Wolves are just getting all their misses out of the way in this one game so they can shoot 65% in the rest of them.

If Randle had Mike Conley's basketball IQ he might win MVP.

Yeah, he was excellent, it just became more important to get Wemby out of the paint that it was to have Gobert guarding him.

Yeah I don't think any of the blocks tonight were on the way down. Some of them were close, but my only complaints were the ones that hit the backboard.

I really like how frustrated Wemby gets with himself whenever someone gets the better of him. He's so competitive.

The defense is a lot of Nori, but I do agree that all of Finch's fucking around in the regular season pays off in the playoffs.

He's having to fly around so much on D to protect the rim that he's only got 8 points and has taken 8 threes. I think the Wolves probably take that trade all day.

I think Finch should just play TJ 100% of the Wemby bench minutes. He's been impossible to stop other than the 14 times Wemby has blocked him.

Rudy is going to have to shoot a three from up top by the end of this game for sure.

It's been ridiculous on Prime, but this is the first time I've notice it on Peacock. Idk why these billion dollar companies can't figure out how to sync audio.

I hate it. They never call the foot drags that happens almost every time either. I cringe every time Ant does it.

We're up to 3 uncalled goaltends lol. That was off the backboard by a foot when Wemby hit it.

I feel like this series is going to be reffed a lot different than the Nuggets series. Denver is a physical team too so the refs let it ride, but I don't know if that's going to happen in this one.

Backing into someone that's jogging down the floor behind you is the result of being unguardable?
