This game is just about over. There's a lid on our basket.

This one is spiraling, get it under ten by the half and KAT has to keep it together in the second half and produce if we want a shot.

Bad coaching finchy. Should always have two of the three stars out there at a time.

I don't want to call it yet, because we have the ability to come back and win, but it's not looking good

Only 11 points. Going to need KAt to show up, we can get back in this one. He has to be under control though, he starts freaking out and we are in trouble.

flinch should've called TO and put dlo back in sooner..we might been able trim the lead a lil..but dlo been kinda trash, not aggressive and looking for his own shot. only way we win this series is if our big 3 all play well together. and dlo is always a no show.

I think we can win if we get two fo the three playing well in every game.

Where are all the Naz detractors? Pretty much the one good thing about the first half.

The story of the first half: Wolves unforced turnovers, Grizzlies offensive rebounds, and a bunch of missed open shots by Minnesota. The team needs to have much better focus in the second half to have a chance.

A side note to Gupta: please, please, please get a two way PF was some size.

Difference so far has been mainly rebounding..Grizzlies with 9 offensive rebounds whereas Wolves with just 1. Way too many 2nd chance points to Grizzlies. Need a big half from DLo

I will say this, the Wolves are getting a ton of open looks from 3, they just aren't making them at an acceptable rate.

Holy crap 3 fouls back to back to back in a single possession? Big yikes.
