That was ridiculous. Absolute wolves ending but still ridiculous. How does your team just go *poof* like that in the 4th? We didn't look the same at all. It's also mind-boggling they keep forcing the two PG lineup when it has yielded nothing. Even if you want to keep working on it, fine but not close out a game. I don't know what the philosophy is in the last 7 minutes to let that happen.

DLO iso is not a winning formula. Saunders letting Russell taking terrible shot after terrible shot cost the team any chance at winning.

Had ant and especially beasley hot all game, yet they don’t touch the ball due to dlo. Guy is a scrub and a losing player. Idk why I continue to watch.

You can actually replace Ant with any name other than dlo.

Ant didn't have a single shot attempt in final Qtr...Beasley I don't think even had a single 3 pt attempt in last 4 mins

Why do the keep pushing DLo when it should either be Beasley if you actually are trying to win or Edwards if you are trying to develop him

Pssh Beasley should've taken that last shot. Josh Okogie defense so overrated. Derozan torched him. We had a 15 pt lead. Bench blew it. Dlo tried to play hero ball, didn't work. I'm surprised Saunders still has a job...

Up by 16 with 10 minutes to go and the Wolves had to fail at every facet of the game to find a way to lose. I don't know how Saunders is still employed.

How is Saunders still an nba coach. Let alone still continue to be a coach after what he has shown. His ineptitude shows game after game and not many coaches can show how terrible they can blow a nearly 20 point lead and fail to put the ball in the rim.

There have been plenty of positives recently..mainly Ant, Nowell and McDaniels but man DLo has negated so many of these positives.

Re: Game 21 : Minnesota Timberwolves (5-15) @ San Antonio Spurs (11-10) - 8:00 PM
I'm just super confused as to why the team plays down the stretch like that. I can't believe it's just DLO being a douche and taking all the shots, that has to be the gameplan. My question is why? What analytics are they looking at that is telling them that DLO going hero mode has to be the way they play to win? Just utterly confused at what they are thinking there.

I think I'm done until they offer Becky Hammon or someone Ryan's role. Need a game head in there. I'm thoroughly sick of this coach's decisions late.

Rubio should be passing the last shot. Not getting ready to catch.
This was a poorly coached game.

Man, if I'm a gambler I would've made a ton of money betting against the Wolves even if they have a double digit lead late in the 4th

Yea 5th game and counting dlo shot the ball horribly. But we really need a big who can friqqin reb and protect the paint. Spurs had alot of 2nd chance opportunities. I just wish towns come back soon.. Wolves trade for a good PF. And we get a veteran coach to replace Saunders.

Of course Pop is a million times the coach Ryan is but there was just way too many mistake in the 4th.
Why is Rubio in as a spot up shooter? Why is Okogie still getting minutes in the 4th when he’s been horrible all night. No shot attempts for Ant in the 4th.
Just horrible and heart wrenching loss. Smh. Total loss for words
