[Highlight] Wemby and Ant trading buckets down the stretch in the 4th
This sequence stamped this as one of my all time favorite regular season games. It was just a good ass game. Neither team tripped over themselves down the stretch just high level basketball with great shot making.
Except when Mark Davis decided to insert his dumb ass in to the proceedings with the delay of game. I swear to God these refs egos are so inflated. There was not one person that wanted that call there.
Refs always doing extra
It’s a bummer because Marc Davis is such a good ref. He’s the most let them play crew chief in the league.
Maybe just a bad decision in the moment. But yeah, just stay out of the way
The refs this game were extra insufferable
Yeah, there was the weird early tech on Ant and they completely messed up the second Wolves challenge and then acted as if they didn’t even care to look at the Spurs second lol
Also what the hell did Chris Finch do to get a tech in the last 20 seconds?
Finch was upset about the no call when Wemby hip checked Beringer on the block and Davis took that personally
I just wanna know if he called them bozos or motherfuckers again
I don’t understand these refs sometimes. They did the same thing to Ime a couple days ago after another blown call.
Its funny how people say this about like 60% of all games
It’s nasty.. whenever i see a delay of game, or lane violation called.. i immediately think it’s something nefarious.. that shit happens every possession
Was the game delayed?
it was a close one, but in the end the refs pulled it out
They need some air time. No better way to get some head shots than delay of game. Refs wants to be seen on TV too you know.
Same thoughts from the other side - this was just a damn good game. Seven games of this would be epic.
fuck no. i’m too young to die of 7 heart attacks
I have to imagine the second round of the playoffs in the west involve 4 of the top 5 seeds currently. (Maybe Lakers turn it around) but health pending that would be an awesome stretch of games.
Stuff like this is what marks players as superstars. Not that Ant or Wemby weren’t that already, but this is what superstars are meant to be.
Jokic Shai Ant Wemby Giannis
That’s the top 5 list. Don’t care about the order. Those are the 5 best players in the world.
You forgot Reggie, Jay-Z, Tupac and Biggie
I already knew he was good but this game showed me that Ant is really that fucking guy. Goddamn it’s gonna be fun to watch him.
I’m a wolves fan but I love how much of a gamer Wemby is. That out of bounds play where Ant and Julius were absolutely mugging him and Wemby was just like try and stop me mfers was great. I love watching these teams play each other.
Truth be told, more scared of y’all and Denver than OKC. I think we matchup well against OKC. Spurs seem to have them semi figured out. That said, playoffs are a different atmosphere. Game slows down.
I think Denver and y’all have better half court game.
No I hear ya. I think every top West team has a best matchup and worst and I’m pretty sure they’re all different.
Ant’s threes were all nothing but net, this guy was walking on water. Wild
He was so fucking locked in it was breathtaking
I picked one game to go to this season and I picked this one way in advance so I could potentially see Wemby and Ant play each other… Ant Man dropping a new career high and Wemby doing Wemby shit… Couldn’t had asked for a better game!!
Genuinely best game of the season
Feels like a lot of Wemby games end up like that.
Yeah the league is gonna be fine post Bron, Steph and KD
It is already
we got Bronny 🙏🏽
We’re good LeBron, Bronny is here
“We fine in the west” -Bronny
Bronny, for 3! BANG! And the Lakers cut the lead down to 41!
And LeBron third and forth prime
We already are post Bron Steph and KD. Those guys are side characters compared to SGA, Wemby, Ant etc.
Kd low-key carrying the rockets offense tbh, Steph still having some big games too. Bron in a weird spot tho
FORREAL! The game has evolved, is more international, more 7 foot aliens, more baby mama drama. It’s got everything.
There was a game with two players who share a baby momma. And one player hit a game winner over the other lmao.
Baby mama drama is alright, but the league really needs some openly gay players so you can get WNBA-style ex drama.
I could be misremembering but there was one fight where I think it was one player taking the side of her girlfriend, who was on the opposing team, over her ex, who was on her current team.
That also happened in the NFL where Marshawn Lynch tried to fight his own teammate to protect a guy on the opposing team who was from Marshawn’s hometown Oakland
Send da video
I’m gonna miss Steph 😢
The league made it through the post MJ, Magic, and Bird. It’ll be fine no matter what
The one time i decide not to watch the spurs lmao
you missed out on a 4th quarter masterpiece man
You missed out on a great 25pt comeback followed by an amazing clutch time b2b between the two of them
Best game of the year idc what anyone says
There’s the spurs warriors game nba cup it was crazy
The Spurs cup run had some great games in it
Spurs are must-see TV. Their vegas game against okc was also a BANGER.
I got 2 Words for ya. Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards Must See TV
“That’s more than two words.”
That’s my pick for game of the year.
I personally disagree
Username checks out perfectly
This game has it all, blow out game, come back game then clutch battle at the end. 😂
OKC Wolves was pretty good too.
I know the Nuggets christmas game and Spurs game today are better technically by a viewing perspective but we won the thunder game that’s the best game of the year.
Spurs-Thunder in the Cup was also a great game (or at least, the first 47 minutes were). That ending might be the nit to pick against the other options on the list though
Same with the Wolves and Nuggets game that went into OT (at least until the intentional fouling at the end)
oh yeah i forgot about that one. that might take it for me honestly.
Neither of them could miss.
We need a playoff series between these teams
As a Spurs fan, please no!
Crazy to think Spurs fans would rather face the Thunder than the Wolves
We just have no answer to Randle man, dude’s too strong
I was unsure at first after the trade but having watched him now that was a steal! When he goes all bully ball it’s fun to watch.
I said this time and time again. Randle is a good 18- 22 points per night whilst holding his own on defense. The man is good
Crazy to think we live in an era of basketball where 18-20 points a game only makes you 2nd or 3rd best offensive player on the team.
20-30 years ago, averaging 20 points a game is basically an instant trip to the All-Star team and you begin to enter MVP conversation lol.
Crazy how much things have changed. Defense is definitely making a comback the last 2-3 seasons tho.
What makes Ant is so elite is he is generational talent at both ends of the floor.
It’s kinda wild how he flipped his reputation in Minny. He was known for abysmal defense due to lack of effort in LA and especially NY.
Randle is great when he’s locked in on D and playing on-ball defence, but he and Naz have been terrible on defence in general. So he’s a good defender come playoffs but in regular season games for example he can be frustrating.
And at the same time are perfectly built to beat the thunder, who in turn beat the shit out of everyone else.
We match up a lot better against the thunder
wcf 🤝
We just dont have anything for randle. Our PF slot is incredibly weak
Absolutely not, anyone but these guys
Watch yall get Steph in the first round LOL
There are no good choices in the West. The best you can hope for is the Suns in the first round and I really don’t know if we want that.
Feel like Spurs would spank the Lakers with their lack of bench. Normally a baby playoff team doesn’t wanna go against vets like LeBron and Luka but they have no help after those two and Reaves if he’s healthy.
Lakers is absolutely who id want in round 1.
As good as Luka is, Lakers are getting bounced by anyone in the 1st round if they don’t make some trades to fix their defense AND their bench. They are way worse than their record indicates because Doncic is that good.
I think we match up decently against anyone, but yeah unless we get the lakers and they haven’t made any moves the first round gonna be brutal
Yeah no good choices indeed. Even the Lakers could give some trouble with their whistle.
Nah bro y’all would decimate the Lakers in 4. Game 1 loss would be so bad they might just cancel the series.
The wolves are like herpes for the NBA, we never go away.
Head lice. That’s why wemby had to go bald.
As a Spurs fan… Keep the Timberwolves the hell away from us
Eh if we have to lose in the playoffs I’d want it to be to the Spurs, just hopes it’s the WCF
Deal!
I also hope it would be the WCF. I would hate to see us lose then OKC or Denver make it to the finals instead
Out of everyone in the west after Spurs i’d be cheering probably for Ant and the wolves to win next, its them or give jokic another ring
The only other option would be Luka winning just to dunk further on Nico but that ain’t happening
For me it goes Wolves Spurs Nuggets, every other West team I’m either indifferent towards or I despise them
I’m alright thanks
We lost but this was TOUUUUUGGHHH
Definitely a tough loss for you guys. I can relate man. I felt the same way a while ago about the Spurs after the Timberwolves beat us by 1 point. Regardless of who wins, it’s stellar basketball when these 2 teams meet.
Who’s this commentator I kinda like him
Alan Horton, I saw some highlights on YT with your guy’s commentary and the way the fall absolutely silent when Ant hits the 3 for 51 adds a certain aura to it all too.
You’re going to love him after you watch this, I’ve truly had some of these lines stuck in my head for a decade
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFdPLowSNFY
omg this is incredible
Dohhh ED MALOY.
Epic call
Alan Horton. He has been the Timberwolves Radio guy for 20 years. Now with Grady getting national gigs, he fills in when Grady is away.
thank you for posting this with the twolves broadcast. idk who the play by play commentator is cause i’m used to michael grady being there instead but he was amazing down the stretch. just getting hype for both team’s plays and was just super high energy
Alan Horton does our games when Grady is gone, he has been our long time radio guy
what happened to the twolves’ old play by play guy? I really liked his style of commentary
He still does some of our games but he’s been doing a lot of the national games this season for both NBC and Prime
He’s too good; way more national games on his docket these days.
Grady was always too good to stay a local guy
Got promoted to the big leagues for a lot of games now.
If you mean Dave Benz from years ago, then yeah he got let go so they could go get Grady from Brooklyn.
He got promoted to Prime
Wait. I thought the Spurs were up by 25 at one point.
Yeah. Ant got hot from the three. Wemby answered back though.
They were but turd quarter kicked in and kablam. Clutch time.
I’ll need to watch the 2nd half highlights
I need to forget them lmao
They were. We forgot how to play basketball in the 3rd.
*we almost always forget how to play basketball in the 3rd
Growing pains.
the best 1 min of this season
Amazing game. I honesty think this could be a better rivalry than OKC vs SAS.
It could be more fun but to me the hatred is what the rivalry is about. I don’t think there’s any animosity between these teams the way they both share for OKC.
I hope they meet in the postseason
Yeah it’s hard for me to hate you guys. If yall wanna find a reason for me though, lemme know
Yeah. You can tell wemby and ant really like each other while being competitive. OKC on the other hand…
nah the french pipeline will make this a healthy one, Vic Rudy Joan will be tight, they will always compliment eachother (and Ant x Wemby already do too)
True i really like minny cant hate them, OKC however 🤣
Spurs and okc hate each other and wolves and nuggets hate each other. Spurs and wolves just have great games. (For now at least)
When these two teams meet in the playoffs, I’m afraid things gonna get ugly between us fans 🤣
Send Chet “I defend with my face” Holmgren to the wolves and tell Ant to foul bait 90% of his plays, and you’ll get the same rivalry
This is what the game is about.
Not trying to foul bait in these close games and just play ball is extremely refreshing to watch
Dude! You’re absolutely right! I didn’t really notice in the moment. The game is so much better when they play THE GAME and not the refs.
game of the year
This game was incredible down the stretch, superstars going blow-for-blow
wemby vs ant is the best hoops rivalry in the league rn
they seem to bring out the best in each other, must see TV
“These fans are stunned.”
Wemby: and I took that personally
Yeah that was crazy, and he wasn’t even wrong. It just didn’t last long 😂
What a duel tho, shame someone had to lose
Beautiful
Hell of a game
this era of the nba is easily the most talented in nba history . was a prilviage watching both wemby and ant ball out .
cinema.
Antman is so fun to watch.
Ant had 55!!
Holy shit I wish I watched this game
Really glad Marc fuckin’ Davis didn’t end up fucking us out of this game with that tech on Finchy near the end. (Still think they missed a call on the Beringer drive with 40s left but whatcha gonna do)
I fucking missed out on a banger game I fucking hate this shit man 😭
It was so good
Wolves are such a good watch
I love that this is Wembys attitude and it’s why he’ll be an all time great
PEAK
The future is now.
Cinema
Those two are unreal
Fun game overall.
“these fans are stunnedOHHHHHH!”
the ol announcer jinx
This is my favorite highlight of the season so far. Beautiful ball.
man I love watching edwards hoop
Best thing about this is no celebration but competitive focus on next play. Ethical basketball.
How is that first Wemby shot in the clip when Randle lands in his space under his feet not a foul lol
SGA would never
The battles were gonna see between ant/wemby/luka/sga/jokic the next 5 years in the west are gonna be ridiculous. Its so unfair all these guys are in the west meanwhile the east has like 3 teams
Basketball is wonderful.
That was a thrilling game!
We need these two in the conference finals.
Great game I’m glad nba is a highlight real I wish I watched this one ☝🏾
Straight Ethical Buckets
the 2 faces of the league, idc
man i fucking love basketball
Amazing clip
Amazing duel. Both guys definitely have that “it” factor that only a very small list of players have.
Nothing more hype than a good back and forth between superstars 🤌
I hope these 2 teams meet in the playoffs, man.
I love it; two of my favorite players.
Thanks for saving the sport guys. Seriously needed.
There are people that think Wemby shouldn’t be a starter in the All-Star Game.
Ant hit a career high and they still lost.
Wemby is a different beast
No flopping, no whining, no foul baiting. Just straight, ethical hoops.
I like what I am seeing from the young stars
[removed]
What is the point of DDV switching on the catch? Wemby is going to shoot over Randle anyway
Garp vs Aokiji
It is great to see Kelly Olynyk still in the NBA and playing for an amazing team like Spurs.
We needed a big out there so bad. Need at least Rudy or Naz, preferably both. But inject that game into my veins that was a fun one.
No defense whatsoever lol
I couldn’t watch this video because I was mandated to handover my settings
This is some Kise vs Aomine shit.
It shouldn’t have gotten this close but my goodness this shit was so entertaining man wow
