Rubio did his best to blow the game with turnovers and ant sleeping on defense and let’s his guy get free for a 3. So freaking frustrating to watch.

The was coming off a back to back for the Raps where they had a high energy game against the Bucks. Admittedly I would have like to see the Wolves run a bit more tonight.

Lots of good lessons to improve on. On to the next.

What a dunk!!!!!!!!

Damn man that was supposed to be a hell of a win. They need to drill clutch plays to infinity for the next month. We are so bad when it comes to closing out games. Just not on the level of other teams. We always get locked down and they do stupid things to compensate.

Thibs is licking his chops to play us, Randle and company probably gonna be clutch as hell against us on Sunday.

Worst part is that it isn't even the play actions that are bad, we just have players that cannot execute.

Oh well.

The closing group should have included McLaughlin, Layman, McDaniels, and Towns. I'm not sure who the 5th guy would be since nobody else deserved to be on the court.

Ant had a bunch of lapses today. I loved the energy when Layman came in for him. The mistakes by Ant, inability if Rubio to score, and frustration plays by Beasley are absolute killer down the stretch. We need a lot more poise, we are chokers right now for sure.

Malik Beasley is just dumb as hell and selfish as hell. He wants to be the hero and takes the worst Shiraz

Ryan Saunders needs to be fired now. How many 4th quarter blown leads does this team need to see? They are worst in the league with 5-7 record with the lead in the 4th quarter.

I seriously need to start placing bets against the wolves when they are up with 2 minutes left in the game. Would have a forutne.

Sad part is Rubio was brought in to be a veteran that can run a team efficiently. Back to back moron turnovers in crunch time is killer. Beasleys hero shots are frustrating. A little less because he is one of the few that can make these 3’s, but wow is he a bonehead.

How many winnable games can one team choke away in the final 4 minutes? Bad rotation decisions combined with bad execution has led to a shocking number of collapses by this team.

Where else would a coach continue to show what Saunders has, yet still have a job. Does not make sense. Like what does he have to do to lose his job. Dlo may help, but it will not make that big of a difference. This team is what it is, and Saunders is trash.

I put this on the players and then the coaches. Players have to be better, they are making so many mistakes down the stretch, like huge mistakes that other teams don't do. Some of that is on the coaches for not having that drilled into their heads but I put most of the players. This is why I have been screaming for us to bring in some vets. We need players that know how to win and don't make these silly mistakes. I'd kill for a vet PF.

Jim Pete killed Ryan. Said he has lost a handful games of this season because of poor execution and coaching.
