Are there just no rules about stepping into the paint early on free throws? Gobert missed one, and the overhead camera showed a Warrior stepping into the paint waaaaaay early. Golden State gets the rebound. No penalty called. What the hell is this?

Are there any concrete rules on FTs?

Ant steps over the line before ball touches rim on every FT attempt and it isn't called. But if you tried to miss purposely and go into the lane early they call it.

One of the most frustrating things in all of sports.

Players can go in the lane after the ball is released. But the shooter must wait until it hits the rim.

The analytics give the Wolves a 29% chance to win tonight. Ouch.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 7:14:23 PM)

Who is the dude with the giant head mop on the ESPN pregame show?

Yeah. I meant to say they went into the lane before the ball was even released.

No dumb fouls tonight. I'm looking at you, Rudy Gobert. His 2 fouls in the first 2 minutes in Game 1 was inexcusable.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 7:29:04 PM)

Why can the networks show the coach's pregame speech on TV? Finch was talking strategy and ESPN showed it. Total BS.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 7:30:51 PM)

Totally unfair that they can award the MVP in a ceremony before a playoff game. Puts us at a disadvantage.

Dunno. I hadn’t noticed that. The refs probably give some slack, because most of the time it doesn’t result in an advantage and most of the free throws are made anyway. Nobody wants a violation called on a fraction of a second violation that results in no competitive advantage.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 7:49:09 PM)

Why no storyline about Holmgren being from Minnesota?

I got him tonight in my parlay. He needs 23+ points and rebounds.

Is that a storyline?



Karl Juhnke -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 8:49:01 PM)

McDaniels is an excellent defender, but putting him up against players who are experts at getting foul calls is just a bad matchup. He’s gotten multiple soft fouls guarding SGA because he just doesn’t know how to avoid them. Randle actually does a much better job at that. He recognizes the tricks.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 9:05:00 PM)

McDaniels is not playing smart. That should actually be a flagrant.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 9:07:00 PM)

We look like a JV team against OKC starters.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 9:09:11 PM)

That was an offensive push-off foul on Randle (vs SGA) that wasn't called on us. For the record.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 9:11:03 PM)

Sorry to say this, but we have nobody to match up on Holmgren. It's crystal clear.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 9:17:49 PM)

Is it just me or is Naz Reid overrated? All I ever see is a lot of missed wide-open 3-pointers.

He’s been inconsistent in the playoffs. But you don’t get NBA 6th man of the year for nothing.



twinsfan -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/22/2025 9:39:20 PM)

It's just futile. Totally outclassed. It is what it is. But it's humorous how the entire KFAN on-air talent predicted Wolves in 6.

Homerism. OKC is really good. I thought it would be a competitive series but gave OKC the edge.

I guess maybe that’s even a homer outlook.



Bill Jandro -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/23/2025 8:20:39 AM)

Finch needs to throw some of the young energy guys in. Dilly, Shannon, and Clark. Might give us a spark and change things up. Naz and DDV have been trash. Conley is cooked.



Steve Lentz -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/23/2025 9:03:20 AM)

OKC is easily the best team in the NBA. I was a little early on saying that last year. They are an incredible and deep team. Very well coached!

Like last year's conference finals, the bench is killing us. Naz hasn't hit a 3 pointer since game 4 of the semis. Donte just continues to do dumb things at dumb times. He was a team worst -27 last night. Not the playoff performer Knicks fans enjoyed last year.

I think Indy can beat them. They struggled with a depleted Denver team and Adelman outcoached Daigneault in a couple games.

They need to win it this year or next year because they can't keep this core together after that.



TJSweens -> RE: Timberwolves 2024/2025 Season (5/24/2025 9:02:41 PM)

That was a fun half to watch. The bench is back with Shannon getting in on the action.
