@mclaincausey I’m not a big basketball fan, but love your analysis and summary of a game, despite the fact that I barely understand it! Absolutely superb.

@mclaincausey Jokic was passing the ball away in lieu of shooting in the lane for most of the night. It seems like he was more standoffish this game and his 3's weren't working until it was too late. Nas Reid took over for the foul troubled KAT and even on an off night for the Edwards, the wolves just wanted it more.
3 games won on the road for the Wolves is such a turnaround for MN sports.

Yeah, he was passing instead of posting up, but what really was the dagger was missing his first 7 3s instead of posting up. Even hitting half of those erases the final deficit. Probably just worn out. The timing of the comeback was tricky because while you want to sit Jokic when you have a big lead, the beginning of the 3rd quarter is a weird time to sit him.
Kudos to the Wolves, but also shame on the Nuggets for the way they lost these last two games. I’m hoping this lights a fire and motivates Booth to make some moves as well but this in my mind is on the Nuggets.

This has kind of been the antithesis of 30 years of Minnesota sports, SO FAR. What’s most promising to me is, there haven’t been many games yet where everyone is clicking at the same time, and we’re still finding ways to win. If KAT and Ant are both on I don’t think anyone can beat us, especially when a role player like Jaden puts up 23 points.
I don’t want to look past Dallas, but if(big if) we make it to the finals decided this morning I’ll fly home and take my dad to a game.

@Mizmazzle ice cold right over DPOY, stepping back for the kill shot when all they needed was a tie. The Balkan Ballers are so fun to watch.
-
@mclaincausey Balkan Ballers!! Not sure if that’s a known moniker…if not it should be!!
-
Bill Walton was an amazing man. Fare you well sir.
-
@mclaincausey awesome man. Only thing better is if you two were rocking a tie dyed dead head tee
-
@flannel-slut agreed. At least he’s wearing Bob Dylan gear.
-
@mclaincausey of course he had Bob Dylan gear on. Legend indeed
-
-
@flannel-slut freaking awesome dude!!!
-
@Mizmazzle great time last night! Special shout out to the Twolves taking out your Nuggets. Mavs in the finals was a dream matchup
-
@Mizmazzle unbelievable 4th quarter.
-
@IrishHeart feel bad for those Serbs…they watched it all slip away right when it matters most.
-
oh man would i have loved a Germany - Serbia final rematch with Jokic etc. But Yabusele was too strong and our three point shooting to weak.
Now cheering for the US
