sloppy
seems like half of Portand's offense has been Wolves not knowing who is guarding who and Portland getting clear lanes to basket

I think it might be more a lack of effort rather than not knowing who to guard.

idk maybe
just seems like half dozen times the ball handler was able to take it right to the basket from half court with zero resistance
Banton in particular

For once, Finch call timeout at the right time. I was wondering how long do I have to wait for it.

Guys aren't moving their feet and the defensive help rotations are non-existent.

Wolves have missed a bunch relatively easy point blank shots.

Towns cannot be a no show in the second half. Drop this game and you lose all the good will from last night.

Rudy played 20 minutes in the first half. I don't know if I've ever seen that before.

Nice to finish with an eight point lead. We played lazy with a lack of ball movement so we should have plenty of energy for the 2nd half. Oh yea, we're on a back to back. So much for that.

We are always capable of screwing it up, but we're up 8 at the half and that isn't bad. Would have been nice to not lose the 2nd quarter.

Was hoping to see Rudy get some rest tonight. Maybe we come out hot in the 3rd.

KAT has yet to make a basket. Will he get it going?

Gobert and Kyle Anderson minutes = bad offense

Anthony Edwards has gotten frustrated by no-calls. Really forcing, after a great first half.

Conley with 3 blocks. Rudy 0. I wonder when that last happened.

I really want Monte to get going the rest of this quarter. I am not greedy, just 5 points and 2 dimes is all I ask for.

Man, Anthony Edwards got cooked ball-watching that inbound play.
