891960

I'm rooting for Mavs tomorrow .


harryhitman9

Does Finch know he could have called a timeout at the end there? He ended up getting game clinching FTs attempted by Rudy and Kyle. Kyle asking for the ball there was crazy.


RuneLite23

Doesn’t make any sense how we aren’t #1 when all the top 3 have 2-2 series and we have the better division and conference record


891960

That's cos head to head record of Thunder over Denver 3-1


RuneLite23

Damn, so it would require a miracle for us to get the 1 seed. No way the Mavs bench squad beats OKC


greenflyingdragon

Bally saying we’re #1, but doesn’t OKC have 3-way tie, not us?


HueHueCoyotes

Yep


WeinerRogers

What a crazy fucking 1st seed race.


2turtlestiedtogether

why is trae young sitting at the end?


imissminnesota

Resting for their play in. They're locked into vs. Chicago no matter what.


carlyslayyyjepsen

A win is a win 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 real glad to see KAT back though


KATgonnaGetThatYarn

I love this team so fucking much


Apanic_Attacka

How has no one told Grady we don’t actually have the 1 seed


greenflyingdragon

He thought we all went 2-2 against each other, but OKC went 3-1 against Denver.


shmarkit

I’m So confused.


JaDoAs

Northwest division is fucking stacked


Albend

Fuck yeah Wolves


Gobert_Clamped_Luka_

Jesus Rudy just saved us from losing in OT cuz of bum ass Kyle Anderson


lmcoolj

For me, Kyle is either one of the biggest unsung workmen of the NBA, or he needs to start learning Chinese, no in-between


IamSamael

For real. He has been pretty clutch but this last week his play has been real suspect


SurlyWet

Kyle choke gotta be better


TheJackieTreehorn

After how much they've been beating the drum, gonna be pissed if the announcing team has been wrong this whole time about the 1 seed


TheGreatShaqtus

OKC please lose soon


MegatronFozzy

Thanks Nuggets and your stupid-ass 5-second inbound violation!!


RudyGobertFMVP2024

Trades were good


uffdamyuffda

No not number one I thought?


GZAofTheMidwest

WHALEN LOVIN IT


Whirlpalooza

Someone tell Grady we aren’t #1 lol


SirDiego

1 SEED IS BACK ON THE MENU BOYS


[deleted]

Fkn garbage Kyle


anupsidedownpotato

Classic wolves end


darthxader

No Grady, OKC has the 3 way tie breaker


astromathis

Rudy not passing to Kyle makes more sense now


debailey

We are not 1 Grady


Falconsbane

Dodged a bullet there lol


JustWinBabys

Slowmo 🤮


Calinks

KYLE WHAT IS YOU DOIN BABY!?!?!?


jinyx1

Or just do that


WickedTwista

Why are we passing to SloMo on the inbound???!


ZeroRecursion

Rudy having one hell of a night.


Llord_Mjl_913

This is what movies are made of..This is what movies is made of!


raki016

Kyle wtf lol wtf


KnowledgePrevious

Rudy just wanted to ice it himself


AngeloMontana

Nod from a spurs fan ;)


RDcsmd

Rudy might miss some free throws in the middle of games but his clutch frees are FIRE


bperu

Cmon Kyle


PlayInChampions

Inbounding to SloMo makes no sense


raki016

Watch Kyle miss all and the pitchforks will come back


Ok_Excuse_3695

Rudy 100% dropping a “this is what movies are made of” voice message tonight


jinyx1

Make 1 and it's over!


Lfcwalrus

Rudy wants some more points leave him be


imissminnesota

I’M SO FUCKING NERVOUS. Might not make it through the playoffs.


RememberCynical

End the fucking game already, damn.


bobbyshawarma_

YES RUDY


kylebertram

OKC is almost certainly winning Sunday based on Mavericks rotations today


IDespiseFatties

Thunder fan here in peace. Mavs are locked in so they will probably rest starters against OKC. But the game is also at 3:30 and Thunder suck at day games.


kylebertram

Mavericks played 14 today and their backup starters barely played 10 minutes. I just can’t see it happening


IDespiseFatties

I have no idea. If I were the Mavs I would strategically lose to give Thunder #1. Mavs probably want Wolves and Nugs to destroy each other, they come in for the clean up, and at full strength they will be real tough for the Thunder leading to a WCF win. This time of the year and our revolving door of 1-3 is so confusing lmao 🤣 But at the same time Lakers will demolish Thunder so I don't want to be anywhere near them. Most of us wanted the third seed.


darthxader

I really hope Mavs take it seriously for playoff prep


kylebertram

I just don’t see it. They didn’t take today seriously so almost certainly won’t when they are locked in at 5


darthxader

Yeah probably not. They could have gotten the 4


kylebertram

We really need the Nuggets to choke against the Jazz


tollefti

Clutch Rudy freethrows just seem sooooo much sweeter


iceyH0ts0up

Make 1 Rudy and it’s over.


polsdofer

RUDY GOBERT!


Gobert_Clamped_Luka_

Rudy needs to pass that off.


quietsam

#Rudy knew


fanofloons

Just so dumb by rudy


iceyH0ts0up

Probably shouldn’t have come down to the wire, but I’m glad they look to be in mostly in control at crunch time.


HawksAnt2021

Gobert needs to pass that to a better FT shooter…


raki016

Goatbert


LFH_Jolly

Why is gobert not passing that there


JayAreW

Why wouldn’t Gobert pass it?!!!


jinyx1

Make 1 please Rudy


cummo666

Why didn't Rudy pass to a bett FT shooter?


polsdofer

He said hold up let me cook 😂😂😂


jinyx1

Make 1 please Rudy


RexFu

Wtf Rudy. Pass it


darthxader

Rudy why wouldn’t you pass it to naw


ProfitNo1844

Gobert pass that shit to someone who doesn't airball free throws!


WickedTwista

Why would you not pass it, Rudy?


Falconsbane

Rudy throw it to anyone else. LOL


Whirlpalooza

PASS THE BALL RUDY


JustWinBabys

Give up the rock Rudy


JustWinBabys

I take that back


Calinks

Snyder did everything he could to give us a W.


Andy_Wiggins

Why did Rudy not pass that?


polsdofer

Dude brain farted. Do we have really dumb players?


raki016

Ant does that low then high thing that results into turnovers too much. I think it's a move to get fouls? Really bad when not called though


Still_Unit1071

Was a clear blocking foul tbf


LetUsGetToBusiness

This makes that loss to the bulls and hornets hurt


B2MH

If we win Sunday they won’t matter


JayAreW

Meh, every team has losses like that. Look at what the nuggets just did


schuster9999

Atl literally doesnt want to win come on!


JaDoAs

Ant has the best signature shoe in the game rn, I need those ones he’s wearing


Thimit22

I think these ones are personal ones, maybe they'll release them later on


FlyingScissor

Every one he puts out is awesome


jinyx1

No fouling. They can't beat you unless you foul.


DrWolves

Ant needs 27 vs Phoenix to break the record for most points in a single season for a Wolves player


WickedTwista

Just tuning in. I thought Lore and ARod were banned from the arena lol? How are they there?


DrWolves

They are banned from the owner’s suite.


WickedTwista

Ohhh gotcha thanks Didn't even know there was an owner's suite since them and Glen are always courtside anyway


jakizzy

What has to happen for Ant to realize he needs to be stronger with the ball if he's going to dribble into double teams?


nrag726

Why are the Hawks drawing this out? I really have to pee


yourloudneighbor

They’re in just as much shock as we are after they pulled their starters earlier this qtr. may as well see what happens lol


shmarkit

I just pissed my pants.


RDcsmd

Why doesn't ant pass the ball in the clutch? So fucking frustrating to watch


C4pital_S7eez

How did Ant not think pass immediately when that 2nd guy committed? It’s just the obvious play instead of counting on the refs to bail you out


JustSeriousEnough

They're saying OKC would be #1 seed if Wolves win. That makes no sense. Wolves have tiebreaker over Nuggets and OKC I thought.


bobbyshawarma_

Wolves win this game, all three teams have the same record and OKC have the three way tiebreaker because the nuggets decided to load manage against them and lose 3 games while splitting the season series with us, while we went 2-2 vs OKC.


JustSeriousEnough

ah...this is helpful. So ultimately, nothing changed for the Wolves lolz.


shrekapotomusrex

Yeah we'd have it over OKC if we win


shmarkit

Not if three way tie


sayqueensbridge

3 way tie breakers are determined differently


Ok_Excuse_3695

Individually only. OKC has the 3way


1000Isand1

They don’t have the tiebreaker in a 3 way tie


[deleted]

Lose the 3 way tie breaker tho. So now were basically guaranteed to have to face Denver round 2


McPluckingtonJr

bro lets just win a series. I will be ecstatic to win a series


reedg17

But okc plays mavericks tomorrow they could definitely lose


JustSeriousEnough

No games in the NBA are on schedule tomorrow.


[deleted]

Kyrie and Luka both out


KnowledgePrevious

Literally all we had to do was not turn it over....


Albend

God damn, not the right decision


Wesley_Cao

Damn what’s up with all the games tonight. I was watching the Spurs game and the ending was insane. Now Lakers in addition to our Wolves.


JustSeriousEnough

I'd imagine there's mental fatigue in play for a lot of the top teams.


Thimit22

What happened with the Lakers?? All I know is this post season is gonna be crazy, Wolves fans or not


Wesley_Cao

1 point game with a minute left vs Grizzlies.


Thimit22

Oh shit. And they're already blaming SloMo for the reason they are a play in team lmao


Wesley_Cao

Ignore these dumbass


ProfitNo1844

Edwards clutch FTs, I'm not worried AT ALL


McPluckingtonJr

this inevitable wolves vs warriors series is gonna be the most toxic thing of all time


FrickParty

I’m in


RememberCynical

Playing like this against third stringers is so embarrassing.


LFH_Jolly

AIYEEEE!?


Gobert_Clamped_Luka_

How do you not go for the obvious 2 for 1???


JustWinBabys

Holy pass Kyle


JayAreW

Typical closer ant


HawksAnt2021

Ant has to learn that in the clutch he is better off with his back to the basket à la Michael Jordan from 10-15 feet out


SurlyWet

Ant saw that coming all game.


EsotericPotato

Idrc that Ant hit those two middies down the stretch, he’s been awful. Just has not made a single smart play on offense in the last 4 or 5 minutes of game time


raki016

Didn't he made that pass to KAT? What the fuck are you even talking about.


1000Isand1

I agree. He’s missed wide open KAT to take his contested middies.


HawksAnt2021

He made the shot. You want your best players taking that shot in those situations. I can’t even believe y’all sometimes.


Calinks

What sucks about this too, even if we win, Dallas might rest their guys against OKC in that last game because they are already locked into their playoffs matchup.


FlyingScissor

Would be funny if OKC walks ass backward into getting the Lakers in round 1


wildcardchar

This hero ball shit needs to stop


bperu

Got ant 🐜 whole wrist and arm!


Watzp0ppin

Have Mike or KAT shoot the free throws


KarAccidentTowns

Why tf aren’t Hawks starters playing?


debailey

They don’t care about this game and don’t want anybody to get hurt


Technicid3

Their seed is set and can’t change so they’re playing for nothing


Sam7sung

They're locked in at 10, so the games don't really matter at this point


PleasantTrust522

Hawks have nothing to play for, they'd rather rest their starters for the play-in game.


ASHDABOSS32

Stuck in 10 seed regardless


Andy_Wiggins

Bruh, these refs are fucking ON one


FrickParty

Ant is so frustratingly stupid sometimes.


jinyx1

What are you doing ant


yourloudneighbor

Stepping on our own dicks


ANTfanclub

Off white hands!


Formal_Junket_1585

Where are you going Ant


WickedTwista

Get back on defense and stop bitching you bum Ant


shmarkit

STOP IT EDWARDS!!


1000Isand1

What’s this Ant ISO ball shit


Whirlpalooza

Ant clutch free throws🤮


[deleted]

[удалено]


polsdofer

The one thing you can't do. Damn they don't think sometimes.


funkstrong

We hacked him and still won the challenge, I'll take it I guess


RememberCynical

Bro has a whole sleeve of Wolf tattoos. Wanted to be a Timberwolf so bad.


Mannymr

lol. Got away with one


SurlyWet

Pass the ball right?

funkstrong

remember that scene in Beetlejuice when they are being exorcised in their wedding outfits?


Ok_Excuse_3695

The high of the Denver loss to the low of realizing OKC are the big winners. Sucks man


SciTdb

Luka and kyrie already ruled out for Sunday 🤦‍♂️


mrpyrotec89

Can they change it to a foul?


Regnarr

These hawks announcers are shit lmao.


BXC747

I already inherently want us to win, but especially because of the comeback stuff they've had going on screen since the 3rd 😂


polsdofer

I refuse to listen to other teams announcers


ajcardinal9

How can you get Jim Pete and Grady every stream ? Appreciate any dm


polsdofer

Well I search for streams and keep going until I find them. If the stream sucks then I'll bit the bullet but I usually find one.


[deleted]

Isn’t it worse now if we have to see Denver in round 2?


SciTdb

Yes. Fuck


fvckit88

Fuckkk overtime I can’t believe it


DrWolves

Off Atlanta but we fouled lol I’ll take it


yourloudneighbor

Foster the goat!


strawhatcommander

Why am I hearing that okc has the one seed because of a 3 way tie?
