Timberwolves (16-16) at Celtics (22-10) Game #33 12/23/22

[Silas]

Defense, D Fence....

Scal "That's not supposed to be a foul."
The NBA was called that way the first half of last season since it was one of their "points of emphasis" (it's  not a foul on the defense if the offensive player initiates the contact). But let's be honest, they scrapped it halfway through the season because stars who rely on foul baiting like Harden weren't scoring like they used to.

Those are bad threes by Tatum, particularly with how we've been playing.

Excellent D by Smart.

[Silas]

2/13 from 3....terrible start.

[jpotter33]

They're letting Reid travel every possession when they've been calling JB for the same crap. He's doing the ball fakes and moving the feet at the same time.

[blink]

Reid just having his way with us inside.
hmmm

[Silas]

Grant could you throw it a little harder.

[SCeltic34]

We're playing like crap and the game is tied.

[radiohead]

It’s turnovers like that that’s really frustrating. That was a momentum killer.

[jpotter33]

There you go, guys.

Feel like tonight has legitimately been a fairly good shot selection with us just missing wide open shots.

[Silas]

Defense makes a big difference.

[SCeltic34]

Smart has been a monster this game.  His passing has been top notch.  Some very good possessions this quarter from our team.

Defense makes a big difference.

It has legit been stellar this quarter.

he's definitely making a difference this game.  hustle has brought this team back from the dead after that first quarter

[blink]

this is the best stretch of minutes since the GSW game
