Sounding as discouraged and defeated as they have all season, the players painted a picture of frustration after this one-sided loss to the Hornets.
Here is Kevin Love: “I’d be lying to you if I said we weren’t,” Love said when asked if the team was discouraged. “I mean, guys are trying to pick each other up. Every day we come in and play hard and work hard, because this is our job and this is what we have to do. But I’m getting a little discouraged. This is kind of turning into last year. I hate to say that.”
That, folks, is bad. Even the players are admitting it now. This Wolves team, which continues to turn the ball over and play stretches of zero defense, feels like last year's Wolves team.
Michael Beasley, who also admitted frustration with his own shooting, described the team as discouraged.
It will be very interesting to see how this team plays down the stretch, whether it plays hard or packs it in. it will say a lot about what the team needs to do during the off-season. The Wolves just lost their seventh straight, matching their longest losing streak of the season. four of those losses have been by more than 10 points.
