If it makes anyone feel any better. The team kicking our ass, was built by our GM.

We are so outcoached it’s not funny.
The talent differential is massive.

Tim Connelly has a lot of work to do. We go out every game like this and we will be in a huge dark hole. Big contrast from how we felt last season. Two bigs has been an unmitigated disaster. Very few players have chemistry with Gobert, KAT's advantages are taken away with him at PF.

We look way better without KAT.

Like we did against Memphis last playoffs. Like we did this season (even with a similar record). We just move better, pass better, just a more enjoyable game to watch.

Connelly got us in this mess. If anyone deserves to be fired it's him

I think its more, we look way better with one center out there. The two center thing has not worked well at all in most games.

The Nuggets are giving the Wolves a ton of looks from the 3pt line, unfortunately we can't make open shots (or are scared to shoot).

Major achievement, we force DEN to call a time out with a 15pt lead. This maybe as good as it gets tonight.

Re: Playoff game 2 Wolves at Denver 4-19-2023
It's rough, we really have no idea how to play effectively with our three top players, they have not been able to fit and make it work. Look extremely bad when you go up against a team who has their identity down rock solid and everyone knows their role. It's like a novice going up against a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu.

Re: Playoff game 2 Wolves at Denver 4-19-2023
Wolves need to figure out what their priority is. Do they want big time performers or regular season superstars??
If you want performers, then you prob do need to consider trading Towns. Yes he can shoot but he’s not someone you can win with long term I’m sorry.
All his peers have gotten better over the same period of time and he has not. I believe he’s maxed out honestly.
Also, they don’t respect our shooting so they’re packing the paint. If you’re forced to keep Rudy then you absolutely need to get some shooters on this team.
Next, can Jaden become as good as at least Jaylen Brown? If not, then he’s not untouchable.
It’s time to be honest about this team and stop wishful thinking. I’ve typically been one who’s optimistic about our teams over the years but you can tell when a team isn’t for real. Even when you consider injuries.
Every team in the league has dealt with injuries this year and still perform better than we do. Frustrating

Despite the blown dunk. Rudy’s game is more conducive to winning than Kats. Shooting the ball isn’t the whole game.

If Finch has any cells left in his head he challenges that call.

Could only imagine if the Wolves still had Wiggins + Towns + Lavine.. that’d been disastrous.

Are layups illegal if you don’t have a Colorado drivers license?
