Defensively, Minnesota needs him out there.

Awesome defense by Mcdaniels at the end there.

Does chris finch have a plan at all? Offensively at least?

No, you don’t understand. It’s actually a measure of his greatness that he wastes over half the shot-clock every possession he touches it and is a turnover machine whenever he dribbles. The exact problem that I’ve correctly identified for this entire season definitely isn’t the direct reason for Boston being back in this game. Criticism of his decision making is hysterical, Minnesota has the best record in the Western Conference.

I get the issue and agree with you. But just don't want the ball in NAW or KA's hands when they can't weren't in position to shoot. I am sure that is what Finch too Ant also. It's a learning process and he needs to get better at it. Until then, we still need a way to win

I can’t believe we gave it to our most efficient scorer and he scored.

Super dumb play by Ant on the pass to McD. Equally stupid foul.

Ant should have taken that shot.

I rather Ant put up a bad shot than pass to JMcD - we end up worse

He wasnt very smart tonight except for that last shot by tatum in the 4th

Post #153 » by **Calinks** » Thu Jan 11, 2024 2:36 am

Naw has been unreal with huge shots tonight.

Post #154 » by **Calinks** » Thu Jan 11, 2024 2:39 am

Well damn, that's probably it. Props to Boston. They are good, Tatum killed it there in the clutch. We just made too many mistakes in the important moments of the game.

Game over as expected

jpatrick · Post #156 » by **jpatrick** » Thu Jan 11, 2024 2:40 am

Great game. But we absolutely choked this game away. And Ant has had numerous horrible turnovers. He in a lot of ways cost us this game.

The **** was ant doing on defense?

Not in a lot of ways, flat out, in the 4th and OT couldn’t stop losing the ball.

Anthony Edwards lost us this game. Everything I complained about in the third quarter was obviously correct, because we’ve seen this literally all season.

I don’t know how many times we have to see it until other people on the forum recognize it, but oh well. Onto the next one.

Ant should have taken the shot when he made the intercepted pass to McD. He still had a very good game IMO, but that was the play that changed the game.
