He's a 2 of a championship team. His defense is THAT good, but can't have him guarding guards..

He is one of the best value contracts in the league, particularly considering how clutch he performs in the playoffs.

Randle needs to reduce the turnovers

Too many open shots for them

MIN giving up way too many points in the 1st qtr.

I'm just so disappointed with how terrible Donte DiVincenzo is on both sides of the basketball.

Like dude, why are you REACHING on every possession against Shai Gilgious-Alexander? Just so dumb.

Refs have decided we may not have half the contact they can have. This game was decided by 3 zebras.

Proceeds to immediately get lost and give up an open three to arguably the best catch-and-shoot player in the NBA. :lol:

Defense very poor. Ball security very poor.
30 first quarter playoff points should be at least a 5pt lead.

They have two hot hands. I am hopeful they cool off some. My bigger concern is we are being fouled to cause turnovers, but we are not being allowed to play the same physical defense. They have called 7 fouls on us, 3 on them.

Edit to correct, I saw the wrong line on the box score. 4-3. Not 7-3.

Randle is currently the epic fail

Somebody please pressure Williams

More ball handlers needed in the offseason

TimberKat · Post #55 » by **TimberKat** » Tue May 27, 2025 1:17 am

If we break even on turnovers and 50-50 rebounds, we would be doing fine right now. :nonono:

Randle is consistently missing wide open guys

Exactly right. How many balls can Rudy get beat to under our net? 8 flippin turn overs for the Wolves. Looking bleak at this point.

I’ve had enough of Donte

Post #59 » by **Domejandro** » Tue May 27, 2025 1:20 am

I can't keep watching Donte DiVincenzo play basketball. Dude got eurostepped on by Isaiah Joe.

I thought he was much better when we made the trade. I would move him this off season.
