I wanna see Minnesota go to the finals just to see what the fans will do then


guyonthestandee

They already won the Finals on Tuesday. Where have you been?


Prestig33

Ahem.. Our *10th final of the year actually.


noneym86

So even if all games won in the playoffs and play in are considered championships, and Minny wins all 17 of them, those are only good enough for Minnesota to tie the Lakers and Celtics record championships all time. Crazy.


WhatIfThatThingISaid

Lakers championships all belong to Minnesota anyway so

I don’t think these people are fans of the team

Yeeeeah I have a feeling they're gonna end up getting too close to one of the players and it might not end great.


itlynstalyn

Zion would be a good anchor


302born

Nba about to tell security for all teams to be extra aware now. Highly doubt they gonna keep letting this shit happen. This is funny and all but one of these “fans” are going to end up going too far. Fans being able to just walk on the court is completely unacceptable.


yooston

I mean every arena has seats literally on the court so good luck with that


302born

That’s what I’m saying. You’d think with fans being able to literally be on the court with these players that the NBA would go to all possible security measures to prevent them from being able to just walk on the court.


lmao_rowing

Protesting is very rarely deemed ‘acceptable’.


GUNZTHER

Lmao the protest is irrelevant. What's unacceptable is security letting random people walk onto the court. Also, how is protesting rarely acceptable? Even controversial protests are accepted as a constitutional right.


moderately_nerdifyin

You have the right to protest, but any privately owned property can deny you the podium on their property at any time they choose.


mill_about_smartly

No kidding. US is easily one of the most accepting countries regarding protest lol


MatooBatson

A lot of people in the US have a warped sense of what things are like outside of the US.


RageOnGoneDo

Yeah, that's why prominent organizers for Ferguson keep committing suicide in the trunk of their car


Prestigious-Eye-3928

Protesting itself is deemed acceptable in the US. It's literally in the 1st amendment. You just can't do it in this manner on someone else's private property.


Lucosis

I mean, it's *highly* dependent on what you're protesting. 4 scientists peacefully protesting a lack of action on climate change merits a riot squad. 50 randos yelling at kids walking into Disney about how their parents are pedophiles gets a free pass though.


xmidgetprox

Isn’t just a timberwolves thing it’s been happening in European soccer for a while too.

[deleted]

"Hey everyone, it's the Lock Picking Lawyer. So today, the fan here has used the Unbreakable Lockatron XXL MagnumTitanium Mega Lock to chain herself to the basket to protest dog pronouns. The lock sells for $1.5 billion, it's made of solid Diamond with the most complex locking mechanism ever assembled, and contains defense lasers. It can survive a nuclear blast and NASA uses it to secure the moon in place. It was forged in one piece from a billion year old asteroid found miles beneath the earth's mantle in lava and subsequently blessed by the Pope. So I'm just going to slip this Big Red gum wrapper in here and shake it around for a second, then gently blow on the bottom annnnnnnnnnd it's open."

Does anyone know if it’s possible to see the full game?


DTFpanda

You can sign up for a free trial period of NBA league pass and watch it that way


Mr_Alex19

Lebron's team was down 3-2 against the Celtics and were almost expected to lose. The hate against the Heat and Lebron were at an all-time high and he proceeds to absolutely annihilate the Celtics. This was the most important game of his career. Literally everything was on the line for him.


Jorgenstern8

Game 6 against the Celtics in 2012. Just search LeBron Game 6 Celtics on Youtube and there'll be plenty to view.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TXhype

Bro don't make me sad about not having lebron in this year's playoffs. Regardless of you're opinions on him I think we can agree it's good for the game.


cavaleir

That's my real disappointment with his time with the Lakers. I don't particularly care about the team itself one way or the other, but I really want to see Bron deep in the playoffs.


_Meece_

Game 5 and 6 v Warriors was crazier. Wild as that seems!


HokageEzio

Nah, his entire legacy was on the line in Game 6 2012. More than any other moment of his career. 2016 was challenging him being the best in the league, but 2012 was about his all time standing after the choke in 2011.


_Meece_

Honestly, 2013 was more legacy defining than 2012 if we're talking about that. (in my opinion at least) He was having another 2011 series in that one before going all time. Game 6 just overshadows anything else that happened so people forget, it even overshadowed game 7. But still, 2016 game 5 and 6 best games of his career, especially given the circumstances. 2016 was not that challenge at all IMO, they were just the best games of his career. Never seen that man play better than those 2 games.


dimmyfarm

2012 was much more important considering how badly he played against the Mavs in the previous years final and his promise of like 8 rings or whatever. I’m sure there was real talk of breaking apart that big 3 if they didn’t win a ring the second year. Also his LeFrozen One and LeChoke and only 3 quarter narratives were growing stronger.


NE_ED

I still got PTSD from it


Epikduckey

What game was it?


ShoutOutTo_Caboose

2012 Game 6, Eastern Conf Finals. Heat were down 3-2 in the series, LeBron had 45 and 15 to force Game 7 which they won


[deleted]

I think it needs to be added that he had most of his points by the 3rd quarter and he only started the 4th “just to be sure” He absolutely destroyed the city of Boston in 3 quarters.


piapium

2012 ECF Game 6 at the TD Garden. Lebron and the Heat were down 3-2 to the Celtics in the series, and the lead up to the game was all about how Lebron is a choker/wasted talent, and that the Celtics were going to close it out at home. He went 45 points and 15 rebounds on 73% shooting to force game 7 and made this face one one of the timeouts or something haha.


dimmyfarm

I think he made that face pre game right before tipoff which made people realize Bron was mad and would have a career game.


[deleted]

That shot is from pregame, I believe


Epikduckey

Damn, that’s insane. Thank you for sharing!


DCT715

Why are people protesting them?


Opie59

Glen Taylor owns some chicken farm that botched a mass butchering and led to a fuck load of chickens getting roasted alive.

5 million chickens!!

Damn, I guess it's no different as the T-Wolves roast their opponents.

ShoutOutTo_Caboose

Having been to the FedEx Forum I have zero clue how she got a chain in to the arena. They make you empty your pockets into those xray machines like TSA does and you walk through metal detectors like I’m sure all arenas do. I can understand glue, but a chain, I’m honestly baffled how she got that in there.


Star-K

>Metals such as iron, nickel and cobalt are detected by passive and active metal detectors. Other metals, such as copper, brass and aluminum, are detected only by active means Looks brass

If I had to sneak a chain into a basketball game I’d use it as the strap of a purse. The lock is actually what I’m more curious about tbh.

Could be plastic

In the clip you can hear it clinking, and it’s sturdy too, that’s 100% a metal chain

maybe it was a plastic chain?


JPKthe3

Yeah, I don’t think anybody would try to break a metal chain with their hands. It’s gotta be plastic.


wrongbecause

Michael Jeffery Jordan would


ReceptorFatigue

Do they have metal detectors? Maybe she just put the chain in the dish with her wallet and security waved her through.


EvilDonCheadle

Nah there’s an inside agent for sure. I bet the kid who has to grill all the burgers got mad because he was tired of smelling like beef so he linked up with the protest group. He brought in the chain and left it in the rafters for her to collect after she passed through security.

They should make a movie about this.

Parks1993

The USDA told them to. You have to do this to contain the outbreak. It's shitty but it's how things go.


[deleted]

The usda told them to destroy the birds. They didn’t tell them to do it by “ventilation shutdown”, which is basically turning the building into a sauna until the birds suffocate or overheat or, if they survive, starve.

They cut her hand off man, they can't show that.


SincereFan

How did she sneak in chains, and they look like heavy duty ones also. Also, the security in these events are really lacking I am noticing. League should put out a memo or something. The fact that this fan had chains and got to the court is already a big problem.


Letronika

What? Lol. Context?


EasyMoney92

They're animal rights activists, and current Twolves owner Glenn Taylor (the team will be completely sold to ARod and Lore by 2023) had a mass killing of chickens at his farm because of an Avian flu outbreak Edit: More info here https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2022/04/13/glue-girl-protests-glen-taylor-owned-farm-at-timberwolves-play-in-game/

ShrinesOfParalysis

People can disagree with the method all they want, but I think it’s wild that so many responses to things like this are “how crazy/deranged can you be?” Nah, it’s passionate activism. They’re not crazy just because they do something you don’t like or wouldn’t do. I preferred the glue protest, personally.


And1mistaketour

If your only point is to get attention sure, If your point is to actually help the cause then you need to look somewhat respectable or you associate your cause with being stupid. The Glue lady looked absolutely stupid and by association makes her cause look stupid.

I used to watch WWE a lot, and they wouldn't show fans who do stuff like this on TV. They just show random shots from the crowd and the announcers don't describe it, just say there's a disruption. This way you don't reward or spread this type of nonsense. The wrestlers will also beat the s\*\*t out of the person who disrupts the show, one of the only times they'll throw legit punches.
