Rough man, we are just outmatched. Their elite shot-making is too much and I don't like our chances when the game is close. We have to continue to build our offense, more ball handling would help greatly. Dallas is looking super tough right now. Their energy is off the charts too. Hell of a game again but we come up short.

Whatever trade value KAT added in the first two series he has peed down his leg in this series

Can we trade towns for a more poised power forward? A guy who has less skill but way more basketball iq would be better than him
LETS GO WOLVES!!! 8-)

The whole team will, these are the kind of losses that make you. Most winning teams go through it.

Yeah, Minnesota is unlikely to get anything worth trading him for, at this point. Just brutal.

Rudy just got absolutely destroyed. That's a poster if I've ever seen one.

Towns, choke artist in the playoffs.

Teased some of you with a few good games.

Time to move on.

Naz and Kyle Anderson were playing well, you'd think Finch would've left them in the game down the stretch.

I don't understand benching Kyle Anderson there, but Naz's defense has been game destroying, these past few games.

I'm not even sure the Knicks craptastic pile would be offered. Might have to settle for the return we got for Jimmy.

I think kat feeds off ant. If ants not producing kat freaks out and thinks he has to do everything

The best team win again tonight.
They are just better than us on all details :
- Stupid challenge from coach.
- KAT and Rudy production being very far from what star players should, specially KAT who one more time show that Play Off are too big for him…
- When your 2 start players are unable to hit a 3 all night long, you can’t win.
- - Jaden, Slomo and Mike keep us the in the game but it was not enough.
- I don’t blame ANT, he is clearly not 100% and find a way to contribute well. He is the superstar player and once he improve, he will be a top 5 player.
I think next game may be the last for KAT under this jersey. I know that for long time fansit may be heartbreak but this is like couple. One day you have to accept relationship failed and move on. KAT will never be the leader he pretends to be and it’s time to build more around ANT.
It was a great season after all. Hope we got fun in the last game and prepare the next one learning from this. Go Wolves!.

It’s almost like Denver was their championship. You could look at it as just a bad matchup and retool or you can look to shake it up.

I personally think of you look to shake it up, you would have to consider getting rid of one or both of Rudy/Towns. However, both of their values for sure taken a dip.

Idk, I just don’t know where the wolves go from here. Prob their best chance this year with the current group.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
