The ref missed 3 calls on that one drive.

the disconcerting thing is that this is how (last two games in particular) Wolves will be played in playoffs
small lineups, stretched out defense
its just awkward trying to defend on perimeter possession after possession with big guys that are more comfortable in the paint

and the Wolves lack of outside shooting allows the smaller team to pack in the paint and negate the Wolves size advantage

Charles Barkley's wet dream right now.

And the first one was an offensive foul on KAT.
Crunch time hero ball turnover we got what we deserved.
Can't count of the refs to bail out your bad play.

my whole thing with this Wolves team is I find it hard to believe that ANY TEAM with 37 year old Mike Conley as the 2nd best guard/playmaker will do well in a playoff series

Whatever else that particular team has going for it (whether it be Wolves or any other team), I have a hard time getting passed that, given what we have seen succeed in the playoffs for 10+ years

whatever else they Wolves do well or how good of a season they have, that is still going to be my overriding question

It was a great play by KAT no offensive foul whatsoever. It was exactly the play any lead player is supposed to make and the coward or cheater refs stole that win from us. Yes we should have won easily, but KAT made the winning play.

Bail out?????? Really. WT... are you talking about. It was the perfect play.

He pushed off with his off hand.
The refs let him get away with it all game.
One of the refs was from Minnetonka for crying out loud I don't know how you can blame this turd on the refs.
The "winning play" is running the clock under 5 seconds and plowing into a triple team? Really?

The team played like absolute garbage and got what they deserved.
Would not have even been close if KAT wasn't making a bunch of miracle 3's and having a career shooting night.

Finch blasting the team, always appreciate he is a pretty straight shooter

Finch was asked who the facilitator is when Mike is out, basically had no answer

The only silver lining to this turd is some sucker is going to want to trade for KAT this summer if he can stay healthy because games like this remind them of his offensive potential.

Just finished the game…well that was a fun experience aye? Everything was coming within the flow and then bam! They forgot how they got there.

When the offense ticks up the defense suffers. Just a lack of focus and attention to detail. This is a coaching loss to me. Everyone could see it getting ready to spiral out of control.

Finch said in post game that he didn't like the way the team played the whole game

so he would probably say the process was bad the whole game, but there were fluky good results for awhile, rather than things spiraled

Interesting, up until the second half they were sharing the ball well, making shots, not forcing much. Although the defense was lacking. Then they started hunting for Towns.

But if he didn’t like the whole game, what was his counter to it as the coach? Did he tell him and they just didn’t listen? Has he lost the room?

so he would probably say the process was bad the whole game, but there were fluky good results for awhile, rather than things spiraled

I just have two questions.

1. Does anyone still dispute that Mike Conley is the most valuable Wolf (MVW?)

2. Does anyone still dispute we need a backup PG to succeed in the playoffs?

He needs to blast himself. He is a huge reason for the last two losses.

Great loss and well deserved . I just watch the resume too busy and it seems that we did not play defense at all, making this game a ASG style. This team is not mature enough and when Mike not on the floor, you look at kids with no much disciplin and a coach who alow that. We have seen the difference with OKC. We still far from beeing a contender. Good lessons, Hope they learn but i have doubt, Such immature guys here...

Read on Twitter


take 7 minutes and watch
he's not just sitting there, coaches are aware of what is happening
I guess you can blame him for not getting through to the players
he literally says at :50 second mark "message wasn't getting through"
