GDT: Wolves vs. Celtics

[Camden [enjin:6601484]]

Great shot by Ricky Rubio to tie the game up at 124. He always steps up in big moments. The guy has ice in his veins. We're heading to overtime.

Tatum can score.

The Wolves obviously win tonight if they play Ricky Rubio in overtime. You can't leave your best players on the bench when it matters most...

Started typing up a post about how I was kind of annoyed that Edwards didn't get a single shot attempt in overtime, until I checked the box score and realized that the issue was we gave up 22 during that period

Celtics have to much talent to not figure it out eventually. Putting the Nets aside ( and maybe the Sixers) , the Celtics are better than the rest of the East when their clicking on all cylinders. Maybe they hit their stride at the right time like last years Heat team.

The best players in the league usually get theirs. It's all about controlling the supporting cast. I think the Celtics have the edge there.

I didn't see the game live, but just finished watching the first half recording. I'll watch the

First, it's interesting to go back and watch the early part of an overtime game and see all the opportunities the losing team had to win long before the overtime. There were three bad officiating calls that clearly cost the Wolves the game. There were the two no-calls on Okogie break-always early in the first quarter. The first one was clearly a foul as I saw it. The second one didn't look like a foul to me, but the fact that Okogie complained so fervently, tells me it probably was a foul. On the replay you could see Okogie's body turned by what must have been body contact. The next memorable bad call was the worst because it had the biggest impact. I'm referring to the foul call on Towns in the 2nd quarter that should have been an offensive fouls on Thompson who clearly had his right hand on Towns shoulder and pushed off. Thompson ended up with a three-point play that should have been zero points and Wolves possession. The right all on any one of those three would have resulted in a Wolves win in regulation. I know there were a number of other plays that could have going either way, including calls that favored the Wolves. But these three stood out because they didn't happen in a crowd and seemed so obvious.

Second, Okogie had a great game in the first half. It was great to see him get some buckets to bo with his terrific high-energy defense.

Third, I really like DLO and JMac on the floor together.

Fourth, Culver looks like an entirely defeated, demoralized player. His body language is as bad as it gets. He was hanging his head and moping in the first quarter after Towns ignored Culver's spot up in the corner and drove the basket instead. He then moped again when Tatum put a move on him and went in for a layup.
