[Edit: and it looks like the refs are taking pity on us!!! ]

I'm recording the game and will watch it once my honey gets off her board (bored?) call, but I did listen to the first 10 minutes or so in the car on NBA radio. The OkC announcers are terrible! I have never heard so much whining about referees from an announcing team. When SGA fouled Ant on his 3-point attempt, they said "Ant going to the line for 3 after SGA breathed on him!". I'll form my opinion on the refs once we start watching, but these guys are making it sound like they have money on the Wolves!

It's ridiculous Finch did not play TSJ earlier in the season.

Yeah, of all the young guys, he was probably the most NBA-ready. He's 24 years old for cryin' out loud!

I still think his outside shot is a work in progress, but boy is he an absolute freight train in transition. And he is a big, physical defender too.

Clark did about as good of a job guarding SGA as anyone can. We'd be up a lot more if not for once again super cold shooting. These last two games were not a good time for Ant to go cold. Sigh.

Unfortunately, this is nothing for OKC. I doubt they are phased in the least and I expect a rough 2nd half. But that was a fun first half of basketball and it's a great opportunity for our three rookies.

I love NAW, we can't possibly let him go this offseason! Give him what he wants!

Ant has hartenstein guarding him and instead taking him off the dribble he pulls up for a contested 3 instead.

Naz having a hell of a game.
