I wish I could elbow anyone in the chest in my life with impunity. Things would be a lot easier that way.
(But seriously, the Wolves stank out loud and Jokic is amazing no matter how much shit he gets away with.)

Well, it was fun pretending a non-Lynx Minnesota team could win a championship, but at least I can stop paying attention now because I hate the rest of the teams except maybe Indiana. (Jamal Murray is a piece of crap so eff Denver)
Looks my dreams of a Pacers-Wolves final are circling the drain quickly
The only two times Minnesota fans of men's sports have ever been truly happy, they dropped the middle three games of a series.
That's fair. That said, those two times were in a sport that doesn't have a severe officiating scandal ready to blow up in their faces.
I can't wait for it to actually happen so you can parade around here yelling, "SEE!? SEEEEEE!?!?!?!?"
Love a good "I told ya so".
Not that I'm blaming the losses on reffing, because I didn't actually watch any of the games. I'm just salty that Murray wasn't suspended when he did something super suspension worthy.
I get the Murray thing. That was just awful. I believe if the series were 1-1 or Denver were up 2-0, he would have been suspended for a game. That's on the league, not the officials though. I otherwise feel like the officiating has been reasonable if imperfect, and hasn't been even close to outcome-determinative in any game.
I agree that the reffing, on the whole, was fine. But the lack of Conley was sorely felt. As was the lack of defense.
Defense wasn't that bad. The complete lack of offense was the bigger killer.
Denver shot 55 pct overall, 47 pct from 3. I wouldn't call that good defense, exactly.
How much is good offense vs bad defense?
I thought I couldn't hate Draymond any more than I did. I was wrong. Why does that guy have a job?
I'm not a well-versed basketball guy, but Conley missing had Ant controlling the plays and takes away from him playing off the ball which moves around those double teams. They looked better last night, so hopefully they can get a hometown win tomorrow
Just got a ticket for game 6. Ticket 70 bucks. FEES 28!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Electronic ticket so not even a keepsake. We live in the dumbest of universes.
Bux starting in CF for the Saints tonight.
Can't get him back soon enough. I'm a Willi Castro fan, but he's been brutal in centerfield the last two nights.
