1. This is here.

2. So I heard there was a basketball game tonight? (One of the rare instances that a playoff game would take a backseat to a regular-season game.)

   Sending good vibes to the @Timberwolves! Max Kepler (today’s hero) will be in attendance tonight. Dozier, Morrison, Adrianza and Escobar are also heading to Target Center to see the big Wolves game. pic.twitter.com/oxy8c2mAv6

3. I wish I could watch the NBC feed and not stuck with the FSN hockey guys.

4. I'm about to watch my first wolves game since the rose signing. I'm going to regret this, aren't I?

   1. We're off to a bad start with the gray jerseys instead of the bright green ones.

      1. We are on a win streak with the greys

         1. But they aren't the greens.

   2. I mean, they always blow 4th quarter leads this year, right? So... yes?

5. Bjelly has shown more this game than the last 3 games combined

6. Taj Gibson, professional glue guy.

7. Granlund with the nice pass there. I was sure it was going to be a shot straight at the goalie's middle.

   1. I suppose the long range shot going in against Dubs works too for disappointment.

8. Dubnyk is the only reason the Wild are anywhere remotely close in this game.

   1. Yeah. They had a few minutes of offensive presence, but that just completely dried up.

      1. If the Wild's SOG = x, then the Jets' SOGs was 2x.

         1. 2 times 0 is still 0, Joe.

            1. I meant for the game, but yeah.

               1. So did I.

                  I mean, I followed you, but...

9. Has Tyus Jones played?

10. Wolves with a lead starting the 4th. Just like the Minnesota Sports Choke Gods like it.

    1. It's pretty nice watching this with a meh detachment. No nerves at all.

       1. I don't even have the station, so I'm just updating the scoreboard periodically.

          Also, the Twins had a walk-off HR today, so even if everything else sportsing goes bad, it was a good sports day.

          1. Werd to that. Baseball makes everything better.

       2. ...with a meh detachment. No nerves at all.

          cheaps, read this as “with a meth attachment...” and wondered what I’d missed in your world.

          1. Heh, when I typed it I figured it would just look like I accidentally mashed the keyboard and forgot to fix it. Making it look like drug use wasn't something I expected, though. (No meth here).

11. I cracked from the pressure. With 4:50 left I had to change the channel on the Wolves. I’ll come back in a couple of minutes. But I just can’t watch right now.

12. Oh boy, here we go.

    1. The whole season comes down to 2 minutes. That's kind of neat.

       1. "neat."

          1. It has kind of a game 163 feel to it.

             As I sit here and refresh a browser... So maybe not.

13. God I hate iso-ball

    1. I'll take Butler iso over a freaking two-man game with Teague and Gibson with the season on the line. Great coaching as always, Thibs.

       1. Fire him into the sun.

          1. Fire Crawford right after him.

    2. Worse than that was the previous possession where only Teague and Gibson touched the ball.

       1. What can you do, it isn't like you have a big man that can hit free throws and is shooting 67% from the field tonight.

          1. Or a shooting guard with great handles who could play the two man game with him.

14. Did Thibs draw up that play for the Nuggets? That was an odd one.

    Let's see if there's a miracle in the cards for the finish.

15. Holy crap, Taj.

16. Good lord

17. Does Thibs have a grandson that's scribbling on the play board or something?

18. Thibs is a Trainwreck

19. What an awful end of gam/out of timeout play

20. I can't believe I'm saying this, but try to use Wiggins on offense

    1. Wiggins isn't even being guarded anymore

21. They ran a play for KAT! Try it again.

    1. But do it without Teague pounding the air out of the ball for 18 seconds.

22. Gibson has played his *ss off.

23. I gotta say, the last minutes of a close basketball game are even more tedious when you're just waiting for your browser to refresh.

    1. It's like waiting for John Lackey to pitch. I'm using Google's version because it automatically updates. But, there isn't much to update each time.

       1. All the freekin reviews aren't helping.

       2. It's not helping that they're reviewing every single play.

          1. There's a little notation that tells me the game is "live", but I'm starting to doubt that there's a pulse.

24. And exhale.

    1. !

25. Congrats, Wolves. If there's anything left in the tank for the playoffs, I'll be shocked.

    1. I mean, not sure this roster would have much of a chance against the Rockets with a full tank.

       1. That too.

          1. Heh

26. I believe this is the first time since the Wolves came into being that all four teams made the playoffs in one season (assuming you go by the season start rather than the year the playoffs happen).

    1. I'll allow it.

    2. Throw in the Lynx too!

       Loons, you are on the clock

       1. I did on my facebook comment to this effect! (Also the Superbowl and Minneapolis Miracle. Because good time to enjoy MN sports. We suffered long enough, let's at least acknowledge the good things.)

          1. I mean, if you consider football things good, anyway...

             1. Which multiple people here do...

                1. I'll allow it

             2. What if I throw in the performance of Minnesotans at the Winter Olympics?
