This is why Thibs doesnt like Lavine at the end of games inbounding or running the offense.

add in the Ricky turnover, and the poor positioning by Towns on the defensive glass.

These guys are snakebit. And rightfully so. We have no capability to close games. That game, along with a rash of others this season, should have been easy close outs. Jazz played terrible and we still gave it away. I'm at a loss for this team.

You would think this kind of thing would literally be impossible over the course of an NBA season but with this team, after all these years, you realize ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!

I was eating dinner & I saw the Wolves were up 11 to end the third. I said "Gonna blow the lead & lose" and kept eating. Checked twitter & saw they lost by 2. LMAO

I don't know why I keep coming back. "Maybe this time they won't collapse like they always do?" Nope... They always... ****... do...

Why do I feel worse this year with us being unclutch (choke) than the 2013-2014 season when we were so unclutch also?

I think not having a guard that can score is becoming an issue late in game.

Thibs is expecting wiggins to initiate offense which is something hes never done in his life. Creating is something we need from him if he is going to be the late game guy, but he just doesnt know how to be that guy right now.

The only other option is rubio, but he isnt as effective when he doesnt want to shoot. He was great early, then started passing up shots near the paint because he doesnt have a floater nor an ability to make a layup.

We have actually gotten a little bench production too lately and we are still botching games. These guys are so damn inexperienced and mentally fragile down the stretch. The kids poop their pants so badly, they really do not know how to win and every time we try to rely on them they crumble.

Right. It is such a luxury to have a PG that can break a defense down and at least get to the line. Dunn could be that guy but he has a long way to go.

How about we scored 1 effing point in the last 4:41 of the game. Hard to believe, but true.

Have we hit bottom??
