We just can't hit a damn 3. They seem quicker to lose balls and the bounces are going there way. Sucks but it happens. Still got a chance.

Rudy is getting fouled on almost every rebound attempt, and zero teammates are crashing the glass. Not a good combo.

When a defense knows you don't want to shoot a 3 pointer it's like a shark smelling blood in the water.
It just makes it way too easy to defend you.

If we don't fix our 3 point shooting we are dead in the water.

This is a problem with Randle at PF. For his size, he’s a terrible rebounder. With GS, they pull Rudy out on Draymond, which leaves us with no good rebounders in the paint. Ant really is our second best rebounder. Butler in particular has been a problem on the offensive glass.

Randle has averaged 9 rebounds per game for his career. He isn't a terrible rounder.

So glad we put Julius Randle back in there to miss rotations and leave 3 point shooters wide open.

Swiss cheese defense, Naz cannot contain perimeter players, which leads to wide open three point shooters.

Not a fan of that last shot by Edwards.

They don’t deserve it. If they played a slightly cleaner game they win. I feel like they were pressing all night and played outside of themselves.

This game was lost at the 3pt line.

How can nba players shoot this bad so many games in a row in this era of the nba?

Garbage effort by Randle to box out or go after that shot.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
