Trade Edwards! Anymore takers yet? Bus door is open. Not sure he's taken a shot in the third. Which I suppose is how it will be, either nearing 30 or invisible.

I'm sorry but Ant kills us every posession. Turnover, dumb attempt, dumb low percentage showboating pass. I put the blame on Finch tho, he simply doesnt put a stop to this. Why is Ant bringing the ball up, and why is he stationary dribbling for 12 seconds staring at the defense? Who does he think he is, and how is this team ever going to develop any rhythm on offence? I could care less wether he hits or not. This is just simply poor basketball, Finch isnt coaching to bring out the best of this team imho.

Nice series there, the Kat block and the nice Nowell finish in traffic.

Welcome to the party. Granted he should be getting whistles, but still it’s pretty hard to justify this. That’s why when Beasley and Dlo are back he should be coming off the BENCH! Finch might cus him out in practice but he needs to hold him accountable as well.

Ant is such a negative on both ends. I feel like Finch needs to sit him for awhile.

OKC has the greatest selection of young shooters I have seen. Thought they were last in offense lol.

Nowell at 19 minutes. Just not enough minutes for him to see that shot warm up. He was at 12 to start the 4th I think. It's hard to watch Pro coaches not realize these individual things about their players.

Anthony Edwards looks like an idiot jumping for all these pump fakes. Dude has to be the worst defender on the wolves easily

Team looks lazy as hell tonight thinking they were going to walk all over okc

On the year they are 26th in the NBA in 3pt%. This is one of those shooting nights that will probably only happen for them once in a season.

They were ripping them for being 26 on the season. yet the Wolves are 23 loaded with first round talents and OKC is playing a new 8 every game.

He isnt interested in playing defense because he wants to have interviews, ROTM, and NBA Top 10 mentions. Its a MAYBE for a nice block on a 3 pt attempt, definitely no mention for playing good defense. KAT was just like that in his first seasons.

Either Finch isnt holding certain guys accountable (worst thing ever imho, double standards) or he is in tank mode already.
