Game 32 Timberwolves @ Knicks 1-1-24 record 24-7

[_AIJ_]

They need points and they got Anderson back. Lmao

If we win it I'll organize a dinner at my expense for the entire twolves forum..

That would be great, but probably happens in Minnesota and I live in Arizona.

[Nick K]

Shocking what happens when Minnesota plays a real Point Guard, when Mike Conley is not on the court.

Conley has had a rare bad game. I wonder if he's hurt?

[_AIJ_]

Edwards is so dumb man

[Calinks]

Looks like our mediocre offense couldn't dig us out at the end. Of course, the ridiculously stupid turnovers were absolutely murderous to our chances too. I hope this loss winds up being a learning moment, we have to be much much more disciplined, we aren't good enough to make these many mistakes.

Congrats to OG and Kicks and Randle who ate our lunch tonight. He was sensational and we couldn't do a damn thing to stop him. Reminded me of that game Zion had against us, not the same play style at all but just one big who ran through us.

Ant you suck dude

[_AIJ_]

This loss is on edwards big time

[Nick K]

Ant has really killed us in the last 5 minutes. Towns has been great.

Hate to say it but Randle has been superb.

[KGdaBom]

Who will foul out first between KAT and Randle? That could decide the game.

We got beat by Randle. I thought we were better off with KAT on the bench in foul trouble.

[TwolvesFanRome]

Ok. We didn't want win this game...NYK gave us a lot of chance during the 4th Q...we dropped them out of the window..

Go to bed ant

The Edwards experience. Hero ball. Dumb plays

[KGdaBom]

Hate to say it but Randle has been superb.

Randle beat us simple as that. KAT and Ant were great offensively, but not as good as Randle.

[WolfAddict]

That's it, I'm benching Ant in 2K... He needs to learn

[Calinks]

Better bring the A game against the Pelicans. Zion is going to be looking for 40 against us and we could do nothing against him last time.

[minimus]

That is really a playoff level game:

- a lot of physicality
- no friendly whistles
- no easy points
- great preparation from Thibs
- NYK matched our EVERY advantage with effort and smart plays

A great lesson to learn, an awful game to watch

[KGdaBom]

That's it, I'm benching Ant in 2K... He needs to learn

What does Ant need to learn? How not to score 35 points on 52-44-90 shooting?

[younggunsmn]

They gave us a chance to win because none of their shots were falling in the 4th quarter.
We couldn't take it.
5/23 from Jalen Brunson should have been an automatic win for us.

You can't play awful for 2 entire quarters and expect to win.
Ant was not good in crunch time but he was the only one who showed up for the first 3 quarters.
Nice to see some good minutes from Jmac.

Our defensive help on bigger players driving to the basket has got to come way earlier and more aggressive.
Rudy can't be afraid to leave his man, active hands can eliminate the passing lane or at a minimum slow him down until his help rotates.

If we play this same defense against Zion he is going to go off for at least 40 points.

[Domejandro]

I just will never understand why Karl-Anthony Towns would take a ridiculous, foul-baiting floater down five with 35 seconds left down five. Just a baffling decision.

Regardless, the big problem was that Anthony Edwards threw the game hard, down-the-stretch.

Very happy to see Jordan McLaughlin play well, though.

[life_saver]

Offensive rebounding was the biggest difference... giving up 16 offensive rebounds is insane.
