What a comeback, these guys were dead tired at the end. Respect to KAT & the guys for that comeback

Great fight! Back to back, half the team missing and Kat in foul trouble.. I'm really liking flip Jnr as coach!

That's the heart and energy I want to see on the floor. Can live with losses if the team looks like they are playing to the best of their ability. Totally different feeling than seeing your team get spanked and look nonchalant while doing it or letting other teams clearly play with more effort.

Yeah, not upset with the L. Just glad they did not roll over and really fought this game over. Those technical free throws just suck.
Makes the game on Sunday even more fun to watch!

Great comeback and effort considering how many we had out, but why aren't KAT or Wiggins taking the last shot? Our late game execution is terrible.

This team has to find a way to cash in on more 3's. We hit 8 tonight. If we could make 12 three's a game that would be a big difference. 10 three's and we win this game. We still hit them at too few a volume. Saric with 0 points is a big stain too. This guys was having 20 point games a year ago, absolutely need to get him going, should be a huge priority. 0 points is unacceptable with his talent level.

I don't care who takes the last shot. They are all professional players. However, you have to get yourself a decent shot.

Agreed. I have no clue what is wrong with Dario.

I guess saunders had more confidence in bayless and tolliver to run a 2 man game instead of a kat/wiggs high pnr.

Saric should have been starting right after the trade, look at what the dude did in the playoffs last season

What else do people want out of a player? He raised his game when it mattered

He said in a post-trade interview that he was hoping (expecting) to be able to have a bigger role than he did on Sixers, instead he has the smallest role/MPG of his career

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/thats-pretty-interesting-wolves-dario-saric-talks-trade-from-76ers-etwaun-moore-is-the-floater-king/

That is going to mess with a guy mentally

Wiggins missed way too many shots and had 5 turn overs. I'm blaming the loss on him. He scores 21 points on 8 of 26. That can't continue. Get his eyes checked.

If Wigs were even one third as good as Towns. Max player?????

Has he been playing like he deserves more time and a bigger role? Hardly

No, but that is the chicken/egg and I was dreading that as soon as it was clear he wouldn't be starting

Lol at Jazz fans complaining about the refs in that game and acting like Towns didn’t destroy Gobert in the second half.
