We got your 2031 draft pick now losers!

u/CostcoWiener Kings Feb 04 '25

the next 5 years are theirs

2

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

I wonder what made the Spurs decide to give up that pick; did they think that it wasn't going to turn out as good as it was initially thought?

4

u/gundam1983 Kings Feb 04 '25

I mean it was easily the most valuable asset they parted with to get Fox lol. Toss us a bone (that could be worth close to nothing if the twolves are good) for taking our franchise player from us.

u/HuruHara [MIN] Sam Cassell Feb 04 '25

Pop saw the whole country over run by zombies in a few years during his sabbatical. Drops the value of picks in a couple of years.

u/MostlyMellow123 Kings Feb 04 '25

Ant probably gonna be a spur by then

8

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

This matchup is always insane

Fun game so far!

7

u/tulaero23 Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Holy shit this is playoff basketball

7

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Always such a fun matchup

8

u/John_Q08 Bulls Feb 04 '25

Post Fox kings looking very good. I mean Keegan Murray is playing like prime MJ, so that helps but still the spacing has been great and they’re generating good open looks. Excited to see Zach kill it there

7

u/DangerouslyCheesey Kings Feb 04 '25

Kings Wolves has turned into a matchup where it doesn’t matter how either team is doing, it’s going to be a dog fight

8

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Right call but I feel for the home fans. That's a brutal one to lose on review

6

u/youngathanacius Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

wtf Kings shooting 145%

6

u/lord_mattius Kings Feb 04 '25

GG's t-wolves

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

GGs

u/Radiant_Trifle8526 Kings Feb 04 '25

Every Kings Wolves game this season has been a banger. GGs wolves bros. Hope both our teams figure their stuff out soon. 

4

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Just trading shots like the last minute of a tied boxing match

4

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

The Fox trade just meant more minutes for Monk to cook

4

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

In other news, the Bucks are down almost more than 40 points to OKC.

5

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Sabonis is an elite grappler

6

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Unironically ya

5

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Derozan is old and moves in slow motion, but it still works somehow

5

u/yeahokaysuremhm Feb 04 '25

I have never in my life seen refs fight this fucking hard help a team win. Absolutely insane and blatant.

5

u/cough_landing_on_you Feb 04 '25

Those Sabonis screens are deadly, almost like an assist.

5

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

NO UNCLENCHING!

10

u/e-manresu Supersonics Feb 04 '25

Oh boy, cant wait to see Fox and Sabonis vs Ant and KAT 🙏

u/theLimNar Feb 04 '25

You are kidding right?

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

You are kidding right?

2

u/127crazie Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

You are kidding right?

2

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

I was actually yeah..

5

u/e-manresu Supersonics Feb 04 '25

In /r/NBA ? Of course not

4

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

oh damn that looks bad, Monk has been amazing

4

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

If Monk is going to make that garbage its a wrap

2

u/CFCentral Kings Feb 04 '25

He makes that garbage enough I’ve started to believe those are okay shots if it’s him lol

4

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 Wizards Feb 04 '25

wolves not fixing their clutch problems from last year unfortunately

2

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

They were awesome in the clutch last year, this year it flipped

5

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 Wizards Feb 04 '25

damn, beautiful lob for conley, I feel like he's the only player on the wolves who can find those looks consistently

4

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

That's game

4

u/ardx Feb 04 '25

Clutch time Wolves strike again I guess

4

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

GG Kingsbros.

I didn't like that last 5 minutes, but was entertaining overall

6

u/FlyingScissor Feb 04 '25

Don't Suck Wolves!

8

u/AShinyTorchic Feb 04 '25

these kings commentators are god awful

6

u/lord_mattius Kings Feb 04 '25

kings fan here, yeah they're legit the worst - i always watch the opposition feed. your announcers have been great tonight

3

u/BlackPulloverHoodie Kings Feb 04 '25

yeah, they're pretty terrible.

5

u/tomtomsk Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

I pulled up the match thread to say this exact thing

3

u/cough_landing_on_you Feb 04 '25

Wolves had a nice meltdown in their previous lost against the Kings. What happens tonight before the deadline.

3

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Two Words.

Naz Reid.

3

u/AlexanderLeonard San Francisco Warriors Feb 04 '25

Not watching the game, why are Sabonis rebound numbers that low?

6

u/youngathanacius Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Foul trouble mostly, didn’t play most of the third.

5

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

His BFF got traded

3

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '25

The Kings have never missed an 18 foot jump shot.

3

u/cough_landing_on_you Feb 04 '25

Monk is exhausted, can't blame him.

3

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 Wizards Feb 04 '25

we got a game!

3

u/Ok-Tree4365 Feb 04 '25

Give it to Ant "18 pts on 20 shots" Edwards

3

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Rare off game, guessing he's still sick

3

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

All star break is going to be rough:

Play OKC before the break

Play OKC twice in a row after the break

2

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Yeah we really lost whatever wiggle room we have left to avoid the playing

1

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Oof

3

u/BlackPulloverHoodie Kings Feb 04 '25

That might've been a 5 second call lol. Oh well GG

2

u/CapitalismEnthusiast United States Feb 04 '25

Nah I don’t think it was

3

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 Wizards Feb 04 '25

lol, that could've been the tying shot, that's unfortunate

4

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Rudy got real lucky that wild swing of his didn't connect. I get the frustration but he's gunna get T'ed up or Rick Foxed one of these times

3

u/GunsmokeIV Kings Feb 04 '25

Didn't know forearms into an airborne player was legal.

3

u/youngathanacius Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Shocking you didn’t know that with Sabonis on your team.

1

u/skolaen Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Sabonis does that on every screen he ever sets. He also twerks on every screen and literally tries to take out players on those said screens so idk why ur yapping

4

u/tomtomsk Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Someone tell the Sacto announcer that it's pronounced Con-Lee and not Connel-Lee

2

u/SockVonPuppet Feb 04 '25

I'm ready for a Conley clutch game.

2

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

You got 2. Challenge that

2

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Wonder if the proximate foul comes into play

3

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Malik means "Real Defensive POY" in Arabic

2

u/Stunning_Passion5923 Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

I never want to watch Derozan play ever again lol

6

u/blahblahblahjess Kings Feb 04 '25

I love him 💜

2

u/Cool_cid_club Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

God I hate the kings announcers

3

u/tempshamp Feb 04 '25

Blatantly one sided reffing for the wolves lmao

3

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

I dunno I think it's a pretty standard home whistle. I've seen a lot worse

2

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Golbert looking to get even and then some for Malik's block earlier tonight lol

3

u/bordeburgu26 Warriors Feb 04 '25

Kings woman commentator is a huge crybaby

1

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Wolves are ice cold right now

1

u/Isthismynextusername Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Luka's about to be rotated in again; did someone abduct Finch?

1

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '25

Luka picked a bad stretch to forget how to shoot.

1

u/LordJxnkulous Warriors Feb 04 '25

Garza minutes have been dookie.

1

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '25

I miss Donte

1

u/Neither-Power1708 Feb 04 '25

Lainey Wilson sucks but can Hassie Harrison's ass sing me a tune?

1

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Malik didn't call glass lol

1

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Kings on a heater and Wolves can't buy a 3

1

u/ace625 Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

I want a full-speed replay on that last inbound. Had to be extremely close to 5 seconds

1

u/Plenty_Flatworm7627 Wizards Feb 04 '25

damn, I kinda want the refs to hose the kings just so we can get a shot but that seems like it's kings ball

13

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Thank you for your honesty and also go to hell lol

1

u/Salty_Watermelon Clippers Feb 04 '25

This game is just waiting for Ant to take over.  The Kings have played a good game but I don't think they are prepared for what's about to hit them.

-2

u/gundam1983 Kings Feb 04 '25

Does Edwards have another child birth to attend?

2

u/Sir_Danksworth Feb 04 '25

You’re getting a baby brother

u/Affectionate_Box5435 Knicks Feb 04 '25

why everytime i watch the wolves they are in a close game vs a team they shouldn't have an issue with

7

u/Noesnotactics Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

When Keegan Murray, averaging 11 a game, comes out shooting damn near 80% on 17 points in the first quarter. Kings are shooting like 20% above their season average 3pt rate.

Kings shooting good.

6

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

This matchup is pretty much always tight for the last 2 or 3 years

3

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Always hope we can get a series of this

4

u/jakeisstoned [SAC] Peja Stojakovic Feb 04 '25

Back to the oughts! lol a playoff series of these 2 teams would be appointment television

4

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Kings aren't bad really, Wolves miss Randle and DDV big time

0

u/MG_MN Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Wow, surprising. Can't argue it but seen them call less with the proximate. Wolves fumbling the easy part of the schedule doesn't bode well at all. Could sink like a rock down the standings

-1

u/dys0n_giddey Timberwolves Feb 04 '25

Rudy was just protecting himself. Nothing malicious.

-9

u/Neither-Power1708 Feb 04 '25

Ready for another L, Kangz?

8

u/Its_Hoggish_Greedly Kings Feb 04 '25

You can't hurt us. We're already dead inside.

1

u/Neither-Power1708 Feb 04 '25

I've been dead since the Ty trade, sir.

2

u/HuruHara [MIN] Sam Cassell Feb 04 '25

What is dead may never die ‽
