Listen we played like trash but still managed to break away and take this game down the stretch. I see that as a sign of growth. Yea we got to get better but there was no way we were clamping down a couple of months ago to win.

I don't think they played trash..I feel like they just shot like trash..terrible FT shooting and bad shooting from 3...I think defense was ok (especially perimeter defense).

Yea I was probably being a little harsh. Well said. KAT needs to do better with these fouls though. Hopefully we get him some inside help next season.

He only takes too many when they don't go in. :)

He's got a really nice looking shot to miss so many. He needs to work on it this summer shooting 3's while winded.

It's logical, wins are good when you play for being in the playoffs, when it's "only" to build chemistry for next season is not the same.

Masochists.

To me that wreaks of dumb uneducated fans.

The development of a winning culture must inevitably start by winning games regardless of when they occur.

Its simple ... most people dont watch any more. Theres a huge fan base from europe, and for us, the wolves games start at 3am. It has to be meaningful to conciously F**k up your work day to watch this game. Not worth it for me. Still glad they won.

i still watch every game re-live, but I am simply not enyoing the board as much as I used to, so I rarely post.

I think a big part too is most of the OGs are older now and have families. Less time to post on RGM during games. A lot of people joined when they were in school.

I understand the 3am thing. I'm in Australia and I no longer watch EPL because it just destroys my sleep pattern. I'm totally with you.

I also understand fans watching more games at the start of seasons due to hype, new players, new uniforms, clean slate etcc as opposed to the end of the season. I watch the games and want to see them win. Plain and simple.

I moreso have an issue with "we need to lose to keep the pick" crowd. We have made the playoffs how many times over the past 15 years? All those first rounders.. how's that going for us??

Enough is enough. Change the culture. Start winning games and stop relying on the slim hope of drafting a superstar (who will inevitably ask out, because he wants LA or NYK).
