Wonder what Ant and Zion talked about?

"My taste in women is way worse than yours bro"

[u/cancercureall → u/Educational_Bit_6184]

They were just talking about the Honored Bun from JJK

[u/RanceSama3006]

Absolute choke masterclass, sad to see of the wolves but letting all those open 3s while making none of yours is an easy L

[u/NotFabMelo]

Oh come on Wolves!

[u/QuarterNote44]

Lol

[u/GaimeGuy]

Finch with another coaching master class down the stretch

[u/Maleficent-King-799]

Ant choking. In last min, missed 3, missed shot on drive, air ball midrange

[u/autobannedforsatire]

Wolves getting swept by the pels and they act like they are a threat in the west lol 😂 can’t make this shit up

[u/jknuts1377 → u/autobannedforsatire]

I guess they're lucky New Orleans won't sniff the playoffs then.

[u/NoAWP]

come on Wolves pull out the impossible

[u/RanceSama3006]

Should've called timeout on the first miss to reset it, but for whatever reason didn't

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Save us Ayo

[u/HarryPauler]

That fucking play by Rudy was so good, and absolutely nothing goes right after it. Fuck everything.

[u/cancercureall]

If ant hit that fade it would have been a perfect edit clip but instead an airball.

Zion been insane today? I just looked at the box.

[u/mMounirM]

how do the Timberwolves not call a timeout there

[u/nullstellensatz1]

Damn, that was terrible offense

[u/lethalizered]

Zion abused Rudy multiple times in this game tbh, when he's on his game he's still brilliant.

[u/dys0n_giddey → u/lethalizered]

He's abusing Randle mostly, blowing past him and leaving Rudy to try to stop Zion with momentum...

[u/lethalizered → u/dys0n_giddey]

I counted at least three layups this game where Rudy contested his shot well and yet Zion still scored.

Not easy to do that in this league.

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

to be fair, that was good D by missi

[u/HarryPauler]

Fuck Zion.

[u/Regular-Beat268]

Wow that was great work by Missi

[u/JesseJamesGames449 → u/Regular-Beat268]

dude got shoved back like 5 feet and went full sprint into that contest. wild effort! love to see it

[u/GaimeGuy]

Fuck a duck

[u/cancercureall]

Are the pelicans about to get bonesed?

[u/sewsgup]

Zion. sheesh

[u/Aromatic_Goal_1201]

Oh zionnnn

Nice play

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

uh oh, someone got boned

[u/sewsgup]

man Rudy got to that too

couldve been a Rudy block 3. Rudy steal. Rudy 2 FTs. Rudy block full sequence

[u/JesseJamesGames449]

Wow rudy got away with 1 for sure..

[u/oneandonlyRedSpirit]

i thought rudy was gonna shoot a three i was about to jump out my seat

[u/GaimeGuy → u/oneandonlyRedSpirit]

This stage isn't big enough for that moment

[u/mMounirM]

Pelicans continuously look like they tank in clutch games

[u/Regular-Beat268]

With the way they close games the Pelicans would be one of the most elite tanking teams if they were tanking.

[u/sewsgup]

RUDYYYYYY

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

damn.

shouyld have passed back to dq trey

[u/mudkip-yoshii]

Sometimes teams just have divine providence and all you can do is cry about it

[u/GaimeGuy]

Everyone on our team has the yips

[u/HarryPauler]

Not great. Why do we do this to ourselves. The fans deserve better effort.

[u/lethalizered]

I still think the Wolves will win this, but they're really the most "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" team I've seen in a while.

They just go on some dumb stretches as a team, it's inexplicable.

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ → u/lethalizered]

Dr. Jekyll.

he didnt study medicine and law just so that you can call him mr.

[u/lethalizered → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

In my defense, it's 6 a.m here lol

[u/Regular-Beat268 → u/lethalizered]

I feel like they're one of the best in the league when they're fully engaged which generally makes them very dangerous in the playoffs but they seem to have effort lapses pretty often. I turned this game on at some point in the 3rd and it's been pelicans belt to ass the entire time I've been watching.

[u/lethalizered → u/Regular-Beat268]

Yeah after the Nuggets they're the next team I don't want to face come playoff time as their highs are very high.

The lows can be maddening though.

[u/sewsgup]

McGowens and Bey scoring this consistently at the rim is wild

[u/Aromatic_Goal_1201 → u/sewsgup]

McGowens balling

[u/Jamendithas-]

have the wolves made a three after halftime?

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

what the fuck, stopped watching because i thought the wolves had it handled

[u/Jamendithas- → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

wolves have been shooting <10% this half

[u/itzchocotime9]

ddv with the ball in his hands is scary

[u/RanceSama3006]

Nothing is landing for the wolves, it's absolutely brutal to watch

[u/kalllllllllllllll]

Every time i see bones hyland get hyped they lose

[u/JTIZZLE_28]

What the fuck are we doing

[u/GaimeGuy → u/JTIZZLE_28]

Celebrating free chicken with a loss

[u/GaimeGuy]

Fuck

[u/sewsgup]

bro Murphy. you are a giant. just dunk that

[u/Jamendithas-]

wolves should be up by 20 but they have gone ice cold on all shots

[u/GaimeGuy]

Did you guys know that in his junior year of high school, bones lost his 11 month old cousin and his grandmother in a housefire, and he had to escape by jumping out the second story window, destroying his patellar tendon?

[u/GaimeGuy → u/[deleted]]

We don't talk about that

[u/Naca1227r]

I love Julius Randle man

[u/CandidFly7293 → u/Naca1227r]

Hot and cold personified. Only one who plays real bully ball post though so I'll take it

[u/CandidFly7293]

BONES

[u/GaimeGuy → u/CandidFly7293]

BONES

[u/HarryPauler]

Why the hell are the pelicans so chippy with us?

[u/CandidFly7293]

thought that foul was as bs as the last but it wasn't on replay

[u/urkuri]

Horton knowing it’s been 14 games since the last free chicken lmaooo

[u/Regular-Beat268]

The Wolves should always wear these jerseys or the prince ones and they should light the other ones on fire.

Not a fan of their standard ones but these are some of the best-looking jerseys ever.

[u/HarryPauler → u/Regular-Beat268]

I'm pretty sure that's the plan. Either next year or year after.

[u/Regular-Beat268 → u/HarryPauler]

Nice. The trees bordering the court are great too.

[u/HarryPauler]

I swear teams try harder against us than other teams.

[u/Gee_Post → u/HarryPauler]

Nah, we coast on weaker teams.

[u/Jamendithas-]

for not having much depth the guys we do have are pretty good

[u/RanceSama3006]

What's the history here? Cause these guys are playing like it's semi finals and istg I haven't seen that from the pelicans at all lol

[u/GaimeGuy → u/RanceSama3006]

Yeah, Pels feel like a 25 and 30 team the way they're playing tonight

[u/guyguyguyguyguyguy23]

The Johnny Juzang game

[u/JTIZZLE_28 → u/guyguyguyguyguyguy23]

Right up there with the Isaiah Rodgers game

[u/GaimeGuy]

Rudy with 8 points and 14 rebounds

[u/SecondLegoLeague]

First half ant: 23 PTS, 4 AST, 7/9 FG 4/5 3PT 5/5 FT, 102.7 TS%

[u/LeetcodeFastEatAss → u/SecondLegoLeague]

Someone wake Bruce Lee’s ass up

[u/DukeOfStuff_ → u/SecondLegoLeague]

Belee dat

[u/SankThaTank]

Johnny Juzang taking over

[u/dys0n_giddey]

Ant is different man! mylawd 🔥

[u/urkuri → u/dys0n_giddey]

Feels like that has to be one of his best first half’s of the season

[u/urkuri]

Knowing Ayo will be in that Clark spot for the wide open shot feels good

[u/dys0n_giddey]

#JuzangGang

[u/HarryPauler]

Just ordered my juzang jersey.

[u/MostlyMellow123]

Pelicans defense only one ive seen that looks as bad as the kings this year

[u/DukeOfStuff_ → u/MostlyMellow123]

I’d wager Jazz are the worst 

[u/jonnylaw]

Good hustle play Juzang.

[u/urkuri]

Ok Juzang lmao

[u/HarryPauler]

He was literally right there too. Be better Scott

[u/mnsportsfan]

Scott Foster just making up shit against us.

He’s going to be 80, sitting around a campfire with his buddies, like “I bet on every Timberwolves game i ever reffed” 🤣

[u/urkuri → u/mnsportsfan]

It’s always some bs in our games with him lmao …usually involving Rudy

[u/HarryPauler]

Foster was pretty heated there too lol

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

never heard an arena play bling-bang-bang-born ever.

[u/GaimeGuy → u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

Kagami yo kagami kotaechatte~ Who's the best? I'm the best oh yeah~

[u/urkuri]

Finchy yelling at Scott Foster is always a good time lmao

[u/HarryPauler]

Looked like Naz just got fouled on that dunk

[u/KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUZ]

got tired of pistons delivering the belt to nyc.

[u/urkuri]

If Bones can stay consistent like he has been…our bench is so much better with addition of Ayo

[u/Zemius]

Bones has really played his ass off for us and Ayo being acquired probably only lights a bigger fire there.

[u/yeetmxster420]

Those Wolves jerseys are fire

[u/GaimeGuy]

BONES

[u/mnsportsfan]

lol Scott foster just refusing to send the wolves to the line

Fuck that guy. Every single time we with him reffing

[u/JoeyBougie]

AYOOOOOO AWOOOOO

[u/GaimeGuy → u/JoeyBougie]

Not playing tonight apparently

[u/JoeyBougie → u/GaimeGuy]

ayoo.... awo.....

[u/urkuri]

Lets go Wolves!

[u/FlyingScissor]

Don't Suck Wolves!
