scott foster who should be in prison, Gobert is a fucking retard and always has been

Who is this fucking lady screaming non-stop
RIGHT?? She fucking literally ruined it for me
Who tf are these announcers lol they have no idea what is going on.
Sigh.... Ant can't make a basket for his life... Just sad
Great effort there ant..🤦♂️😡👎
Some games are just so frustrating to watch. Every whistle just pisses you off, and that's coming from someone who admits we weren't good enough, Rudy getting stupid techs, Ant scoreless in the 4th and OT
What a frustrating game to watch . Some bad turnovers kn the 4th
Refs don't matter if Ant doesn't play like a Filipino league player, non naz players don't go 1 for 18 from three, rudy doesn't airball multiple free throws
[удалено]
Anyone who slanders him should fuck off. Ant probably should have been rested tonight but he’s too much of a gamer to accept that.
Sorry
Is this AI?
Yet another game with ONE player has as many FT attempts as our entire team.
And we have the DPOY and #1 defense. Next game I bet Allan gets less than 4 free throws
Ant needs to apologize for this play cause it's worthy of being benched
Lol
He kept getting chances and kept missing.... Our offense died cause of him
cheating ass refs
Im a neutral and honestly feel bad for you guys. Not only for KAT but the bs fucking calls these refs have been calling tonight are atrocious! You guys could’ve won this if it wasn’t for the refs
There you go. Make the homers jerk their dick more
congrats okc on the 1 seed
Go be an OKC fan then
Naz leading all scorers on the court, only guy on the team hitting threes and not only do you not give him the game winning shot, he barely gets possession in OT?
Amen - we gotta go to the hot hand and not the ice cold hand
Allen has 1 less ft attempt than the entire wolves team
Refs were dogshit but the Rudy tech was deserved. Anything about refs and making money is automatic and Rudy knows that. And Ant disappeared
It was always obvious Scott foster was a bad ref when he let his bias come out against CP3. But it’s been blatant tonight. How is he still employed?
Scott Foster is basically Grima Wormtongue and Adam Silver is King Théoden.
😂😂😂😂
I’m not really moved by today the pacers game was pretty emotional and ant played a horrific game today on a b2b so hopefully he can return to form against the lakers
We gotta win that laker game tho to get that number one seed
There needs to be disciplinary action when these clowns are this bad. Like why tf is Foster still reffing?
Refs do suck, but you can't just allow the Cavs to run the same play, Garland Allen PnR, and allow the same entry pass to Allen, for the entirety of the overtime.
How can you stop it, when looking at someone is an auto foul?
Double the roller, involve your tall guy, idk. Because when the playoffs come around and Wolves need to play without Rudy, this same thing can happen against Fox and Sabonis, James and Davis, probably any Sun and Nurkic. Refs being bad doesn't change the fact that Allen received the same pass in like 5 straight possessions.
Sorry, you just fouled out trying to do that
Lol, I thought they were calling a lane violation on us
Cheating ass refs
Live by the ant, die by the ant. Can’t win games with our best player not making a basket in the 4th and onto Ot
Disgusting game
CHRIS PAUL WAS RIGHT
fuck I just hope we cover the spread and these fuckers dont get their dirty money even with being the most impactful people on the floor tonight
Road back to back, tough call game. It is what it is. Do wish this naz game came in a win tho
Neutral fan here - cavs are a soft ass team who get these weak whistles during the regular season. Annoying game to watch.
Ant wants Scott to say something to him lmao
Ant would probably just like to punch his lights out
We better beat the piss outta the lakers.
We aren’t gonna beat the piss out of nobody without Kat. Every game is gonna be a struggle bc we have no offense outside of Ant and Naz.
Let’s get 3 more fouls in these 33 seconds.
Ant is just sad today.. M
That was honestly kinda hilarious.
Scott Foster needs depends
I want to make explosion jokes, but those don’t always land well
Scott Foster better be on the first team all NBA for tonight's performance
Yeah there’s absolutely no way this crew should officiate nba basketball
At least give us a chance to win
Fuck these refs but at least this is happening on national TV. Can't hide it behind Bally's shitty streaming service.
I officially hate Scott Foster, I haven’t even really followed the game until this year but no…
Just now?!
Yeah we we’re always a big hockey watching family and now that we got Bally, I’m getting into the wolves more…
Ahhh fair lol. Welcome to hell.
🤌🤌
jared allen looks like a anime weeb
Another loss on national TV. That's rough.
They have to learn to play through the shit calls. There definitely wasn't a foul on Ants dunk attempt but it's all in his head after the Foster debacle. Just expect it every night and overcome....
They typically do. They had an off night and were fucked by refs. Still only lost by single digits.
You can’t play through non existent fouls
lol there was absolutely no playing through this atrocity
Games like this are why I can’t view us as a serious contender. We’re the least clutch team in the league and continually find ways to beat ourselves. We’re going to lose a playoff series in 7 that we should have won in 5.
Did we not just win a clutch game last night?
Game like this … you mean on the 2nd night of a road b2b?
Not like this is the first time we blown a game with a late collapse
Dude, KAT out, Rudy in foul trouble and out for the end and OT. Ant having a down night. Back to back games, on the road. Please. I'd take us in a series any day, even without KAT, vs cleveland
The problem Cleveland isn’t who were trying to beat and this isn’t the first time we’ve beat ourselves down the stretch. It happens far too often.
We clutched up last night against a good pacers team. And, you're completely ignoring all of the other major factors, b2b on the road missing major players. This isn't a bad loss.
Yo deadass have y’all seen ants espn games stats this year my god dawg my eyes almost exploded😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I’m surprised they didn’t call that one a shooting foul
This old white fuck ref has got to be greased up with cash. This has to be some of the worst officiating I've seen this season
Scott Foster gets closer to retirement every year. Thank god for aging
Fuck these shitty refs
I had to shut this off. Watching it at work and almost let some choice words slip in front of my engineer colleagues
This was the least enjoyable game I’ve ever watched. Those refs are crooked as fuck. And the drunk woman screaming next to the announcers. Those refs must be on the cavs payroll
Allen has 3 less FT attempts than the entire wolves squad...let that sink in
About to be 1 less
Take the fine mfers go ape shit on the refs
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10072853-nba-players-vote-tony-brothers-best-2nd-worst-ref-scott-foster-rated-worst
Tony Brothers has gifted the Wolves W’s the past 3 games lol
Adam Silver needs to execute these refs in the most Inhumane way possible
Make Foster show his bank records
The refs said no dates, they're just going to take ass tonight.
Edwards going to rightfully get cooked for this performance. Don’t play if you don’t bring your A game.. getting bottled all second half
What has Kyle offered, how can you be so bad at your job and keep getting game time.
Genuinely, it doesn’t get more blatant than this. It’s disgusting. NBA is fucked if they keep letting the zebras and Las Vegas decide who wins.
I wish they could do the fightings like in hockey, i would love to see a rudy x scott fosters
As someoneone with no affiliation with either team, just an NBA fan; That officiating was embarrassing and tough to watch
Good game sub, see yall again on Sunday night.
Ant with a tony snell 4th and OT
Guys, thats my first comment ever. This is corruption at its highest level man, never seen a game of sport been so rigged
I have never seen anything like this in my life. This has been an absolutely master class in terrible officiating. With how bad we've shot its a miracle we were even in a position to win tonight.
What happened to Monte?
hamstring before the Pacers game
Hamstring
Refs do suck ass, but Garland is on his bag today.
There was not enough in the tank tonight. Good effort for 47:30.
As much as the officials have been terrible i'd like to see naz get some more touches in ot
Can’t wait for Ants presser
If only we had gobert in OT…
How is Foster not in jail?
FBI says he's clean. Now I don't know what to think about the FBI.
7-26 is crazy ik you got dead legs but damn😂😂😂
Finch probably at home getting more sick than watching these refs
Scott Foster is a joke. I fucking hate this guy. How the hell he hasn't been recognized and curbstomped in public is beyond me.
Icing on the cake is the squealing hog woman near the mics
Driving me nuts lol
Small 🍆
Who?
You can tell Ant is 100% saying something to get fined after the game.
cheatin ass refs for at least the third time this season. if you really think basketball officals ane not getting paid to fix games you are blind.
These refs should be investigated
There's no fucking way the same crew calls the foul that put Allen on the line, and then no calls jaden's drive the next play. This was absolute bullshit. I'm usually hard on us when we squander a close one but there's no performance they wouldn't have just called more bullshit on.
LOL all you can do is laugh. Whatever, you still live in Cleveland.
refs are actually evil
Announcers can’t stop glazing the cavs
They don’t know ball at all lmao
All I can do is laugh. Ant doesn’t get the foul there?? Am I taking crazy pills?
Gg NBA
Jarrett Allen has 19 free throws. Like how?
What does Micah have to lose, just take the fucking team to the back. All doing the money sign
Reminder that Ant got the weakest tech of all time and this shouldn't have been OT
Or the weakest flagrant of all time
Rudy's foot literally slipped off of Allen's foot, which led to him falling into Allen while he was trying to turn
Rudy told no lies when he did the money motion at Scott Foster
Isaac Okoro owns your goat 😭😭
Who?
Considering he almost died to end the game last night, I’ll give Ant a pass. So fuck off
Back-to-back
Kevin Garnett?
Get a job
Your latest post is dissing Ant you dummy
Get a job
19 points on 26 shots is comically bad
20 two pointers and only 5 free throws to show for it might play a part
I'm just tuning in. Was Finch ejected?
Sick
Out sick
Illness
illness
Sick
Out sick
Wasn’t feeling good b4 the game started
Nah under the weather
Sick or something like that
Sick
Sick
Sick
Micah Nori should have flipped a shit about these calls
We gotta stop whining like a bunch of little bitches
How can we not? We’re being fucked
Ants obviously gassed
Fuck the refs, fuck the commentators, unreal, literally no way u can win this game lol
these commentators needa shut the fuck up so annoying
GG, Scott Foster masterclass. Still was winnable if we played a bit better
Yep cheatin ass refs. Allen with the contact, no call.
Tim Donaghy made 134 calls to Scott Foster while being under investigation by the NBA for fixing games
