Dumbest play I've seen in so long from Prince cost us the game. He has been really bad lately. This sucks.

That might be the season right there…

[shrink]

I don’t think we’ll miss the play in, but right now my confidence is low that we will get a win we need to make the playoffs.

[moss_is_1]

Not much to be happy about right now, season is pry over.

[jpatrick]

Is this where the lotto gods give us the #1 pick after we get knocked out in the play-in round? Maybe the Jazz will give us Kessler back when they get Wemby?

F this team. Gobert can't shoot FTs in regulation and Prince can't just hold the ball and wait to get fouled.
Why are we running plays for a guy who can't shoot FTs while trying to hold a lead?

So much bad. Neither team deserved to win this one what a pile of doggy doo of a game.
Nice to see Conley and McDaniels have good games, but if Ant is out we are cooked.

Rudy didn't have a bad night. Rudy had 21-19-5 blks. He missed some FT's nobody is perfect.

We should never have lost that game. It was breakdowns in pressure moments late that did us in. Reid was the biggest culprit. You can't throw the ball away or step out of bounds etc. We do often when it matters.

You forgot the 5 turnovers from a guy who should only be catching lobs.
We threw away at least 4 possessions in the last 2 minutes and OT trying to force the ball into Rudy. 2 missed FT's, and ugly shot and resulting Gobert loose ball foul, a fumbled pass, and a strip. That's par for the course with him.

The guy can be an asset, but know your personnel. Terrible coaching.
Reid and SloMo were not much better. Without Ant and KAT we don't have any bullets in the chamber on offense.
If Conley and McDaniels aren't cooking, and we aren't playing a trash defense like Chicago's, our offense is going to be borderline disgusting. Nate Knight could have been an asset in this game Prince has been playing his way out of the rotation he has been absolutely awful since about the all-star break.

[Calinks]

If we could have won these last two games we would be sitting pretty. It pains me so much that we keep blowing these golden opportunities. If we could just be consistent, we could run away with the 6th spot.

Just finished the game on tape delay. Couldn't be worse turn out for Wolves as they have another game tomorrow.

All game long I was wondering why Prince is in the game. He can't shot, fouls, runs around like crazy. If we are going to double team anyway, could have leave JMcl in for those last few minutes. We couldn't get a good look in both 4th and 1st OT last second is concerning. It's time to get John Wall or call up Linsanity and his buddy Dwight Howard

I am disappointed Gobert missed the FT but the game still was winnable. Once again we got a bad call in critical moment - the phantom 6th foul on Gobert.

[TwolvesFanRome]

Kyle Anderson hero ball at the end of 4th?

I really don't know what he had in mind..

[_AIJ_]

Prince has been absolutely garbage post ASB

[brutalitops]

While we needed to get rid of D'lo, You can see no KAT we really needed another player who can create a shot

[jpatrick]

Even with Ant, we needed another true scorer (another star would be better of course). The rest of our roster right now is role players. When they are forced to do more than their role, they’re going to struggle.

Hopefully Towns coming back and is instantly 100%, which is highly highly unlikely. I’m also afraid that Ant will try to rush back from than ankle sprain. Sprain probably can’t really get worse (just won’t improve), but the fear is by compensating for the ankle he’ll really hurt something else.

I almost feel is like we play it safe with Ant/Towns this offseason, hope we don’t give the Jazz a top four pick in what is shaping up to be a very very good top of the draft. And regroup this offseason.

Gobert: 21 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks. That phantom sixth foul, with no contact whatsoever, affected the game.

Truthfully though, you can see why both teams have worse records than they should. When it was crunch time, both teams made inexcusable errors, potentially handing the game to the other team. Prince’s pass to nobody? Unguarded DeRozan not walking the ball into the front court in eight seconds? Both teams have talent, but if you make critical, unforced mistakes like this in close games with under a minute left, it’s hard to say either team deserved the win.

Ainge was celebrating St. Patrick's day last night even though he doesn't drink. I think Portland had throw in the towel, we just need Jazz, OKC, and NOP follow suit. We will limp (pun intended) into the play-in as the 10 seed and hopefully win a game or two. Let's hope we don't repeat Clippers' mistake with Kyrie draft. Otherwise, there would be no debate which is the all time worst NBA franchise.
