Game 30: Minnesota vs. Dallas

[Nick K]

Why do I get so nervous when KA shoots a 3?

[Guest84]

This game is unnecessarily tough and should’ve been put away in the first half.

Towns drives are maddening. He drives with tunnel vision, poor technique and no plan other than get to the basket.

When Ant has it going, he tends to get tunnel vision and opts for the tough shot instead of the right/simple play.

Turnovers will be the death of this team. Not sure what it is in that area.

The defense has also been lacking lately. How sustainable is it dot the rest of the season realistically?

[Nick K]

Tim Hardaway Jr just having one of those nights

Didn't we draft him and give him away for nothing?

So many dumbass turnovers man...so avoidable

[_AIJ_]

Why are we chucking 3s???

We also need to learn how to put teams down early on. One thing I really respect about Philly this season is they don't play around with bad competition. I see their boxscore and they are blowing teams the hell out like every night, they just know how to kill teams. Seems like we hang around with teams far too much.

Worst of all, we give teams confidence. We give these shooters and guards confidence like crazy and then the game gets tight and these dudes start nailing huge contested threes and crazy shots because they feel like they are Jordan out there. We got to stop doing that.

We need to stomp on these teams and put them down. Our starters should be resting for half the 4th quarter, instead we are going to be battling for a win.

Dumb foul by Towns.

[Nick K]

ANT with 41!!

[Murphs56]

I must say, NAW does a really nice job getting around screens on defense.

Ant is gunning for that 50 piece and its hurting us

[younggunsmn]

You know I don't know if I've heard a "hey" tonight and Ant has shot 16 free throws.
Maybe some correlation there?

The Sixers have a really good no nosense title winning coach, and we have Chris Finch.

We started the game great with great discipline and some new wrinkles like Ant post up ISO'd on right side with Jaden at the top of the Key. Ant scored or assisted on like first 7 possessions.

Then it reverted into dribble-into-traffic=palooza once it was KAT's turn to focal point.

Man, Hardaway again

[Calinks]

This game has been horrible. Just get the win and hopefully we can find a surgeon to pull these guys' heads out of their assess for the upcoming games. We have taken some steps back these last couple games.

[younggunsmn]

That Hardaway 3 was on Rudy. Have to get out there and switch that and take your chances with a pass to Dwight Powell with plenty of low man help avaiable.

[Nick K]

Look at this. The Dallas bench has scored 55 points to our 21 and we're still winning.

[Nick K]

MIKE CONLEY for 2!!

[Nick K]

The refs got that one wrong too. It was a 3.

[Murphs56]

Thank goodness we have Conley. Guy just makes smart plays when it matters. Even on that mistake, he still was able to clean it up.

[younggunsmn]

And has got to milk the shot clock there. really dumb shot. time and score man.
