This is so unfair to Ant, man. This team is a mess. Conley was supposed to be the glue on this team. He is ass

I must say Denver is tough. We are being out coached too. That pains me to say it. Maybe Finch is a better assistant than HC.

I'm not sure the offense he runs plays to our players strengths.

This team cannot execute competent offense in key moments.

Sadly we don't got it. Would have been so much better if we could have taken care of business and got the Kings. We would probably lose that series too but I think it would be a better matchup for us. We never could get it together and wound up getting 8 and this is the reward.

It's one so-so game from him. You are overacting. Denver is beating us across the board.

Tough to win when the bench combines to go 3-15 while not proving much else.

Yep, this is why the playoffs are so important. It really exposes your flaws. Denver has gone through this process many times and they are now able to be a well oiled machine. We are learning now. Jmac, Nowell seem unusable. Have to question Karl's ability to help going forward too. Got to look at the style of play, see its flaws, strengths, everything. All of this is really important information to get.


but the same flaws were exposed last playoffs

its a perimeter/skill league and ANT was the only capable guard/wing, as he is now

same thing is true now, but the Wolves shot their load on Gobert instead

they need Jaden to improve and then to somehow luck in to two additional legit guards/wings

Conley was bad last playoffs too, he's past his prime, it is what it is
there is a reason why Memphis was ok with KA leaving

Finch is in over his head, keep him and the wolves will continue to be an unstable middling team.

That is twice Bruce Brown hit someone in the head? What is the T?

just not enough shooting

Conley trying to create something with Gobert/KAT first, Denver just doesn't guard Gobert on the perimeter, presses up on KAT no where to go
tries to get something with KA, Denver backs off him until he tries to drive with the shot clock running out

Too many turnovers and blown defensive assignments down the stretch.

We had our chances, but just out of gas. Some bad turnovers and bad fouls at the end. Win or lose, it's a encouraging game for next year. I don't think we are that far away. Just one or two consistent bench guys, we will be set next year

This offense will continue to struggle as long as they are doing the KAT-Gobert thing. Their spacing is so bad 90% of the time. That's the real issue they will never admit.
