Also Ant has been letting his man drive right past him way too much

At leas these games are really shinning a light on some flaws. We need to have all the information we can gather to make decisions going forward.

Honestly happens every game, but people have this weird belief that he is generally a positive impact defensive player.

I’ve been shining that light for years. But some people just move stats too much.

Getting beat to the boards and they are racking up fouls too. Bad combination.

Down 2-1 after the first period. At least the Twins won today.

Thought the exact same. Didn't understand the offensive foul called on Towns.

Wrong call going with Flower, Gusty as just too good last game to go away from him.

This ball movement is atrocious compared to Denver’s.

We absolutely look like we have no idea what we are doing out there. No other team looks like that. We really have no direction. Really hard to watch, hope we can string there's of this game together.

Where are all those that said our sluggishness was due to 4 games in 7 days? Wolves have had a couple days now. Rudy says his back feels much better. And yet, this is how the team comes out in the first quarter...
