Game 5: Nuggets @ Timberwolves , 8 pm, BSN

[Takingbaconback]

They don't have the horses to shoot 3's well, but man these are some ugly turnovers and missed bunnies. ANT should keep attacking though cuz he's getting fantastic looks.

[Calinks]

Lots to clean up in the second half. Edwards and Dlo are missing way too many shots. Tons of turnovers which now have Denver back in the game. The foul situation is also not good. We have pretty clearly had control of this game which is fantastic, especially considering our shooting woes but we cannot continue to play like this and win. Denver is far too good.

Ant missed like 3 finishes near the rim which he'd normally make...DLo have another awful shooting night.

[life_saver]

Despite those unusual misses near the rim from Ant, he should keep continuing attacking in 2nd half..he has been getting lot of good looks

[wolves_89]

Way too many mental mistakes in the first half. The team missed 3-4 wide open layups and had half a dozen turnovers where they passed the ball right to a Nuggets player. Add in a ton of open shots that didn't go in and it was a self inflicted struggle on the offensive end.

[Calinks]

Denver will not play this poorly in the second half. We cannot afford to keep this up if we don't match them.

[Takingbaconback]

Dlo needs to redeem himself in 2nd half. Asteocious shooting in 1st half.

Atrocious shooting from the entire team. They need to make a move for a shooter. He also needs to redeem himself in the decision making department cuz it's been complete crap. Idk why he gets the ball every time in the half court offense, ANT should get it more often and Dlo can play off ball to switch it up instead of just running toward the ball all the time.

Why do you need to play mclaughlin?

[Muskies97]

We're gonna need some better guard play if this team is gonna be a decent playoff team.

The thing is the Wolves should be a good 3pt shooting team. Towns, Russell, Beverley, Beasley, and Prince should all be 38+% 3pt shooters. Edwards, McDaniels, Reid, and McLaughlin should be 35+% on 3s. There are just a lot of guys shooting way worse than they should be.

[Calinks]

Yea we have a lot of shooters, they just aren't shooting well.

Yeah but the only pure shooter is Beasley. And by pure shooter I refer to someone who has the ability to consistently hit their percentages. When you watch the other guys shoot, you don't have a great feeling it's going down when the ball goes up. They should be shooting a lot better than 5/19 regardless that's for sure.

[Calinks]

Very unfortunate that we haven't managed to clean it up.

[life_saver]

KAT with just 5 shot attempts so far

[SCTwins]

I know this is an anomaly, and the shooting is going to pick up, but man it's tough to watch.

We're still in it though.. All we need is someone to start the roll.

[wolves_89]

So many self-inflicted mistakes tonight.

[life_saver]

unbelievable...another missed layup..this time from Okogie.

[life_saver]

this is really good defensive effort

[life_saver]

that's why you have to trust Beasley..he is the best spot up shooter among our wings/guards.

[life_saver]

Beasleyyyy
