Clippers at Timberwolves 2022 NBA Play-in Tournament Game Thread

[FireDavidKahn]

Wolves kinda sorta made the playoffs :banana::banana:

At least 1 more game then then the regular season. Doubled our wins from last year with basically no roster turnover... Finch is ****ing legit.

Wolves struggle with size and the Clippers have a ton of size. Clippers are 3-1 against us this year but 3 of those wins cave in a 10 day span very early on in the season before our team really got rolling.

I don't really know what to expect. If our "big 3" all play even average in this game it should be a comfortable win but then again we struggle with size.

This isn't the same team as we saw when the Clippers dominated us though so I don't think it's that valid to use that specific stat to predict what'll happen.

The one thing that still happens with the Wolves is that we are still capable of some real horseshit performances kinda out of the blue for seemingly no reason. But this team is still improving.




Clippers fans.... What is the state of your team right now? Not what it has been but what it is going into tonight?

Wolves by 10, LFG!!

[insidehoops]

Tuesday, April 12, 9:30PM ET on TNT: Clippers at Timberwolves, day 1 of the 2022 NBA play-in tournament.

Discuss!

[FireDavidKahn]

in Ed Malloy reffed games, the Clippers rank 3rd in FTs attempted per game, the Wolves 27th. and in Scott Foster reffed games, the Clippers rank 2nd in FTs attempted, the Wolves rank 29th

Welp, we're boned:roll:

[insidehoops]

Clippers and Timberwolves injury report as of 5:30PM ET:

Clippers: Kawhi Leonard out, Luke Kennard questionable

Timberwolves: Taurean Prince questionable

[AirBonner]

If clippers win another playoff game without Kawhi…

[dazzer87]

Clippers by 10….

[Full Court]

Clips with PG are still the better team. They should win.

[NBAGOAT]

i do kind of hope wolves take it. Like the clips but I just want kat to get as many playoff games as possible. Phx is a 5 game series at best.

[insidehoops]

Tipping off now.

[insidehoops]

TWolves fans sound READY for this.

[insidehoops]

Anthony Edwards = not scared.

[Kblaze8855]

Let have some honesty.

How many of you have never seen Edwards play a full game before this one?

[FireDavidKahn]

Let have some honesty.

How many of you have never seen Edwards play a full game before this one?

Exactly:roll:

[Proctor]

Wolves crowd channeling that Big 3 OKC crowd energy

[Proctor]

Towns out there getting buttfvcked :oldlol:

[lilteapot]

Towns gonna be exposed for the fraud he is

[insidehoops]

Mid 1Q: Clippers just went on a 10-0 run. Up 12-7.

[Proctor]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Wolves win, but Towns is going to get mobbed and taken out of the game and Edwards will expend all of his tard energy. Hope I'm wrong because this should be an amazing game.

[bladefd]

Let have some honesty.

How many of you have never seen Edwards play a full game before this one?

Better to ask "how many of you have seen Edwards play a full game before this"

Don't think Twolves are watched all that much unless if you are a Twolves fan or a hardcore NBA fan

[FultzNationRISE]

Neither team looking especially poised so far.

[insidehoops]

The Timberwolves should consider scoring.

[Hey Yo]

Bev is ****ing dumb.

[Proctor]

Wolves not looking like they have much of a chance. Towns looks like he's going to be made into a non-factor/ Lue is too good of a coach. Wolves absolutely need a big game from someone like Beasley, Beverly (anyone other than KAT or Edwards) or they have zero chance.

And as I type that, Beverly picks up a 3rd foul. The whole team's irrational stupid confidence and running around 200mph really needs to be scaled back sometimes.

[insidehoops]

Timberwolves guard Pat Beverley has 3 fouls in 9 minutes

D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns combined are 0 for 7.

Clippers up 19-13.

[BigShotBob]

Towns plays exactly how I thought he would play in a crowd - very subpar.

If this is part of the fascinating young talent then again, I am not impressed. Clint Capela also eviscerated a few years ago when the Wolves faced the Rockets. Completely emasculated him. He doesn't possess the poise yet.

[insidehoops]

Both teams a bit shaky to start, but will probably settle in soon.

Fun to watch though. Both teams scrambling.

[dazzer87]

Towns is trash….

[FultzNationRISE]

KAT’s movements are so goofy.


Dude sucks lol.

[John_Connor]

Towns is trash. he's only good on the block with single coverage. a good team defense ruins him

hes forcing everything

Edward's needs to take over this team if they ever wanna go somewhere

[kabacho]

https://i.ibb.co/LCbVQxR/download.jpg (https://ibb.co/55tbYr4)

Lucky shot

[FultzNationRISE]

Refs calling a lot of fouls that arent fouls.

Lame.

[Chuckbe]

Refs calling a lot of fouls that arent fouls.

Lame.

****ing **********s are ruining the game, how can anyone watch this shit.

[insidehoops]

Anthony Edwards going wild, keeping the Timberwolves in this.

Clippers up 4, mid 2Q.

[John_Connor]

Edward's is like Orlando tmac. fitting he wears number 1

[FireDavidKahn]

Edwards has the potential to be the best scorer in the league.

[insidehoops]

Mid second quarter: Anthony Edwards 6 of 10 FG, rest of Timberwolves 8 of 23.

[bladefd]

Where the hell is KAT? Did he forget he plays in the NBA? :facepalm

[FultzNationRISE]

Sota is like a worse version of the Cleveland team we just saw.

Not very talented, but energy and effort keeps them competitive.

[FireDavidKahn]

Damn ... That was a clean block

[justin43]

This is what happens when you don't use your challenge at the right time. That may cost the Wolves the game.

[Hey Yo]

Towns be around long enough to know he has to play smarter with 3 fouls.

No excuse for that.

[Kblaze8855]

Ho glued herself to the floor….

[Proctor]

Some Minny idiot just glued themselves to the floor. What the hell :oldlol:

[SATAN]

:biggums: :oldlol:

[justin43]

An NBA First for the incident. Wolves are better without Towns.:lol

[jlip]

Ho glued herself to the floor….

:lol:roll:

I have never seen anything like that in my life.

[FultzNationRISE]

Lol!!

Some fat sjw chick just tried to glue herself to the court :roll:

[L.Kizzle]

Were they protesting KATs fouls or what!

[FireDavidKahn]

What the hell?:roll:

[BigShotBob]

Glue girl just sparked a run for the Wolves

[L.Kizzle]

Ain't that much glue in the world

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Luckily for kawhi's San Diego buddy Powell or it would be a 10+ game right now

[Chuckbe]

Another BS foul on Ant :mad:

He fouled him with the other hand.

[insidehoops]

Good game now, after a strange start in more ways than one.

[FultzNationRISE]

Actually would like to see a first round grudge match between Phoenix and LAC, so I'll pull for the Wolves here even though the presence of Bev and KAT on the same team breaks the cringe-meter.

[kabacho]

:applause::applause:

[insidehoops]

Half: Timberwolves 53, Clippers 51

T-Wolves
D'Angelo Russell 15 pts, 5 ast
Anthony Edwards 15 pts, 4 reb
Karl-Anthony Towns 0/7 FG, 2 pts, 1 reb, 4 fouls

Clippers
Norman Powell 14 pts off the bench
Paul George 9 pts, 4 reb, 2/10 FG
Reggie Jackson 9 pts
Marcus Morris and Robert Covington 7 pts

[FultzNationRISE]

Norman Powell is the most absurdly bow-legged human Ive ever seen.

[2much_knowledge]

I hate the fact that if we win (lac) we face my other favorite team memphis. Lose lose situation

Wonder what that shirt says.

Last two words..."animals alive"? lol

[jlip]

https://i.ibb.co/yRCdDn8/1649818818167.jpg (https://ibb.co/FW1m9bB)

What does her shirt say? The last two words look something like "mammals" or "animals" "alive." Is this some type of PETA protest or something?

[Hey Yo]

https://i.ibb.co/yRCdDn8/1649818818167.jpg (https://ibb.co/FW1m9bB)

LOL

was trying to read her shirt. Last 2 words 'animals alive?'

[kabacho]

"Glen Taylor roasts animals alive" it seems

[Hey Yo]

If the refs take this back.... that'll be bullshit.

That shouldn't have even been reviewed.

[Hey Yo]

Chances that if Beverly was originally the only one called for a tech..... if the refs would have reviewed it to see if Morris should be assessed too?

Highly doubt it.

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

This team f'n sucks without Kawhi. Last years playoffs was a fluke based off the momentum they had from thinking Kawhi would return. Can't even beat the KAT Twolves ROFL that's like losing to a WNBA team

[FultzNationRISE]

"Glen Taylor roasts animals alive" it seems


:roll: :roll: :roll:

[dazzer87]

LoL 5……

[Proctor]

Morris just clubbed Towns 3 times with the Clippers setting up on offense. Towns comes down and retaliates and gets a 5th.

[FultzNationRISE]

KAT gives me George Michael vibes

[BigShotBob]

Morris just clubbed Towns 3 times with the Clippers setting up on offense. Towns comes down and retaliates and gets a 5th.

That's why Jokic clubbed his brother

[kabacho]

[1987_Lakers]

Watching these Clippers makes you wonder if they are going for back to back titles if Kawhi doesn't get hurt.

[dazzer87]

Huge block there Mann.

[kabacho]

McDonals :facepalm

[Hey Yo]

Zubac put on his ass!

Kevin Harlan da GOAT

[kabacho]

:lol:lol:lol

[jlip]

Kevin Harlan tried to sneak that in. :roll:

[Hey Yo]

Don't go away yet ladies and gentlemen...

[Proctor]

Towns' body language is shit even on the bench. Not a good look while the Wolves are playing hard.

Wolves are taking the lead and KAT is on the bench pouting with his arms crossed. Tool.

[FireDavidKahn]

:banana:

[John_Connor]

wolves so much better without Towns clogging shit up

[John_Connor]

Watching these Clippers makes you wonder if they are going for back to back titles if Kawhi doesn't get hurt.

horrible take

yep.

[FireDavidKahn]

ANTHONY ****ING EDWards

:rockon:

[1987_Lakers]

Clippers should have kept Beverley

[John_Connor]

try keeping Edward's off the allstar team next year

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Looks like both of kawhi's bum ass teams will be playing in the do or die play in

spurs vs clippers hahahhaa

what a choke job

[kabacho]

https://i.ibb.co/Y0b1Vpz/download.jpg

[1987_Lakers]

horrible take

How so? Clippers without Kawhi gave the Suns some trouble last season. Add a healthy Kawhi and it's not crazy to say they beat the Bucks in the Finals. Clippers with a healthy Kawhi this year are sitting at least the #2 seed right now.

[Hey Yo]

Edward's may have grabbed the team away from KAT with that dunk.

[lilteapot]

bro Ant is nasty.

[FireDavidKahn]

omfg a step BACK 3 BY EDWARDS ON GEORGE:banana:

[Proctor]

Still nervous for the Wolves. Clippers aren't gonna die

[lilteapot]

Wolves gonna find a way to lose this game

[Proctor]

Didn't like that Edwards dagger attempt and these Clippers will absolutely not die. Are Wolves poised enough...who knows

[Hey Yo]

Dumb foul by Edwards

[FireDavidKahn]

Ant has arrived.

He is leading this team to the play offs (like I predicted!)

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

chris paul spotted them 2 games and they still lost in 6

[fourkicks44]

Did Lue call timeout to call that play for that shot by PG wtf?

[FireDavidKahn]

Pat Bev is the greatest thing in the world.

[1987_Lakers]

Beverley absolutely shitting on his former team. :oldlol:

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Paul George hits a shot when the game is already over, that's his trademark actually.

Kawhi hits them in game 7 at the buzzer

[John_Connor]

Beverley absolutely shitting on his former team. :oldlol:

sounds like you with the Lakers after shaq left

only difference is Beverley has pride

[FireDavidKahn]

[justin43]

Congrats to the Wolves. Now it will be Memphis vs. Wolves 1st round.:cheers:

[Hey Yo]

D'Angelo Russell needs to clean up that nappy face

[Hey Yo]

[NBAGOAT]

rosas died for this lol

[1987_Lakers]

:lol:lol

:oldlol:

He was great tonight, but it's funny/cringe to always see him get overly hyped at moments that aren't even THAT special.

[2much_knowledge]

F*ckkkk. Congrats to the t-wolves fans in here. I dont think we gonna lose the next one at home

[1987_Lakers]

Chuck/Kenny/Shaq roasting the Wolves for acting like they won a chip. :roll:

[FireDavidKahn]

These jokers acting like they just 3-peated lmao.

Lay the **** off man. Just look at our history.

Wolves deserve this.

[John_Connor]

[jayfan]

Beverley was the difference.

Bev is the quintessential leadership + impact the game without putting up very good stats. It's something you don't really notice unless you watch him everyday.

I mean.... For most of the year he made KAT grow a pair of balls

[FireDavidKahn]

It's a sticky situation.
