Here we go again. Uncanny how we blow these 4th quarters.

A 4th quarter Rubio turnover starting an opponent scoring run. Where have I seen this before?

- Okogie out of lineup
- Push offense thru Ant Edwards (not only start, but best driver on team by far and can create for others more than D'lo can)
- Kat back...yeah, yeah

Good things of late
- Ricky getting into a groove
- emergence of Vando and Jaden McDaniels at PF
- Ant taking off more and more
- Naz asserting on offense
- Nowell as bench shooter/scorer
- Beasley as an elite scorer and shooter (not finisher)

A lot of frustrations, but some bright spots. That is a lot better than the bleak point we were at 2 weeks ago.


I do agree they are playing way better. We were getting blown out left and right before. That said we still have a huge gap to fill, these droughts, collapses, and terrible offensive plays have got to get better.

Layman back to being a negative on both ends of the floor. Why is he guarding Horford?

When they have 2 PGs on the court the Wolves have an incredible number of turnovers and truly awful shots.

DLo making a point to not touch the ball down the stretch?

Back to back Layman and Naz layups setup by Rubio so

Playing Layman and McDaniels together at the forward spots seems to work.

Second game in a row Russell is a major negative at the end of the game.

Dlo is due for a game winner. Rooting for you guys to pull this one out.
