Randle is pretty good tonight. 9 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 turnover.


I don't like him but have to agree. He play well tonight, and try to play some defense. We give many 3 but the Cavs are really good. Great battle so far, good ball movement, finding Rudy. Nice to watch , good energy after in a B2B Game.

When Randle is moving the ball instead of overdribbling it makes things work so much better.

If the Wolves had gotten anything from NAW or Dillingham on offense they'd be comfortably ahead at the half.

Just a dumpster fire performance from the bench. Joe Ingles had a good stint in the first half, but he's given the team nothing in the second half.

Yeah, no DDV is too much to overcome tonight. They're tired, Cavs are playing super smart and super fast, Ant's shot stopped tonight and the bench is a dumpster fire.

NAW with two especially dumb plays. Finch brings in Ant with 33s left to get a final shot and NAW after being 1-9 goes early into Allen, misses a layup and then fouls Jerome for an and-1 on the other end.

The bench has saved this team in a lot of games this season, tonight the bench group is killing us.

Rebounding has killed Minnesota in the second half, it's probably over.

Not rebounding. It was Naw. That loser keeps on getting so much playing time

I wonder if there's anywhere that tracks long rebound percentages, I have to believe the Wolves are close to last in the league in getting rebounds that bounce outside of 8 ft.

Tonight is fine and understandable. They came out strong, really cared, fought and tried to win this. Continue playing this way at there will be 50 wins in April. MEM and GSW losses hurt way more.

1. Anyone who was happy we signed Joe Ingles, this is what happens when you play Joe Ingles.

2. Chris Finch running Jingles and Dilly together is worse than playing two non shooters. Two non defenders against one of the best offenses in the league is so ridiculous you have to wonder if Finch bet against us. It is fireable.

I dont' understand the infatuation with Dillingham from the fans. This dude is not a rotation player AT ALL. Fine now because DDV is out and everyone's struggling, but he is so raw and deer in headlights he can't play meaningful minutes at all.

I'd rather see what Shannon has

Late to post but to me, the downfall started right after finch took Jaden and Ant out right after Jaden scored 5 straight. A would you take them out when they were gaining momentum??
