New Orleans is playing like the team with the #1 defense tonight and we are playing like a bunch of high schoolers.

Minnesota is benefitting from the “it’s a blowout”-whistle super hard.

Re: Wolves vs Pelicans, 1/3, Game Thread
Ant has lost all confidence in his teammates this game. Full on pressing and it’s hurting him and his team.
They’ve lost focus on defense the past few games. There may be a deeper issue brewing as the old wolves are starting to show.
Finch and staff have to add the structure back

Maybe if we get blown out by 40 it will give the team the humbling it needs to start locking in for a full game for once.

9 rebounds for our starters through 3 quarters - thanks to a flurry from Ant.

We only have 12 defensive rebounds through 3 quarters. That's how bad our defense has been.

Honestly, at this point, besides Mike, Ant is the only player I have confidence in at this point also.
KAT is constantly turning down 3pt shots so he can drive in for an O foul. Mcdaniels isn’t close to being more than occasionally special. Naw is extremely streaky, Naz has KATitis and keeps turning down 3s for drives. Rudy is Rudy. The bench is lackluster to say the least.

Six (really eight!) turnovers directly caused by Anthony Edwards tonight. The majority of them live-ball turnovers. Yeesh.

Thunder almost came back on the Hawks, they might take the number 1 seed by this time next week if we don't get our act together they are red hot.

I just don’t know how Jim Peterson can watch this game and have positive comments on Anthony Edwards’ play.

As the saying goes - you don’t rebound makes. Defense nonexistent. Again.

Naz passes up an open 3 with a clearly CLEARLY shorter defender playing off a few feet and decides to dribble out clock.
So smart /s

Pelicans spanked that ass. Zion gets official Wolf-Killer status. We got an issue with athletic bigs, they kill us.

To get back on the positivity train….
We’re going to have a losing streak at some point. Let’s do it now, take our lumps and rediscover what we lost.
Defense wins, period. It makes up for so many other deficiencies and it travels.
It’s a long season guys. Save the clicking offensive unit and suffocating defense for the late season push and the playoffs.
