I really don't like the Jazz, but I want them to win this game.

Luka acts like a petulant child.

The more I watch Luka, the more I dislike him. He's become quite full of himself, constantly barking and whining and strutting and any number of such things. He looks like he's trying to outdo the Warriors in this regard. And he's a great player, but I think he hogs the ball too much and is one of those really-high-usage guys who stifles the other players on his team.

He's always been that way, but can you really blame him? He's been the best guy on the court playing against grown men since he was like 14.

Utah got really lucky to win Game 4. Those missed FT by Powell were so bad. I gotta admit I was surprised to see Mitchel make the right play on the game winner.

It would be great if Utah can extend this series.
Yup, good for us and Book's recovery time. Gobert did his best to lose as he missed 6 out of 8 free throws in the last 5 minutes.

Kyrie Erving just slapped a ref on the ass and yelled “Do Better” at him. Did he get Td up? No he didn’t.

I didn't realize they were two separate comebacks
Wow
Only now seeing KAT stat line also

I'm old enough to remember when everyone wanted to trade Ayton for KAT.

Edwards to the locker room with a non contact knee injury. Grizzlies were winning this series regardless, but now it might be a couple of ass whippings coming for the Wolves.

That really sucks for the young Wolves. Hope he will be okay.

He’s back playing, he’s good.

My bad for not updating. He wasn't out long, but it looked dark with the way he left the court.

Wolves win by one. Great to see Pat Bev miss two clutch free throws right at the end. Towns helps keep the Wolves from snatching defeat from grips of victory.
Series tied up 2-2 with the Pups and Bears along with Dallas and Utah.

I'm pretty sure that Wolves/Grizz game was over 3 hours long. Entertaining for sure, but it had more than its fair share of head shaking moments that prolonged game. I'm not excusing Sarver of his asshole behavior, but there are literally people running on the court and stopping playoff games in protest of Glen Taylor, the Wolves owner until 2023.

The Wolves were surprisingly composed. Even Pat Beverley managed to keep his mouth shut late in the game when the Wolves were in control. Maybe they've started to mature a bit (lol), but it sure seems like this series will go to 7 games.

I was watching on “tape” when it happened. Ran it back a few times. That security guard was watching the perp the whole time. Must have known something was up.

Glad Utah won to extend that series a bit, as others have said. Neither team looks scary to me.

Something is way off with KD. C's are defending him well but he looks like he doesn't even want to be there. Looks like he knows they can't win, so what's the point. It's probably also been a frustrating season for him with the Kyrie and Harden stuff, so maybe he just wants to get the series over with and regroup for next year?

Love the security guard being on point and stopping that protestor before anything really happened. Fans are so close to the court it's almost impossible to stop someone if they want to run out there. The way she was dragged off was hilarious too...here's some more info



And this is something we can all relate to

KD closeout games last year vs Celtics plus the 7 Game series against Bucks
Compared to the 3 games this Playoffs

These days the quickest thing the Hot Takes media community do is start saying a series is going to be career defining or alters one's legacy. KD currently shooting 36% FG with 6 TOs per game potentially getting swept is going to make for some interesting reactions
