Get out of here with that foul call, lol.  Dude got rejected by the rim and the refs are trying to bail him out.

[jpotter33]

Awful call.

[jpotter33]

And another unsecured rebound leading to second chance points 

[slamtheking]

KAT gets breathed on and he gets a foul.  C's get grabbed, bumped and hammered and get nothing

[jpotter33]

Why we continue to try and guard Towns with a smaller player is beyond me. It has killed us all night long. Why not go back to double big that you love so much, Joe? Not going to be able to do it now with Brunson coming back in.

JT!

So smooth. He's making a perennial All-Defensive level guy look silly.

this is where having Al would make such a huge differene

I feel bad for JB. Hopefully his knee gets a bit better come playoffs. We need his 2 way play.

[jpotter33]

So obviously JB is done for the night, and with 22 minutes he's clearly just playing to meet the game criteria on the (very) off chance that he gets a nod for third team All NBA.

That's frustrating. He could've taken a dang month off to rest that knee and give his body the best chance possible to last through the playoffs while healthy. Rather, we're letting him play 20 minutes a night unnecessarily for the past few weeks for him to very likely be left off the awards anyways. This could be influential in whether we actually repeat or not.

[Phantom255x]

PP needs to make these 3s against the elite teams

[Phantom255x]

Choking this away

[SCeltic34]

C's falling apart.  They had 2 wide open looks from 3.

[slamtheking]

as always, C's inability to control the defensive boards bites them in the butt

[radiohead]

Uncanny turnover from DW.
