You can't beat anyone getting 20 less free throws less than your opponent, especially if that team has the best FT'er in the league. You should win at home if you have homecourt advantage, so I don't wanna hear the what if's and the would-coulda-shouldas. If Spree scored......If KG had a good game......If they would have gotten to the line.... it doesn't matter. They lost the game, the homecourt advantage, and ultimately the series.
Stern was there, the refs called the game as though it was played in Sacto. The T'Wolves never had home court.

Also, the Nuggets let Hassell score, and he did. He will hit open shots... but Spree better god damn well ****ing score. For what he's making, if he can't score he's useless.

One wise guy said the Wolves were in trouble as soon as NBA Commissioner David Stern arrived at Target Center wearing a purple tie (Kings color, get it?). The crew of Bob Delaney, Danny Crawford and Monty McCutchen was especially shaky in the third quarter, slapping six fouls on Minnesota in a span of 96 seconds.

By the end of that quarter, the Wolves managed to pull even at 73-73. But take away Sacramento's freebies and the home team could have been in front by six points or more.

Several of Minnesota's 18 turnovers came when ball handlers got bumped or jostled without whistles. Also, on a number of Garnett's misses, he was getting nudged down low, where refs rarely look.

The Kings know they have the correct gameplan: Hack-an-MVP. Refs don't call it. Never have. The Nuggets were stupid, trying to defend KG, rather than hack him. They fouled him so often because they thought they could stop him. The Kings know better. You can't stop KG, you can only beat him up.

But then, the Nuggets knew that, which is why they abused him IN THE OPEN, instead of in traffic under the basket.

I missed the game. I followed it on NBA.com though.

Let me guess... he took 14 foul shots so he was getting all the calls?

Like I said, the "superstars" get twice that many shots in a game. 14 in a game is considered "stellar" for KG but for an MVP it's only "okay."

Either way, whew, that was some crazy ass play down the stretch. Wolves up 35793207509324 then they're down 10 in a heartbeat, then I'm like, "**** this," and give up... then I go back and they're back in it, then they're back ahead and then win. Honestly, I pegged them for the L.

But then I can usually tell by how the Wolves are playing to see whether they can win or not. Game 1 I knew they were playing well enough to win, but all the no-calls were a huge factor.

Either way, whew. Let's hope the Wolves can take the next three.
