Another game we need ANT to win us the game. It’s right there.

If he is going to be a superstar ready to battle Luka for the next decade, he needs take this game over..

What do have in you, young fella?

I feel like the fire Finch is premature but not reviewing the Luka flop with fake foul on Reid does make compelling point.

He’s already a deer in headlights on the sidelines :nonono:

Wolves are better off blowing it up. Get something nice for ANT. Can't a win a chip with this crew. Far too undisciplined and low IQ

Crazy that Randle has been clearly the best player this series

It feels like they’re down at least 8 to me

Rudy has been a disaster at the free throw line this series.

Edit: Good chance we go on a run when Ant is on the bench.

Rudy has been a disaster on offense and rebounding. He should be dominating the boards.

We need to find an alpha for the pack. After Ant for so long and the progress, he just doesn't have it. He is a great Robin. We need another guy

This feels like a game/series where they just won’t be able to get over the hump. There for the taking but just won’t quite get it done.

I just don’t understand this team. We average 15 made 3s per game in the regular season and 4th in make percentage despite the high volume. Now we are 3/15 after going 4/20, (this is from memory and may be wrong.) We seem to have lost all touch from deep. Worse, we don’t box out and are not scoring enough second chance points will giving up too many. Our defense alternates from hard fought and smart to lazy and dumb. I get that we have a Jeckel/Hyde team, but this is just insane.

Good God, it just keeps getting worse. :lol:

Dude will hit the craziest shot you've ever seen, but blow wide open layups. Super strange.

Disappointed in Naz, Naw, Donte. We really need them to show up. Lakers should feel great right now.

We lose this and that's the series done.

Luka keeps grabbing his chest and wrist. Maybe something there. We managed to lose the 2nd by 13 after winning the first by 9. We usually have one of these quarters (1st in games 1 and 2,) the question is can we actually perform in the 2nd half.

I feel like wolves will dominate second half but they are still a badly coached team.. Finch is a beyond average head coach that will never put this group over the hump.

Randle keep us in the game. How we can shoot 3 so well almost all season and so poorly now? Have to change.
