Guys have we considered punching lebron????
Wolves W
It'd be nice to get the win tonight. I don't see it but there's a chance.
We had to wait for the perfect game to not have Jaden, Rudy and Naz. Hooray
I wouldn't have suspended Rudy for shoving Anderson
Dlo dynamic passer. Wish he'd shown that in MN.
Fire Tim Kahnelley!
Wolves will win
If the whistle is fair, I still think we can win if shots are falling. (Lakers are averaging 30FTA a game in the last 12 games… yes that’s actually real and absurdly insane)
That rui comment made me laugh, the team had the flu.
The Lakers defensive improvement comes directly from the referees swallowing their whistles!
To play off your biggest key of the game, if the ref's blow the whistle every time the Lakers drive to the basket regardless whether there touched not touched or legitimate fouls, the timberwolves will get blown out. Then you'll have prince with 4 fouls, towns with 3, anderson with 3 all before half time. If the refs let them play the wolves have a chance, if they don't it's 20 points down with knight and Garza playing in the 2nd half.
Listening to other commentators and bloggers highlights how great you are Ben. I appreciate hearing more in-depth analysis and breakdowns. You support your arguments with facts and stats. You know things about coverages that myself as a casual fan would not know. I learn something listening to your podcasts. I feel like I could do the job of so many other commentators just by watching games
It’s been a crazy year as a wolves fan but Ben always gives a steady great analysis
Let’s go wolves!
Did this guy say laker fans aren’t used to prosperity? 🤣🤣
Sorry not sorry, Laker snobs are ridiculous.
I believe in Anthony Edwards lifting this team. We just saw him make play after play in the Pelicans game in the 4th quarter. When Ant plays with energy and makes plays, it lifts everyone else on the team. He has that "IT" factor. If Ant can play with energy and KAT can stay out of foul trouble, we can pull off the win. I wouldn't mind seeing Minot on the floor for some stretches, we need his length and athleticism more than ever.
He said lakers fans have ptsd when they won a championship like 2 years ago
Thanks for your hard work, Ben. Great job.
