Outside of Ant/KAT and Gobert dunks the team is shooting 1-14.

Welp. What a bad stretch here.

Not calling a lot of fouls at the rim. Like the passing though. Defense looks good in halfcourt, just need to do better in transition.

There's already been 2-3 times Gobert was in perfect position to get the defensive rebound and couldn't grab the ball.

Have to get back to ball movement. Not trusting each other right now. Need to get Kat involved more right now to help stabilize things.

Ant has tunnel vision right now too.

Just as apparent as ever. I hate playing in Toronto. Need way more from our bench if we're going to win this game.

Not a single made field goal off the bench. Wolves need a lot better play from their 2nd unit.

One thing I've been happy with is KAT's lack of live ball complaining about calls. There have been 3-4 times KAT took significant contact on a shot without getting a call and he kept playing.

I liked Ant's aggressiveness in the first half, he just needs to move the ball a bit more when he draws multiple defenders.

Glad to see all of the rational thoughts here at the half

At some point the shots have to start falling.

Is Jaylen Nowell still available? Milton cannot create any separation and Naz seems to be out of position most of the time.

Same offensive dysfunction as last year.
Ugly. Awful.

First quarter was OK, then a lot of hero ball and trying to force the ball to Gobert in the 2nd quarter.
Nothing from our bench.

Naz not nearly as effective playing the 4 with the compressed spacing.

Need more offensive leadership from Conley.

Starting to lose some effort with loose balls and closeouts.
Toronto's poor shooting keeping us in the game.

5 of 6 possesions trying to pass to Gobert.

Wheels have come off the bus.

Guys are tired, need a sub

We look like absolute ****!

This transition defense is gonna kill the T’Wolves all season it looks like. Imagine playing the Warriors, Thunder, even the Bulls?!
This is gonna be a long season.

Can't play any worse and we're still in this one.

Karl-Anthony Towns has been horrible. When his head is out of the game, he becomes a huge liability.
