I really dislike the stagnation of the offense down the stretch, even if it is working alright tonight.

Love Ant. Needs to learn to box out someone, anyone. Like I don’t know if he’s done it at all this year.

Towns effed this game up. Russell to a lesser extent dropped the ball too but Karl killed our chances with his foul issues. We also don't have enough toughness in the frontcourt, we need an enforcer. Jaden is great and KAT has been solid but they are finesse guys, we need someone who can muck it up and is big.

Huge shame we wasted Edwards big night. A lot of this game will probably go out the window because the wolves lost. Would have been some cool medai attention. Grizzlies still have our number, oh well, more lottery balls.

Helluva game. We deserved better. Morant and Bane killed us. No Ant last 4 minutes. Bleep!

Jim Pete is right. As good as D’Lo was down the stretch, tonight, Ant needed the ball.

That said, what killed us was defense. Need to figure that out this offseason. Won’t win until we can get at least close to an average defense.

Why did DLO casually walk the ball up in a 4pt game?? Are you serious

Minnesota had 8.5 seconds left, why did they just give up down four?

Get me a defensive big this off-season, that's my biggest ask. Real size, real presence. Let's go big, to hell with small ball.

If Indy puts Turner on the market, have to make a legit offer. I’d also accept drafting Mobley if we get lucky in the lotto.

I'd go crazy for Mobley. He's the guy we need.

I'm right with you. I really want Turner, I think is exactly what we need but I will roll with Monley too if he is an option.

Not saying we have gone small, I'm jsut saying lets not try that again, let's go the other, let's go big and bad. Rosas and the front office seemed like their aspiration was to remake the Houston model and I think that's big mistake. We need to get big and powerful.

Two games in a row the Wolves went almost exclusively to the DLO/KAT pair to close out the game, and both nights they didn't get the job done. We really need closing sets that involve all 3 of DLO/KAT/Edwards.

Looing at Russell's statline he played a lot better than I thought. The turnovers were bad but he was great everywhere else expect 3's.
