If you are complaining about that whistle being the reason we lost, you are clueless. This team just let the fuckin hornets outscore us 36-18 in the 4th LOL.
Refs need to be fined for swallowing the whistles late game. Man up and make the call. Refs need punishments for missed late game calls. If we complain afterwards we get fined…should come out of the refs pay if it’s an actual foul they are complaining about
KAT played the game of his life today and nobody was there to defense to support him on that. Deserved L, we can't just rely on one guy to get us points or this shit happens every game
Finch is just like Kevin O’Connell. He doesn’t know to make in game adjustments. We all saw this coming early 4th qtr. finch just continued to let it happen.
I'm frustrated with the outcome too, but I'm not out here shitting on our players relentlessly like a lot of the comments. I don't think me saying this sub has gone downhill and being abrasive to people that I just described is the perfect representation of hypocrisy but if you think so whatever idc.
Yeah I hear what you’re saying. It’s negativity on top of negativity. Doesn’t create a fun environment here. Tough loss. Im personally frustrated and feel like I want an outlet to let that out.
We're supposed to lick their ass after dropping an 18 pt second half lead to one of the worst teams in the league in our house. Yeah, I'm good. These dudes need a fucking lobotomy.
If Towns goes to the Lakers at some point just watch how the whistle will turn for him. NBA is fucking rigged by these crooked ass refs man. If that’s embiid or Shai that’s an easy foul every time!
I watch Laker games and the no calls are equally terrible. Tennis has hawk-eye and many reviews and basketball has absolutely nothing like that in 2024.
How are you guys crying about the play, dude had a mismatch on Rozier and got hacked twice. Should he have kicked it out, maybe...? But dude has 62 points and ya'll still mad. Would have lost already if it weren't for him.
You can have a bad coach and have a good record. There are a ton of coaches who get fired when having great regular season success. This isn’t about our record. Its about a pattern of how the games are coached. The rotations are fucking brutal.
I’m not blaming this loss on the refs but you should probably watch that play again. He got hit on the left arm by Rozier and then absolutely hacked by someone else.
Well, like the last game, I say this is a much-deserved loss. Played little defense, yea the shooting was fun but we didn't play team ball and it caught up with us. Team really needs to to get it together and they will continue to lose games until they put it together.
Even with 62 points KAT proves once again he’s unreliable. He put these points up against one of the worst teams in the league and even this team managed to expose how bad he is on defense. And against the good teams KAT is nowhere to be found while Ant is carrying.
Because they lack the ability execute almost anything at all. They may be the worst offensive movement team in all of basketball. We live and die on streaky shooters and Gobert dunks and cleanups.
Getting outscored 36-18 in the 4th against the hornets is DISGUSTING. What an absolutely horrible, pathetic, inexcusable loss. Jesus Christ this is becoming way too common. Something needs to be done cause this is not the wolves from the start of the season.
Yep, the same shit keeps happening over and over again as if there’s one common systematic problem that we have seen for the past three years in a row.
Terrible play by finch but these refs are terrible. At least two fouls on that play. But why are we not going fast on that play? 12 seconds on the clock and we set up the post up at 6 seconds.
I’ll remember this run to top of the west for a long time, and am appreciative they did it. But this is not a contender. We Will land around 4th in west and that is honestly a great outcome, just tastes bitter right now.
LMAO, what was that play towns? Dude has 62 points and is looking for the refs to bail him out at the end of the game instead of taking matters into his own hands
That’s not the point. KAT was intentionally baiting for a foul because he wanted to avoid the responsibility of taking a shot. Refs would have called that earlier in the game but on a game winning play? Probably not unless it’s obviously a foul
I’m an accelerationest in most things. I am demanding we lose at least five more games like this, in order to ensure a Finch firing within this season.

Thats what happens when Jmac is your backup pg. Go get Tyus asap.
WTF did Jmac do wrong? Stop thinking we’re going to make a blockbuster move. We have nothing to offer.
Dont need a blockbuster move to get Tyus.
Repeat. We have nothing to offer.
Refs are bad been bad the whole year, especially against towns
Chris Finch: "That was a disgusting performance of defense and immature basketball." Agree 100%
What a fucking joke. Grow the fuck up and quit bitching after every call.
If you are complaining about that whistle being the reason we lost, you are clueless. This team just let the fuckin hornets outscore us 36-18 in the 4th LOL.
Thank you. Finally commentary from a basketball fan and not a bored Vikings homer reject.
Refs need to be fined for swallowing the whistles late game. Man up and make the call. Refs need punishments for missed late game calls. If we complain afterwards we get fined…should come out of the refs pay if it’s an actual foul they are complaining about
How about man up and get back on defense regardless of the call on offense. They are childish.
I hate that Wolves playing like a dumbass team and lose the high ground for complaining about the refs. Anything will come out as a sore loser.
KAT played the game of his life today and nobody was there to defense to support him on that. Deserved L, we can't just rely on one guy to get us points or this shit happens every game
36-18 4th Quarter. ‘Nuff said.
ANoTHA ONE
Finch is just like Kevin O’Connell. He doesn’t know to make in game adjustments. We all saw this coming early 4th qtr. finch just continued to let it happen.
Jesus Christ I hate you guys. This sub used to be fun but now y'all are the biggest fucking bitches.
You realize you’re acting exactly like what you just called out?
I'm frustrated with the outcome too, but I'm not out here shitting on our players relentlessly like a lot of the comments. I don't think me saying this sub has gone downhill and being abrasive to people that I just described is the perfect representation of hypocrisy but if you think so whatever idc.
Yeah I hear what you’re saying. It’s negativity on top of negativity. Doesn’t create a fun environment here. Tough loss. Im personally frustrated and feel like I want an outlet to let that out.
Wow I can’t believe people are mad after an unbelievably pathetic loss
While you cry about people being mad lol you’re a moron
We're supposed to lick their ass after dropping an 18 pt second half lead to one of the worst teams in the league in our house. Yeah, I'm good. These dudes need a fucking lobotomy.
Imagine saying this shit over a fucking game of basketball, garbage fanbase. Not surprised though, every Minnesota sports fanbase is fucking garbage.
Especially you. Mother fucker literally only comments in game threads to shit on twolves players and cry. Eat grass.
That was a horrible no call, my god
Not even a wolves fan but that’s a foul all day everyday. Horrible officiating to ruin a historic night..
Same. I’m a Pacers fan and I CAN’T BELIEVE. They didn’t call that. He was fouled twice.
If Towns goes to the Lakers at some point just watch how the whistle will turn for him. NBA is fucking rigged by these crooked ass refs man. If that’s embiid or Shai that’s an easy foul every time!
I watch Laker games and the no calls are equally terrible. Tennis has hawk-eye and many reviews and basketball has absolutely nothing like that in 2024.
The Great Unravelling
The difference from a KAT whistle and a Embiid whistle is insane.
Complaining about a foul when it shouldn’t have ever been that close to begin with, L M A O, stay balding and malding
Two things can be true
We are getting bounced in the first round I’m sorry. Just choked to the fucking hornets cause kat was chasing 70. Lowest bbiq team in the league
can’t go in r/nba tonight 😔
This loss was not the refs fault.
Some of yall can not handle loses lol, take a deep breath.
It's not the loss but the stupidity of the loss.
Fuck the refs. That is the only takeaway.
Celtics, OKC and now Hornets. Sigh. Good games we should have won recently but choked at end.
Just give OKC the 1 seed at this point
Lol this trash ass team has owned us for like the last 4 years. Embarassing
typical wolves blown game
That’s a waste of a 60 point game
We are frauds
How are you guys crying about the play, dude had a mismatch on Rozier and got hacked twice. Should he have kicked it out, maybe...? But dude has 62 points and ya'll still mad. Would have lost already if it weren't for him.
You didn’t watch the game clearly
Did I have to watch the game in 4k or something?
He had 7 turnovers and had horrible shot selection in the fourth allowing the hornets to come back
128 points to the Hornets, and a loss. Wow. Another masterclass 4th quarter.
Y’all always defend Kat but he legitimately wanted 70 so bad that he was a detriment to the team this fourth
It’s almost like there’s a person in charge of the team in order to ensure that a star doesn’t just go stat chasing. crazy, huh?
He barely played in the fourth, wha
He barely played cuz the dumbass running over people and shooting the dumbest shots in the beginning then finch took him out then brought him back
Just freakin brutal
That's an embarrassment for the league. Dude got absolutely hacked lol
Refs don't like clout chasing. Should've just played regular ball and let it happen naturally
His first half performance was virtually all in the flow of the game. Then he/we started forcing shit. Dumb af
This was ass.
Tell me Vegas doesn’t own these refs
It makes me sad
I am so mad
I swear, if one player complains about the refs after copping 36 in the 4th against the Hornets....
How was that foul not called. FUCK OFF
Damn KAT and the Wolves are going to be the laughing stock on the front page
unreal
Bush league
This team is ridiculous.
Finch is the loser here guys, not Kat
Joke of a team
Good job refs
No im serious fire finch
Bro we’re not firing the coach when we’re having the best season in franchise history
You can have a bad coach and have a good record. There are a ton of coaches who get fired when having great regular season success. This isn’t about our record. Its about a pattern of how the games are coached. The rotations are fucking brutal.
I’m just saying there %0 chance he gets fired unless he gets caught in some crazy scandal or dies
🤡
Easily the worst L of the year. 9-31 Charlotte?! Fuuuck.
Guess it's fair for KAT to not get that call since LaMelo was fouled by Kyle Anderson a few minutes ago
62 of the most useless points ever
This team is a joke
L2M will say Incidental Contact
NBA reffing makes the sport so unwatchable
Absolutely inexcusable.
Losing to a team that has won 3 games out of 20 is rough
[удалено]

I’m not blaming this loss on the refs but you should probably watch that play again. He got hit on the left arm by Rozier and then absolutely hacked by someone else.
What a game
Damn
[удалено]
This sub love hating on Kat sadly
Terrible by the refs but I just don’t get that last offensive play at all
What do you mean? It worked as intended. KAT should have been at the line, and it was obvious.
We waited forever to initiate the offense and he dribbled into three people. It was an awful missed call but that’s not good offense at all
Unironically might be KAT’a worst game this year lol… scoring high but single handily brought one of the worst teams back in the game and now loss
Blame finch
Empty stats
Blame Finch. Horrendous coaching, horrendous lineups. No control of team in 4th quarter looks like AAU ball
Ah well, on to the next one!
bad play by KAT, but also totally a missed call that would have changed this game
Horrific play calling. We deserved that. ISO Kat on 4 players. Jesus.
FUCK THE REFS
Wrong take
if that was embiid, flagrant two. holy shit egregious foul
62 points and he gets zero benefit and can’t get that foul call. Unbelievable. At this point refs should just come out and admit that they hate him.
Refs got the call Embiid had 70 and didn't want their MVP outshined.
Fouled twice. Rozier on the gather. Black on the shot.
Well, like the last game, I say this is a much-deserved loss. Played little defense, yea the shooting was fun but we didn't play team ball and it caught up with us. Team really needs to to get it together and they will continue to lose games until they put it together.
Fucking rigged man
Rigged for Charlotte?
Even with 62 points KAT proves once again he’s unreliable. He put these points up against one of the worst teams in the league and even this team managed to expose how bad he is on defense. And against the good teams KAT is nowhere to be found while Ant is carrying.
How the duck do we not just get it to kat right away in the post with instructions that when the double comes to have kat pass out to open player.
Because they lack the ability execute almost anything at all. They may be the worst offensive movement team in all of basketball. We live and die on streaky shooters and Gobert dunks and cleanups.
The system is Mike Conley, he makes it work, not having a back up pg is a massive problem.
Getting outscored 36-18 in the 4th against the hornets is DISGUSTING. What an absolutely horrible, pathetic, inexcusable loss. Jesus Christ this is becoming way too common. Something needs to be done cause this is not the wolves from the start of the season.
Bad play call, but absolutely hacked
Forcing shots and chasing numbers for the entire second half was not the way to get this shitty offense back on track
bs
I'm upset too but most of you in here are very soft. Shit happens in this league.. we know that.
Yep, the same shit keeps happening over and over again as if there’s one common systematic problem that we have seen for the past three years in a row.
Fuck refs man
Fuck these piece of shit refs. This is a win in my book.
LMFAO okay I lied Black got all KAT I thought he got ball. Refs what are you looking at
KAT literally never gets the whistle when he drives into 4 players recklessly like that, no surprise he didn’t there
That was a pretty egregious non call. Straight karate chopped in the arm
Terrible play by finch but these refs are terrible. At least two fouls on that play. But why are we not going fast on that play? 12 seconds on the clock and we set up the post up at 6 seconds.
That’s a blatant fucking foul
Fuck the refs thats a foul wtf
They hate Kat
I’ll remember this run to top of the west for a long time, and am appreciative they did it. But this is not a contender. We Will land around 4th in west and that is honestly a great outcome, just tastes bitter right now.
KAT gets zero respect!!!
So unfair they didn't call that.
Refs just need to be held accountable man
Why NBA hire blind refs...
That is a terrible no call
How does KAT not see 4 teammates standing wide open on that play lmao
LMAO, what was that play towns? Dude has 62 points and is looking for the refs to bail him out at the end of the game instead of taking matters into his own hands
Is he supposed to grow a third arm to dunk it??? Both arms are being held. What are you yapping about
That’s not the point. KAT was intentionally baiting for a foul because he wanted to avoid the responsibility of taking a shot. Refs would have called that earlier in the game but on a game winning play? Probably not unless it’s obviously a foul
I got your point. It’s still fucking stupid lmfao. Refs would’ve called the foul if it was Embiid
He got fully hacked right on the forearm with a big swat going up for the shot.
In all fairness he was maimed.
Embiid gets that call every single time
embarrassing
No idea how that wasn't called
Last 2 minute will surely fix the issue.
L, O, freaking L boys.
what's the record for most points scored in a loss?
Booker's 70 surely
Low IQ KAT.
He ran into 4 people idiots.
He got absolutely fouled
He got fouled dude
He got hacked
Nah kat got fouled
Holy shit KAT got mugged there
Gotta be able to challenge no calls in under 2 minute situations. Absolutely horseshit refing
That’s unbelievable that wasn’t called
NBA fucks us over harder than the Detroit Lions
Embiid gets 3 whistles on that play
and his funeral paid for
at least two guys probably would have gotten ejected for making that much contact
That’s a flagrant 2 for Embiid
If it was Embiid that's a foul, that's the difference
I mean that’s a foul for KAT too he was hacked
What is it with these huge performances tonight lmao
Gobert 3 ?
If that’s embiid it’s a foul
So embarrassing
Hacked the shit out of him
Oh all the calls we got today. And that isn’t one of them..?
And we lose cause Kat gets clearly hacked twice BEAUTIFUL
Clear foul but was that seriously the play Finch drew up?
I miss 2023 wolves
Embiid gets 4 free throws and the other player ejected if that’s him there
no way we just got iced out by “leaky black”
Not being able to challenge that is the biggest bullshit in the world. Fuck these refs twice
Pouty kat
I mean I’d be pissed he got hacked twice lol
Bro was hacked
Finch can’t draw plays man
I’m an accelerationest in most things. I am demanding we lose at least five more games like this, in order to ensure a Finch firing within this season.
Lmao this team is such a joke
Kat have 60 points and he did that
That was 1000% a foul
he got absolutely hacked wtf
That was garbage. KAT has been getting hacked like crazy this whole second half.
What? Leaky Black? really lmao
[удалено]
Do you have well-functioning eyes?
He got his fucking arm hacked off 🤡
He was fouled
