What a way to try and end the season. Reverting back to the wolves of old. Going to take a Herculean effort just to get back in it

Will be interesting to see who of our guys plays with nothing to lose in the 2nd half.

Or did they decide as a group that it's over..

I don't know how you lose 5 of 6 on your home court in the playoffs. And get absolutely smoked in a home elimination game.
I don't know what these guys are doing when they go home at night but they are the opposite of locked in when the games start.

Minnesota TImbermemes. This team is a national joke.
This is what happens when your two best players act like clowns and crack jokes in post game press conferences and care more about their drip on their instagram than how to properly run the defense you need to beat these 2 incredible players you are facing.
Mentally this is a team of grown men playing a team full of mental 7th graders.

Trade Rudy, trade KAT.
Get these mental midgets away from Ant while there is still time for him to change.

Dallas is locked in and Luka is a cold blooded killer. Right up there with Jokic for best current player in the league.
They've got a real shot against Boston, but Boston isn't going to roll over like this and spend the whole first quarter trying to feed their worst offensive player in the teeth of the opposing defense.

Finch should put in the scrub lineup at least to start the 3rd just to send a damn message.

But his unwillingness and inability to change his offensive system gave us NO CHANCE in this series.
Denver gave them the blueprint but Dallas had the players to execute it better.

And his lack of trapping and double teaming in the regular season gave this team absolutely no practice executing it.

I just got back from golf for the 2nd half. Good think I didn't waste my time watching it. Is there even a teachable moment in this game beside let's fire Finch and trade Ant to start over?

He's got SGA in his name so he probably flopped on his way out the door.

How many alley oops in this series and not one hard foul on any of them.
I miss the old days.

You should have put in the scrubs Finch.

I love how every single time, Rudy does not trust the low man to be there and ends up standing under the basket guarding no one while Luka or Kyrie glide in for a layup.
7'2 with that huge wingspan and still absolutely no effort or know how to effect the pass.

There’s going to be a lot of overreaction with blowing the Ram up vs running it back and retooling etc. Heard decisions coming but I don’t know if you can just retool. Team still isn’t constructed the best.

The better question is how many alley oops Ant throw in this series? This is not a Gobert question, throw it to Towns, Naz, or KA.

Maybe now we will get some real change.
I hope we lose by 60.

Yeah, evident the team decided it's over. What a pathetic effort. Dallas is good, but not that good. Really discerning that the coaches couldn't put us in a better situation to take advantage of our strengths, and exploit their weaknesses.

The overall ability of our coaching staff may need evaluation. I am concerned.

What a shame to end the season like this. Cheer up. It has been a great season.
