We got OT unless they score in this 2 seconds.


We both want a win bro.
But these dudes need to get their head out their ass. Game isn’t ever when you’re up 22.

Beyond hating that technical foul, I think Minnesota really should have called a timeout to set something up there. Minnesota has two of them.

I was expecting JMcd to foul Coby White with 1st of left. Thank God it didn't happen. Maybe we are making slow progress here.

I want to see Finch start calling time outs on these early 10-0 runs, I know he wants to trust his team but too many times we have failed to earn that trust, he needs to step in and try and stop the bleeding way earlier. 10 point runs turn into 25-5 point runs for this team.

The worst part is Kyle got the tech complaining about the lack of and 1 which would have put the lead 2 points higher (assuming Karl makes the free throw and Kyle doesn’t get the tech.)

I think there is a clause in Finch's contract that he gets an extra 10k for each timeouts saved.

Pop would call timeouts on 5-0 and 6-0 runs with prime Spur teams. F “trusting” your team. Stop the game, calm them down, set up a play.

straight up don't trust Jaden to make a clutch shot, make right decision
he's taking weird angles on DDR too, 3 or 4 times has given wide open driving lanes
not sure if hes expecting help

We just don't have an offense that can hang with good teams when things get tight. Our guys can't figure it out, too easy to deny our bigs and our wings/guards can't get off on offense. Any team that has good scoring on the wing has a big advantage against us because those guys will be able to get buckets while we flounder.

The offense needs tremendous help.

Jaden McDaniels threw the ball away and then didn’t run back on defense. Disgusting possession.

Another meltdown game given away. I have no words for how sad this makes me.
