The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the week, every six hours. Up is worse. Dashed lines are games.

In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Minnesota went 1-3 and slid to 4-3, and the fanbase settled on a single culprit: the whistle. A 127-125 loss in Cleveland opened the grievance file, but the 119-114 home loss to Golden State was the turning point, with fans demanding to know how "Podz get more favorable calls than Ant." A 127-101 rout of the Clippers had people praising a roster "11 guys deep," then San Antonio won 121-111 and someone insisted a ref "needs to be investigated." The record still reads winning; the mood reads subpoena.
What fans said
“It blows my mind how ant can’t get any fucking calls. One of the worst whistles of all time.”
