Thibs has to value shooting a lot more
He has 3 starters that really need space to operate
And this was a glaring issue before the season started .
The pace needs to pick up. Get guys some easy scores in transition.

That was last year.

In what, his second year?
How about offseason adjustment after our first playoff appearance in 13 years?

I’m probably drunk and arguing with a middle schooler, my bad dude.

This is what I expected and wanted. Knew we stood no chance against Houston but I will take it over missing the playoffs and everyone still thinking we were some kind of great team that just didn't make it. We will be a lot better next season because of this series. Lets also not forget we still got two home games. We arent winning this series but we can still make some noise.

Man, Bjelly has been a zero factor all playoffs. Our lack of 3 point shooting is really being talked about too now.

Yea I think this summer is a big one for Thibs. Got to wait to see if he will fix the weakness of the team. But I understand why some are frustrated
Some of these issues were pretty apparent before the season started

Got some work to do but I think things can be fixed

This could be the most embarrassing playoff game so far. Really bad beating.

I'm still hopeful to win one game this series. Was my goal when the series began!

Great players dont need to get clowned for motivation to improve their game, most important games of Kat's career and he doesnt show up smh

Its happened to many players before.

Including Harden, who's not exactly inspiring tonight.

The Wolves are either dumb, poorly coached, lack competitive fire, lack cohesion as a unit, or a combination of all four because they do not have that much less talent than Houston. It's hard to know which one is most prevalent.

Mike Dantononi out there laughing it up lol. Man getting clowned sucks.

Reggie: "This is a young Timberwolves team. Somebody should be taking a hard foul on Harden"

The average age on the floor is like 33 years old.

They had a PG who could and loved to push the pace and he got rid of him for an ISO score first guy who plays no defense.

Offseason is going to be fascinating. Can we move Dieng's contract? Do they let Belly walk? Can they add some shooting?

Rubio? He's 11 for 34 in the playoffs so far. Luckily for Utah they have a great rim protector and a rookie that gives effort every game.

Towns is getting murdered by the commentators.

Step 1 needs to be get rid of Jamal, you can't fix the bench without doing that.
