Thunder got bullied bad in this game.
Might want to tell the team to hit the weight room next season cuz tonight they lost their lunch money
This play in sh** is ridiculous. Ninth place Timberwolves have way too many chances at the cup. Even after been beat in the play ins by LA already. Now LA and Timberwolves have a chance at playing each other again for a 2nd round at the cup. The whole thing ruins the integrity of competition during the season. Why even work? ANY ass team can get in from the bottom without effort.

And this is how Timberwolves should play. Drive in. Dish it out if it’s clogged in the middle. Let your two all star big man fight for them offensive rebounds. Feed the big men down low if the defense is allowing one on one’s down low. Continue to keep the ball flowing on offense is what makes the twolves dangerous on offense.
You make uncannyblocks band 1N-10N!!!!
Rudy Gobert redeemed himself for now.
OKC did not look the same as they did last night against the pelicans very mind blowing
Rip ximo
Dereck Lively II is the pick to help us stop a guy like Gobert from going for 20 points. Our defense would be the best with Chet and Lively controlling the paint and blocking everything. 😂
Pinall n b a april 15 2023 today
This KAT is different from last year's play-ins 😤
I hope the Wolves upset the Nuggets.
Wolves in Mile High sheesh
Crazy! Kyle Anderson throw Rudy. A crazy pass opp, then bro turned up and tried to block everything that was going up. That's all. Kyle was saying block them shots
Scripted by nba to let Glen Taylor get a playoff series. Pisses me off. Minnesota can't beat anyone on their own. OKC is a puppet low income team as well. Can always say future is bright for okc but if minny loses they are gonna be embarassed.
So, the play-in was a waste of time and energy.
Lakers were and still the number seven seed.
Twollves are also still the number 8 seed.
Shai sold. 😂 oh well.
Wolves Back to Back Play in Champs
Okc had durant, westbrick, James harden. If they didn't win shit with those guys, they ain't winning with great white hype chet oden.
Can't wait for the CAVS to sweep the tricks!
Everyone on the team knows KAT is the best player, except KAT himself. Wolves desperately need him taking at least 15 shots a game, bare minimum.
Nuggs in 7. This will not be easy for them
Where’s Poku? They needed some size. I know he plays goofy sometimes,but they could of used him.
For LeBron, Anderson and Gobert are the best duo.😂
The experienced showed
3:09 that hairline tho
talikuran mula deni tiga pamapnga eku buri tiga floridablanca kasi pagbintangan daka tamu ken bage kakarok kaya unike ku ken bage epal ya ini maglaptop please gagawan tamu ini ala edhar aranetaat ala call center ala laptop involment kundi suwerti mu ken paniniwala ken one god miracle
Chet aside, where are all of OKC's bigs? Sheesh.
Timberwolves have two playin rings …
Minnesota will upset Denver…you heard it here first
Defense: Wolves
Offense: Nuggets
Home town refs and towns playing dirty. It’s alright okc…the timbermutts won’t make it far in the playoffs.
Madaya to puro wolves lng Ang bola d ko nkita nka shoot Ang okc😅🤣🤣🤣
Thunder will be back and better next year. Nuggs in 5
Had no idea how good KAT is. This team is built. I can see what they were thinking with adding Gobert alongside KAT. Not a big Gobert fan, but Jazz dominated regular season a few years ago, thought they could get a major piece from that team to add to what they had already. Now they added Conley from that same Utah team.
Fingers crossed 🤞the Lakers lose game one by the same 25 points 👉😅
Shout out to the incredible season Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had! My boy has to be either first or second team All NBA! OKC needs a center obviously as they got mauled inside by KAT and Gobert! Wolves can give the Nuggets some issues with their size, but Jokic is the best player in that series! Nuggets in 5 games.
Wolves is a dangerous team, they can go far in the playoffs I'm telling you
So many fouls not called that would have gone in favor of the thunder… next time put a bench player in to break towns nose for all those charges that never got called. SGA getting elbowed in the face completely ignored. BS refs
Great win for Towns and Co. Thunder got a bright future going forward too!!
