*narrator*: they did not get a strong start to the third quarter

Why has nobody clobbered this SGA guy yet? Flopping like a fish again getting calls

Honestly, give him a foul to remember 

(Caveat: not advocating violence, and maybe someone has already done that; i don’t follow this super close)

I’m surprised I saw a lot of chatter talking about the wolves winning this series. Absent the bias I have with the twins or Vikings, it’s easier to evaluate these two teams and I don’t see anything the wolves have done better than OKC, through almost two full games now. Too bad they couldn’t get home with at least a split. But this one appears to be over.

[Vanimal46]

Tough watch here. Going down 2-0 is a steep hill to climb 

[Vanimal46]

Ant needs to put the team on his back but he’s been a ghost so far 

[Aggies7]

Jeeze this is a beatdown 

[Aggies7]

That place is rockin. Oo wee

[Vanimal46]

That was a terrible conclusion from that challenge FYI 

[Vanimal46]

Hard to imagine a worse 3rd quarter than that.

This feels like a series where Shannon and Clark need to get off the bench.  At this point Donte has played himself out of the rotation, he's been AWFUL.  Put Clark in.

And we need Shannon's reckless abandon runs at the net.  We have only Ant and somewhat Julius playing at the basket right now.  Put Shannon in and let him play his style (which I liken to what I imagine someone who just took an inhuman amount of cocaine would do if they could be a pro basketball player) and see if it shakes this up.

Looks like the Minnesota drought will continue yet another season 

     Hard to disagree.  It looks like OKC is the better team in this NBA finals series, doubtful the Twins will do anything meaningful when the big games come and rookie (essentially) quarterbacks NEVER make the Super Bowl.  34 years.  Way past insulting at this point.

He has been a human torpedo so far tonight!

He seriously plays like a freaking maniac.  He's so frantic defenses just get flustered.

The Wolves won't shoot 50% from three, but maybe we can find the happy medium after tonight.  I definitely like the fact that we're daring SGA to shoot long twos.  We're giving them nothing to work with low.

[Aggies7]

Just got in from eating a bunch of wings. Wow what’s happening here 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I think we are winning.

By a smidge.

But i'm told i should start paying attention in the 4th quarter, and it's not here yet.

 

I think this is the only game slated to be broadcast locally for me? (as distinct from cabled)

[Aggies7]

Things are getting closer 

[Aggies7]

Nevermind 

[Aggies7]

Wolves can’t miss tonight 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Is it the 4th quarter yet?

[Aggies7]

42 point lead is crazy

Not yet. It’s not 1000% in the bag yet you’ll have to wait to tune in

6 touchdowns...

Sadly, nothing carries over into the next

game, or decides a tie breaker later on.

ps: also the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

It's the only way to slow him down. If he's going to kill you with long twos, so be it. It's the lowest upside shot you can force him to take.

[Vanimal46]

OKC is smothering Ant. 2 shot attempts to this point 

[Aggies7]

Wolves rebounding is terrible 

[Vanimal46]

Tied up let’s go!!

[Aggies7]

So many turnovers 

[Aggies7]

Every time the wolves get close they give up a run

So many offensive rebounds given up by the Wolves too 

[Aggies7]

OKC just doesn’t miss.
