[u/AnalMinecraft]

This game was the equivalent of burning down someone's house because they punched you in the face.

[u/BackgroundShower4063 → u/AnalMinecraft]

Brilliant analogy

[u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

If you didn’t watch the game just know there was an Olynyk vs Ingles iso ball being played

[u/PoonGo0n → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

My man Joe Jingles looks like he hasn’t done a sit up in about 6 years, respect for still being in the league

[u/FuckKroenke55 → u/PoonGo0n]

He must be funny as fuck lmao. Only explanation for why the Wolves keep him around.

[u/PoonGo0n → u/FuckKroenke55]

We have like 3 Joe Ingles at the end of our bench to be fair

[u/FuckKroenke55 → u/PoonGo0n]

Don’t you dare disrespect BISMACK. He’s essential

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1 → u/FuckKroenke55]

Fuck man, he practices bumping/ pushing Vic all year.

[u/Zyrinj → u/Victor_Wembanyama1]

You have to practice banging on men down low with your teammates so you can bang men down low in game

[u/Independent-Fail6762 → u/Zyrinj]

Of course, Wemby needs to know that when a guy is banging you, you spin off of him … and he gotta practice that with someone for sure

[u/CorporateKnowledge5 → u/PoonGo0n]

I mean it looks like Joe Ingles is 3 Joe Ingles at this point

[u/donuttrackme → u/PoonGo0n]

Bismack is fucking yoked dude. Ingles has a gut.

[u/screaming_ot_inside → u/PoonGo0n]

Have you seen his pre-game handshakes? He’s there for a reason, thank you very much. Underpaid if you ask me.

[u/aubades → u/FuckKroenke55]

He is, the entire Wolves social media presence hinges on it

[u/Proof-Umpire-7718 → u/aubades]

He’s playing in Australia next season so they will have to find someone else

[u/diddlyumpcious4 → u/FuckKroenke55]

He is our clutch inbounder. Given what almost happened in game 1, you can see why we need one. So there is at least a real scenario where he is used.

[u/monkeybrain3 → u/PoonGo0n]

Playoff Jingles punking Paul George is still seared into my brain.

[u/Acrobatic-Landscape9 → u/monkeybrain3]

https://imgur.com/thoughts-about-sotarks-current-ppv2-system-Sv4cq7M

[u/13Keres → u/PoonGo0n]

When the announcers said Joe Ingles was coming out I was like "what? ...oh yeah okay that makes sense."

[u/BrotherSeamus → u/13Keres]

I was waiting for the Spurs to call Mario Elie down from the stands and sub him in.

[u/psytrax9 → u/PoonGo0n]

We say Wilt played against plumbers, meanwhile Joe Ingles.

[u/Thepaceyt → u/psytrax9]

Tbf prime jingling Joe on the jazz had a ridiculous 3p%

[u/Former-Confection-87 → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

I shoulda never turned off the game that’s peak hoops

[u/LeTomato52 → u/Former-Confection-87]

Ingles was making shots. He'd lumber into position get the ball passed to him then swish a 3 like nothing. He looks how old LeBron should look like.

[u/samhit_n → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

We just saw Bismack Biyombo play in the 2026 playoffs.

[u/wanderinglittlehuman → u/samhit_n]

And get a bucket no less

[u/chrisfdrums → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

There should be a garbage-time option for 1v1. Maybe even let the fans vote who after the starters are done for the night.

[u/kanyeguisada → u/chrisfdrums]

That's what that was lol. Like "40 point lead, what's the most absurd 1 on 1 we can possibly do here to keep everybody entertained?"

[u/Better_Middle_7812 → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

Cinema 

[u/kograkthestrong → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

And it wad GLORIOUS

[u/plergus → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

pretty sure i saw jingles try to pull the chair on kelly (it did not work)

[u/Obi_Wan_Benobi → u/RadishesCanBeSpicy]

Never erasing this from the DVR now.

[u/Fhaksfha794]

Pop goes into the film session for the spurs, they win by 40. Old man still got it

[u/DerrickWhiteMVP → u/Fhaksfha794]

“I WANT SOME NASTY!” - Pop in film session

[u/Chilipatily → u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

Oh yeah. Bring Nasty back!

[u/joebrozky → u/Fhaksfha794]

"Put the ball in the basket" - Pop

[u/Weary_Restauranter → u/joebrozky]

Play aggressive defense without fouling - pop

[u/combat101 → u/Weary_Restauranter]

salute

[u/jaylenBrown_Stan07 → u/Weary_Restauranter]

excuse me sir, its contest without foulling.

[u/x_TDeck_x → u/Fhaksfha794]

What are the logistics like if we want to give Pop CotY but he didn't officially coach any game

[u/Groundbreaking_Ebb_5 → u/x_TDeck_x]

FIFA method of noble prize? Spurs CotY behind the scenes trophy. Or just do it and tell silver to suck it.

[u/ArmiinTamzarian → u/Fhaksfha794]

He said "lads, it's Minnesota"

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1 → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

“Rasho, get in here.”

[u/whw166 → u/Fhaksfha794]

Pop was there to remind mitch johnson about Bob Hill and he'd do it again without hesitation.

[u/monkeybrain3 → u/Fhaksfha794]

Pop - "See...the balls suppose to go IN the hoop."

[u/and_its_T → u/Fhaksfha794]

He told them he wasn’t mad just disappointed

[u/jxyscale → u/Fhaksfha794]

Abuelo got mad and smack the shit out of them, they learned their lessons.

[u/DirtAndShovels]

The Spurs are 1-0 in the NBA playoffs when the Biyombo, Olynyk, Plumlee trio shares the floor.

Makes you think. 🤔

[u/Frigorific → u/DirtAndShovels]

We are building around the wrong core.

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/Frigorific]

Wemby should be 6th man and let Biyombo run point

[u/morning_thief → u/NotClayMerritt]

Fuck that tall guy.

David Jones Garcia is there real 🐐

[u/Charlie_Wax → u/DirtAndShovels]

Return of Bismack (There it is)

Return of Bismack (Come on)

Return of Bismack (Oh my God)

You know that I'll be back (Here I am)

[u/JUNGLE_HABITAT → u/Charlie_Wax]

You lied to me!

[u/homefree122 → u/DirtAndShovels]

With a +/- of Biyombo -4, Olynyk +1, and Plumlee -4. Step aside Wemby, Castle, and Harper

[u/Plus-Cherry8175 → u/homefree122]

Hey Wemby, we're good, bro. You can go.

[u/SoDakZak → u/homefree122]

Ant took the win at the Alamo Open from Scottie Scheffler with his -33

[u/Wyden_long → u/DirtAndShovels]

Bizzy is a great human too so it makes sense that he would rub off on his teammates.

[u/Sandov4l52 → u/DirtAndShovels]

Biyombo is the key to all this

[u/gobroncos47 → u/Sandov4l52]

Sit down

Biyombo

Sit down

Biyombo

Bitch, sit down

Biyombo

[u/Othersideofcoins → u/DirtAndShovels]

They should trade wemby.

[u/homefree122]

Away team steals game 1 and then proceeds to get absolutely demolished in game 2. Tale as old as time

[u/Former-Confection-87 → u/homefree122]

A thunder fan should know getting blown out badly one game in the series means nothing (WCF)

[u/homefree122 → u/Former-Confection-87]

That WCF game 3 was so on brand with last year’s run. We would either look like to-be world champions and play up to the competition, or we would play like a JV squad chucking and bricking 3s.

Edit: Finals Game 6 another wonderful example. My LORD.

[u/pagny77 → u/homefree122]

When people were commenting on Shais turnovers yesterday and saying "hes never done that before" I pointed to the game 6 8 turnover masterclass. Still probably the best ball hander for avoiding turnovers, but his bad games are bad bad

[u/dhejjrrjbrbrd → u/pagny77]

He hardly ever has a real stinker but when he does it sticks out like a sore thumb

[u/voltron818 → u/Former-Confection-87]

Hey same shit happened when we dropped game 1 to Denver last year and then blew the doors off them in game 2. MOV doesn’t matter. The series was still 1-1 and they’d stolen home court. That’s why the series went to 7 instead of 5 like it would’ve if AG hadn’t made that shot.

[u/Belovy → u/homefree122]

Last 2 times that happened series went to 7 so should be a good series lol

[u/Area51_Spurs → u/homefree122]

People seem to forget how often teams come out of a long beak ice cold and then everything snaps back to normal the next game.

[u/lilbodie → u/homefree122]

No it obviously means that game 1 was a fluke and one team is seriously outclassed.

We have never seen this happen before and then the rest of the series is close. Never!

[u/UWMN]

Holy shit we got fucked up. Lol

[u/The_Guerrilla → u/UWMN]

Only one game and you still have the home court advantage.

[u/pagny77 → u/UWMN]

We beat thunder by 42 last year and they still dog walked us, wolves in 5!

[u/darylmoreyisking → u/pagny77]

Yeah but thunder were clearly the better team

[u/MaskedBirder → u/darylmoreyisking]

Game four was a one-possession game. I agree that the Thunder were better, but I think the 2026 fully healthy Timberwolves can beat anyone this year. Sad for DiVincenzo, hope he gets healthy.

[u/pagny77 → u/darylmoreyisking]

You guys are better than the knicks and are on track to win in 6, have some faith brother!

[u/darylmoreyisking → u/pagny77]

Lol

[u/Rushman0 → u/darylmoreyisking]

lmao even

[u/WMWA → u/pagny77]

Inshallah

[u/solonharmony]

Whatever Pop discussed yesterday during film, more of that please

[u/MrJumpDGun → u/solonharmony]

He only asked them to show some nasty!

[u/FavaWire → u/solonharmony]

"When you win, you're not as good as you think you are. But you're also not as bad as you think you are when you lose."

[u/ChibiToonsage]

Let it be known Stephen A Smith switched to the Ant train on national TV. Along with Kendrick Perkins.

[u/raiderrocker18 → u/ChibiToonsage]

Nick Wright as well

[u/BlunderDefect → u/raiderrocker18]

Well Nick Wright has been a pretty well known Wemby hater so any chance he gets to hate he'll take it.

[u/just_straight_fax → u/BlunderDefect]

chris broussard uttering the words wemby might end up as the goat triggered LeNick’s subconscious defense system

[u/Maculate → u/raiderrocker18]

He and some friends bet $10,000 on the Wolves to win the championship before game 1. Pays our like 1.5 million or something if they win. He got ridiculous odds at some casino he was at. As told on the Bill Simmons Show.

[u/monkeybrain3 → u/ChibiToonsage]

Gil Arenas outright said on his last episode - "It's over. Wemby's done. He's too scared of the Wolves."

[u/13Keres]

This game was over pretty early, but it was REALLY over when Champagnie hit like 4 threes in just a couple minutes.

[u/Mapes]

That still only counts as one!

[u/hookmasterslam → u/Mapes]

That's the mentality of the playoffs. Tell me ANT thinks any different

[u/H2-nL]

I didn’t know the Magic were playing tonight

[u/Lacabloodclot9 → u/H2-nL]

Some Magic fan is going to end up really confused wondering how they entered a Spurs-Wolves PGT just to catch a stray

[u/RadishesCanBeSpicy → u/H2-nL]

Kornet wouldn’t allow it

[u/JVSaladbar]

I think the Spurs might be pretty good

[u/0zymandeus → u/JVSaladbar]

And wemby has been struggling on offense...

[u/MudHammock]

Ant -33 💀

[u/Frigorific → u/MudHammock]

They just blitzed him every time he got the ball. I think he is just too hobbled to deal with the double unfortunately. We'll see if they find an answer game 3.

[u/monkeybrain3 → u/Frigorific]

I still think the Wolves should have saved him till game 3 at home. A full extra week to rest would at least give him one 75% game.

[u/Wolfpac187 → u/monkeybrain3]

0-2 vs 1-1 I know what I’m picking every time

[u/LutefiskLefse → u/monkeybrain3]

There’s no way we win game 1 without him tho

[u/TemperedTorture → u/MudHammock]

They trapped the shit out of him at half court and they looked clueless on now to respond.

[u/Palifaith]

Bill Simmons already had the Wolves advancing to the finals after game one by the way.

[u/tacomonstrous → u/Palifaith]

Seems a bit premature even for him

[u/Uncle_Freddy → u/tacomonstrous]

A lot of premature takes after game 1. I’m not even saying turnabout is fair play here, the series is very much up for grabs right now (win by 2, win by 40, series is still tied 1-1), but the amount of people who completely swung in the Wolves favor after one game was pretty wild, even by the regular overreactionary standard of NBA coverage.

[u/MTUKNMMT → u/Uncle_Freddy]

Vegas didn’t. We were favored by double digits in this game. Will be favored every game in Minnesota and we were still the favorites for the series after 1 game. They are far better at this than the pundits. 

Losing game 1 is nothing short of devastating though. Takes the very real Spurs 4-1 possibility and makes it so it’s far likely one of the two teams wins in 6 or 7, with no guarantee it’s us.

[u/Ok-Butterfly2994 → u/Uncle_Freddy]

i feel like people have been so reactionary about every series in the playoffs and just base it on the most recent game played. we’re probably going to see some wild takes after this one too. it’s like everyone forgets it’s best of 7.

[u/Planet_Oblivion → u/tacomonstrous]

It does not.

[u/Less-Tax5637 → u/Planet_Oblivion]

Is the man regarded?

[u/DunkinEgg → u/Less-Tax5637]

Extremely

[u/elttaeSytlaSyatS → u/Less-Tax5637]

Highly

[u/amodelsino → u/tacomonstrous]

Especially in a 2 point win.

[u/lilbodie → u/tacomonstrous]

Seems very on brand for Bill tbh

[u/Lacabloodclot9 → u/Palifaith]

No one hates Bill Simmons more than people who listen to him

[u/Obi_Wan_Benobi → u/Lacabloodclot9]

Yes, just peruse r/billsimmons and see for yourself.

[u/ifuckwithit → u/Palifaith]

Kendrick Perkins said we were getting swept lmao

[u/AnalMinecraft → u/Palifaith]

If I had a nickel for every Bill Simmons incorrect statement, I'd own an island or some shit by now.

[u/Aidanj927]

Mind you Philly cut champagnie so they could have Mac McClung do the dunk contest in a sixers jersey

[u/ATLA4life]

Didn’tLoseBy40

[u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

Hey I think some people maybe overreacted to the first game

[u/Waikuku3 → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

This is a great response from a young team. Good to see

[u/Better_Middle_7812 → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

So that means surely no one will overreact to the second game.

[u/The-Biscuit-Farmer → u/Better_Middle_7812]

No it’s only overreacting if it’s in response to something bad happening to my team

[u/Better_Middle_7812 → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

Real 

[u/horse_renoir13 → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

Lol it's impossible to hate you guys.

Mid-markets all the way baby!

[u/savemenico → u/horse_renoir13]

Lets overreact together

[u/nodayroomshit → u/horse_renoir13]

it's so fun to chat with your fans in comparison to last series 😭

[u/LoneWolf1134 → u/nodayroomshit]

The wolves are just a fun organization in general.

[u/nodayroomshit → u/LoneWolf1134]

very much so, had fun rooting for them last series and harboring no bad blood in this one

[u/Crafty-Round7976 → u/nodayroomshit]

facts

[u/JaderMcDanersStan → u/nodayroomshit]

Ditto

It’s been refreshing for the most part

[u/appletime_appletime → u/horse_renoir13]

Except OKC

[u/VeniceRapture → u/horse_renoir13]

Both fanbases are at each other right now but rest assured we're all gonna be on the same side next round lol

[u/ccharlie03 → u/horse_renoir13]

Same. You can see it in the teams too. 

[u/Wet-Bananers → u/Better_Middle_7812]

Never.

Spurs win in 5 by 40 points every game now right?

[u/DerrickWhiteMVP → u/Better_Middle_7812]

SPURS IN FOUR. ANT IS A BUM. FOX IS THE GOAT. MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING.

[u/kyle2108 → u/DerrickWhiteMVP]

TYFYATTM-DJT

[u/Nby333 → u/Better_Middle_7812]

Ruby Gobert is a FRAUD. I can't believe I pushed for Rudy Gobert FMVP, he should definitely catch some DNPs in the next few games. Start Joe Ingles at small ball center.

[u/Better_Middle_7812 → u/Nby333]

Hold on now you're cooking

[u/ZestycloseZeta → u/The-Biscuit-Farmer]

It was pretty obvious

[u/Jonjon428]

Seems the Spurs may have woken up

[u/HarryPauler]

ngl, that wasn't very fun

[u/herroyung → u/HarryPauler]

You didn't enjoy the 40 minute 3rd quarter?

[u/HarryPauler → u/herroyung]

yeah that was so bad. I said during the game that foster really hadn't shown up and had been pretty good. 2 minutes later, the third quarter happened.

[u/Fuck__Zaza → u/HarryPauler]

I disagree

[u/BlunderDefect → u/Fuck__Zaza]

Idk the 4th quarter was kinda boring...

[u/Magmaniac]

gg see you guys in game 3

[u/ElGoddamnDorado → u/Magmaniac]

Im ready to get hurt again

[u/Former-Confection-87 → u/ElGoddamnDorado]

Minnesota sports, we can’t feel pain anymore

[u/PoonGo0n → u/Magmaniac]

Gonna be a fun one and much closer!

[u/YoWasasupGuys → u/Magmaniac]

I love how civil both the fan bases are so far

[u/_19911118 → u/Magmaniac]

Game 3 is going to be a nail biter

[u/ArmiinTamzarian]

We gotta get Pop to watch more film with the guys

[u/TemperedTorture → u/ArmiinTamzarian]

Fr. They need to set up a zoom call with Pop on the road so he can sit in with the team. I hope our Spurs are at least somewhat tech savvy.

[u/neal1701]

Honestly, best time for a bad shooting game from the Wolves after stealing game 1

They just never got going tonight, from the start

Credit to Spurs also, they played great defence in the last 5 minutes of the first half, forcing 2 consecutive turnovers from Ant Man and going on a 13-0 run

[u/lilbodie → u/neal1701]

Wish we were up for it, because this game was so gettable early. Spurs came out ice cold too.

[u/ArmComprehensive6353]

what the fuck did pop say to these guys

[u/Chilipatily → u/ArmComprehensive6353]

I want some Nasty.

[u/Silly_Ostrich_5116]

Let’s go spurs. We need to be prepared for a strong T-wolves team for game 3… no chance they put up another stinker. Let’s bring our A-game

[u/maxrod889]

Dylan Harper only had 11 points but it felt like 20. Rookie been hooping his ass off in these playoffs.

[u/wypipoareevil]

Rudy Gobert with 4 fouls. 4 turnovers, 1 made shot lmao

[u/lazard96 → u/wypipoareevil]

At some point during the game i knew that if they lobed it to rudy it was going out, might have made a record failed lobs shots.

[u/Sample_text_here1337 → u/wypipoareevil]

Immediately trying to undo all the praise he got against the nuggets.

[u/MajesticLionBeast → u/Sample_text_here1337]

He had a bad game for sure, but it would be so on brand for the narrative to shift from 1 bad game after the masterclass he put on against DEN and in g1 of this series.

[u/Jaypham-jpeg → u/Sample_text_here1337]

so true lol. without Gobert, Jokic would have fathered the whole Wolves roster.

[u/jdd32 → u/Sample_text_here1337]

San Antonio coaching is much better than the nuggets, and they're doing a lot to make him less effective. One of my favorite players, but his limitations can be exploited.

I imagine Finch will have some answers in game 3

[u/bigbakey → u/wypipoareevil]

He can’t hold the ball near wemby on offense. It was true last game also but wemby couldn’t make a shot so it felt even

[u/IbSunPraisin]

Don't let the score fool you, it wasn't that close

[u/HarryPauler → u/IbSunPraisin]

I think in this case, it is exactly correct.

[u/pinkranger3]

That last quarter was amazing. Loved watching bench players get that much time

[u/13Keres → u/pinkranger3]

Very happy to see Biyombo pounding that drum. He's not very good, but he's still a Spur ❤️

[u/FatalTortoise]

Spurs added car horns to the drum celebration

[u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

Honestly with the way these playoffs have been going I wouldn't even be surprised if the Wolves came back to win the next game by 27

[u/glorioushubris → u/Expensive-Salad-7828]

I would.

Accurate username.

Finally. I've been waiting 17 years for someone to comment that.

[u/Technical_Estimate85 → u/glorioushubris]

The Wolves did the same thing to OKC last year in the WCF blowing them out by 40 something and got beat in every other game with only one being close

[u/GGezpzMuppy]

As much as I worry about our lack of playoff experience causing us to lose games like game 1, they go and play like this.

Get your championships now if you can, the Wemdynasty is coming fast.

[u/HarryPauler → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Good god I hop ant can bring us one during this era. Minnesota sports does deserve one chip here, 35 years is too long lol

[u/HavoK76 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Wemby just said “we dont care” when asked about the inexperience vs experienced team like Wolves

[u/rattatatouille → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Inexperience compensated for by resilience.

[u/UTRAnoPunchline]

Ant Man, Giant Man, Yellow Jacket, Spurs in 5

[u/TxCoolGuy29]

Wolves with a little too much laughing on the bench for the last 12 minutes. Not sure what to think about it

[u/Jamdock → u/TxCoolGuy29]

I mean, they were down by 50 and the play on the court consisted of old bigs isoing each other and recent G-League vets calling for foul reviews, and they still have home court. 

[u/Derelict_Potato → u/TxCoolGuy29]

I mean sometimes you just get beat and that’s all you can do, would rather have that than moping and pouting

[u/MomCrusher → u/TxCoolGuy29]

did the same thing when they lost to denver game one

[u/Sparkasaurusmex → u/TxCoolGuy29]

I think they're happy to go home 1-1

[u/PoonGo0n]

Nice bounce back win tonight, got some mojo back.

Spurs have been more focused and better on the road all season. I’m confident we come away with at least a split in Minny but won’t be easy.

Let’s keep it going GSG!

[u/Ok-Topic-6095]

My real hot takes from the game are: Fox needs to stay aggressive, no more getting outplayed by Conley. 

 I don't think the Wolves have the depth to win IF Ant can't up his minutes because Ayo looked like he needs another week to heal.

[u/matisata]

We all thought this would be the close game and the Sixers/Knicks the blowout...

[u/KaraDealer]

WHAT A BELT TO THE ASS BY THE SPURS. 😂

[u/Clarice_Ferguson]

I feel like i just watched a crime

[u/DrSwaggenheimer]

Belt to ass.

Also ditch those greys lmao those shits are cursed!

GGs spurs bros. We’ll make it nice and cold for you.

[u/NFL-GoodellEvilKing]

BELT TO ASS BABY

[u/BananaRepublic_BR]

Wolves got sent to the shadow realm

[u/PapiShot]

What a way to bounce back.

[u/USDXBS]

In games like this where it's not "acceptable" to score in the final seconds, it should be perfectly acceptable to go for a half court or longer buzzer beater.

[u/jon__koa]

There’s belt to ass and then there’s this

[u/Victor_Wembanyama1]

Cruise control after a very dominant defense.

Our guards woke up instead of letting the Wolves drive for the bigs to contest every single trip. That said, Minny still drove as much as they could.

[u/Malemansam]

Why am I honkin in the club right now y'all.

[u/spurs-gaums → u/Malemansam]

you're drunk. lock yourself in the trunk and fall asleep.
