I do not understand the turnovers that the raptors commit on a regular basis. They aren't even trying to do anything. Just incapable of dribbling a ball or passing it to a guy two feet from you.

Devlin saying "Down, 13! There's always hope" followed by them immediately going down 17

Raptors just feel like they need to practice more. Always looking so confused.

"If we can defend without fouling"

man, Wolves can't do that in the best of circumstances. Wolves columnists are pushing to put Slo Mo on Embiid, like they did Luka

Refs just had money on the first half line, now they can start calling the game better.

Refs just had a 600 word explanation about a shooting foul on replay.

It included the phrase "Because of the distance traveled"

It was a wild ride.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
I have to stop watching this game now due to plans changing but maybe that's for the best.

So I will probably repeat this in the NV thread at some point, but it's not as surprising given the type of team MN is.

They have a good defense but more importantly they have a RELENTLESS defense. You have the best paint protector in the league down there, your wings are rangey and athletic, even your "bad" defenders are either a 7' Towns or a super crafty conley. The bench comes in and its Kyle Anderson or NAW, guys who have length and good defenders. themselves. You get worn out.

On offense they aren't great but they play down low extremely well, they bang around the paint, and you gotta deal with a lot of athleticism on the wings.

So basically when the 3rd quarter comes around the Wolves might have a little run and the opposing team just can't dig down quick enough and now small runs are turning into longer ones. These are pros so eventually they'll get back up but over the course of a whole quarter or half those differences add up. Especially look at how teams look against the wolves in the last 3 or 4 minutes. You'll see lots of bad offensive sets, contested shots, etc. They just get worn down.

Also, impressed with Finch and the refs. He's not melting down or screaming, just constantly finding their ear at breaks or as the team dribbles up court in really unobtrusive fashion

Yeah for this game thats what happened. Wolves came out with energy, Sixers had none until Embiid did what he does and put the offense on his back and then the Sixers made the quarter even. Against Miami the other night no one really did that.

Due to injuries and illness, the Mavs center rotation is Dwight Powell and Markieff Morris, and lemme tell ya, it sucks

I assume the Clippers will get their bearings and ultimately pull away but the Mavs got a lot more competitive when they gave up on Powell/Morris and just went small
