I'll consider it a win if we can finish the first down 5 or less.

Kyle Anderson has been super sloppy with the ball, this season. He can definitely clean it up a bit.

We're in trouble if it's going to be one of these Luka games

he's going to get 40 minimum. We can still win if he does.

Good news is that Minnesota is only down by seven, despite Luka’s onslaught. Bad news is that Minnesota is down by only seven, despite everyone else on Dallas shooting horribly.

We really need to unlock Towns, we will win a lot easier if we can get him scoring at a higher clip. Him having 18 point games wont cut it, we need him getting big numbers a lot of nights.

Ant and KAT combines 5 TO..... way too much. They make stupid play ( tunnel vision) tonight. Hope they fix it for second quarter.

He needs to stop caring about his 50/40/90 splits and actually shoot threes when he is open.

Dallas looked like they had zero offense before the season started but they actually do have some nice shooters. Exum has been ridiculous lately. Wish they would loan us a couple, we could use them.

Exum looks so much stronger than back when he was with Jazz, remember him being a twig

Minnesota's three-point defense is horrific, right now. Minnesota is so lucky that Dallas is clanking.

Rudy Gobert being in foul trouble is about to be a serious problem.

We definitely look like we lost something in these last couple of games.

Reminder folks, even if we lose, it's only our first two-game losing streak of the season. Let's try to keep the pitchforks in the closet...

Refs dont help. Putting Rudy and KAT in fouls trouble early in the game limit our defense efficiency. I agree we let too many 3 open.

Hell of a run there. Jaden with some really great D on Luka.

To be fair, I haven't seen any wrong calls on either of them. They need to be more careful about picking up ticky-tack fouls.
