NAW has missed 3 shots in a row and they all turned into points for Denver. Up 2 now down 7. Killer.

Danger time. We just don’t have the depth or shooting to compete. We look worn down. And NAW is now missing shots. I hope I’m wrong but I see this second half getting ugly.

Offseason priority is shooting.

Damn. Denvers offense is just so much better than ours, they can rip off points a lot easier, we don't have that offensive flow, it makes it really tough when they go on runs because we can't counter well. If our defense is shutting them down things are super tough.

We looked great coming out of the locker room, we look terrible the last minute and a half.

Ant is 1 of 8. Bad night to have a bad night. Regardless, it's time to give Ant the ball and tell him to go to work.

I hate that they gave us false hope after a 2-0 start. Just another year of being a Timberwolves fan
LETS GO WOLVES!!! 8-)

What’s better offense, Ant going 1 on 3 or NAW, McDaniels, or Gobert taking shots. I’m not sure.

We are 7 of 16 from 3. We need to shoot more of them Kat and Ant.

I hate Barkley, Stephen A Smith and all the talking heads that hyped up the Wolves and their defense. The last three games, Wolves are allowing better than 50% shooting in each game.

Wasn't false hope. Denver has just adjusted and we have not been able to answer effectively.

It's not even bad defense by Rudy. Just crazy offense by Jokic

It's like after game two they put us in the machine from eternal sunshine of the spotless mind and removed all memories of playing pick and roll defense.

Jokic doesn’t miss. He’s one of those players that gets the bounce no matter how he shoots.

I’ve never seen so many offensive fouls in a game.
