Charge the beam. Sucks to lose our first home game and to lose a tournament game. We also lose our spot with the best record in the NBA. Great quality win for the Kings, hell of a game by them tonight. Wolves got to try and get the defense back in line. You are gonna lose some games though of course, just hate it had to be this one. Let's bounce back this weekend.

They have made everything. We've missed a lot of shots. They have just beat us. No excuses.

Our bench was soundly beaten tonight too.

This game really sucks. Turns out to be a huge loss. We need another reliable weapon on the floor. Package Naz, Milton, KA for something. Conley is great but is getting old quickly. I wonder if he is still hurting from that Chris Paul knee hit.

Give SAC credit from coming back strong in the second half after Wolves got back in the game.

Completely and utterly out coached.
Finch gets an F for this one including blowing his challenge on an out of bounds call in the 2nd quarter.

Back to only playing drop coverage and getting cooked by any guard with an above average handle.
This loss has been coming for two weeks we've been winning a lot of games only playing one good quarter and tonight was a regression to the mean. Our 2nd unit also continues to be utterly dysfunctional.

Disappointing. In season tournament just gives this franchise another chance to look like a loser.

Too little to few too late. Ant paddle his stat at FT but don't shoot well. KAT and even Mike don't shoot enough 3, the others just sucks at 3. Rudy was average, not bad but can do much better.... the bench sucks except Troy and was destroyed by Sacramento bench, Nad night happen this was one of those.

Come on fellas don't get too down. The Kings are a good team and they played their asses off tonight. They flat out beat us. We showed life, we came back, they still took the game. That's just a tough team playing tough. We got outplayed, it happens, you don't win every game. If we start making a habit of it, then we can get really negative but that was a respectable loss. Those are going to happen.

Ant and KAT tonight went to TO the ball way too much as well. Bad night happen, but we fight and Sacramento play well. Let's move to next one.

I wasn't able to watch the game. It looks like Sac just shot lights out? Nobody can stop another team, when they are on fire.

This. we showed some fight to keep cutting it to single digits(including getting it to 2 with possession). Showed more of our team to keep fighting.

Memphis looking for their 1st home win down a bunch of players is going to be a huge trap game.
Taylor Jenkins can coach circles around Finch even with a bunch of warm bodies.

TimberKat · Post #173 » by **TimberKat** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 3:46 am

Fox is going to get his points. He had 12 assist and a great mid range so it's difficult to trap him. The biggest difference tonight is Wolves had 18TO vs Sac 13TO, 3 pt shooting by SAC, and a few extra offensive rebounds.

Towns 9/15, 5/5 at the line, 4/5 from three. We got to get him more shots. I also think in this game he needed to take less drives because they were keyed in on that by the end. More three's and post ups would have been great.

FrenchMinnyFan · Post #175 » by **FrenchMinnyFan** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 4:01 am

Ant KAT Shake combined 10 Assist for 11 TO... Mike and Slomo 13 for 1... who should run the game more? Some coaching mistake as well tonight.

FrenchMinnyFan · Post #176 » by **FrenchMinnyFan** » Sat Nov 25, 2023 4:02 am

And i agree KAT should be our main offensive weapon, he is much more consistent than Ant for the moment.

That is the difference between Ant and Fox. Fox had 12 assists and 2 TO.

The difference between a good team and a solid team.

The kings shot it well. Tip the hat. What we desperately need is a second PG. Anderson and Shake are not getting it done. Anderson’s lack of any shot really kills this team at times.

Yes. In November, Towns is shooting better than 50/40/90 .. even before tonight.
