WCSF Game 1, 5/6: Warriors at Timberwolves, 8:30 pm

That sucked.
Good riddance.
Had to lose one
for Wolves in 5.

[Basti]

I sure hope that this game will be a wake up call and put some fire under our asses for the remaining games.

[m2002brian]

I’m happy I’m not writing the paychecks for these guys. I’d have some words for them

[life_saver]

Buddy is like the only elite shooter Warriors have now without Steph but you still leave him open ? Very frustrating game.

[Loaf_of_bread]

As a team we are terrible at the fundamentals of rebounding.

Would be funny to see if Rodman would be interested in a short term coaching contract.

That dude was insane... watched ball rotation, and tendencies of particular shooters. It's pretty wild if you haven't seen just how dialed he was with details of rebounding.

[younggunsmn]

If we’re bigger why do they have 16! Offensive rebounds! Wtf wolves

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.

He sucks at defensive rebounding but loves grabbing his own misses.

[Nick K]

The biggest losers tonight were the fans.

[winforlose]

This was so winnable if Finch puts Rudy in for more of the 3rd, and leaves Jaden in for the whole 2nd half (or more of it.) We could have ended down 10 if we just played defense.

[Domejandro]

My super hot take is that I’m pretty cool with Naz Reid finding money elsewhere. He’s just too horrible defensively and can’t rebound; he hasn’t improved at all and is a massive liability on that end.

Both Donte & NAW have been extremely disappointing so far in playoffs...the bench was supposed to be strength but so far, its been pretty poor. NAW especially has been a complete disappointment...Donte also has been horrid offensively but he was atleast decent defensively vs Lakers. 3 pt shooting was supposed to be a strength of this team but so far, they have been the worst 3 pt shooting team in playoffs

[younggunsmn]

Absolute trash. Top to bottom.

We got clowned by a team playing a Freddie Mercury impersonator instead of Steph Curry for 3 quarters.

[life_saver]

Also giving away 18 offensive rebounds is just inexcusable against Warriors

I'm pretty cool with everyone not named Anthony Edwards or Jaden McDaniels finding money elsewhere.

I would be surprised if we let go of both Naz and NAW...I feel like despite his defensive issues, the mismatches Naz provides and flexibility he gives is hard to replace. He has also shown that atleast he can hit shots in crunch time in playoffs...NAW on the other hand, has been bad on both sides of the ball

[life_saver]

Anyways, its just G1. Games like these happen in playoffs...even good teams have some terrible games. Just need to find the shooting touch back...at the end of the day, its just hard for any team to win in playoffs if you are shooting like 15% from 3. They got away once vs Lakers but its just extremely hard to win 2 games in row with such horrid shooting.

Sign and tradde get value out of him. Same with Naw if he has any value left. Wolves need a better head coach as well.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Just watch the second half on my phone waiting my tee off! We shoot so bad . I’m also thinking coaching could have been much better. We were in front at 1st then Finch bring NAW and we go for a 13-0…. Rudy stay on the bench way too long. At the 4 th we finally find some rhythm, Mike play better ( 5 assist in 5 min) then Finch make some changes and we did not score for 3 min… well deserved loss. It’s only one game now we are the underdog, hopefully we come game 2 with sense of emergency.

[life_saver]

Also things would be so much better if the team doesn't have slow starts...even in Lakers series, the team played lot better in 2nd half than first half. Its just so annoying to watch these slow starts.

[LSWF]

It's one really really bad game. on to the next one.

I think it takes Finch too long to course correct.
