Yea, it seems our offense is a problem. We don't generate enough. We got good defense but we don't have an offense that can carry the load when if our defense falls off or we face another top tier defense.

No shooting from second unit. This may be the isssue of the season, NAW is not consistent and wil never be and Reid seems back on earth,

Edit: I found Steal and blocks and SGA buries ANT in those 2.3 to 1.4 and .9 to .4.

If Ant ever develops a consistent mid-range game like SGA, then SGA would be a poor man's Ant.

I say it every game but our offense needs to get Towns way more looks from three. He needs to be taking like 3 three pointers a quarter, he should be taking an obscene amount of them.

Anderson playing horrifically bad. And him playing with Rudy kills all our spacing.

We need to win this challenge. It could go either way. I'm guessing we lose it. I hope I'm wrong.

We need another timeout now. The game is running away from Twolves.

So far they're allowing us to hang around. Seems like we should be down 25 right now.

Switched to Naz on SGA and Naz is slowing him down. Way to go Naz.

Towns 5 points
Ant 6 points

Not going to get it done.

Our stars have to step up. Our offense has to get going. We need to get some looks. Finch and the staff got to find a better way to get this offense jump started going forward.

Really not crazy about how much Anthony Edwards complains to referees. He perpetually jumps into defenders for wild attempts and gets upset when there is (correctly) no call.
