Have we lost the 1st quarter in every game?

Watch how LBJ shadow Ant and guard his person at the same time. If our main guys Ant, Randle, Naz and JMcD can learn to that, we won't have issue guarding Luka.

Don't let the Lakers pull away. Need to keep this close, can't be battling back from a huge deficit!

He had Reaves guarding him. They were attacking the mismatch.

Come on ..we have seen this so many times this season where it didn't matter who the person guarding him was...Rudy is just not the player who can advantage of mismatch like that.

Wolves have brought like a C+ of their game to this whole series. Just one half of A ball would lead to a blowout

Did Gobert had too many Red Bulls before the game? He needs another darkness retreat. Just seem to have nervous hands and can't even hit FTs at regular season rate

This team has succeeded in spite of Connelly.

I like all of our players. I don't have any personal malice towards Rudy himself. His story of how he got to where he is in that one article was pretty heart warming.

I really just dont like how much other people here (like you) act like he's the next coming of Jesus when he has a ton of major flaws.

I also really don't like how his contract situation has affected the team and the move and potential we took away from this team that was required to get him. I don't like how it affected our timeline and speedrunned development for our young players and their deals.

The only person I truly hate with a passion is TC. The day he leaves or gets fired will make me feel a similar level of joy to when Thibs and Kahn got the boot to the curb.

I'm glad we have Connelly and I give him the lion's share of credit for our success the last couple years.


Yeah you're an idiot.

The guy who drafted Edwards, Jaden, signed Naz and got Finch and put together a team of relatively valuable role players after Thibs took a fat **** on this franchise deserves the credit for pretty much all of our success at the moment.

TC is just the guy that blew his entire hand for some short term success.

If Rosas could keep his dick in his pants we'd be in a better spot NGL.

He made some idiotic moves like Culver and DLo but they weren't nearly as bad as TC hard capping our team which forced us to trade our 2nd best player for basically the package that was available for multiple years.


Note, there is no place for name-calling and getting personal. Stop doing that.

For a change, Wolves finished the quarter very strongly... pretty big swing
