I wanted to complain about Anthony Edwards getting blown past by Kelly Olynyk, but there was no thread.

I want finch to challenge this team to shoot zero 3s in a quarter unless there’s 2 seconds on shot clock. Just to see how it goes. Because we suck at 3s.

Defense has been decent. But not a fan of some of these 3 point attempts..I don't mind them taking open 3's but some of the 3's they are attempting are contested 3's even when there is lot more time on shot clock. It's also not like we have some Steph Curry level shooters on the team to justify these kind of shot attempts. That last 3 pt attempt from Naz was just garbage

I don’t want any 3 attempts period.

Rivers has been decent

I'd much rather the Wolves sign Dozier and give him Rivers minutes. Clarkson is pretty much torching Rivers right now.

Wolves extend lead to double digits with no help from the 3 ball.

Gobert has been excellent

Ant shoots 1-7 and as a team the Wolves are 21% on 3s, so having a 15 point lead at the half is a bit surprising.

The 1st half is what I expect with the Gobert trade. Slower pace than last year but good D. The only thing missing is better 3pt shooting

Utah took 2 shot attempts at the rim that entire half.

I was going to say that Gobert's presence is really evident in this game, they are not trying to take layups/dunks at the rim, a ton of floaters if they get that close.

Ant is having an poor game offensively...missed like 2-3 gimmes near the rim

I get that Ant can be really streaky, but missing multiple uncontested layups really hurts.

Rough night for Ant but at least the team is still up. He has been getting lit on defense early on too. If he could just be a reliable defender our stock would shoot way up as a team.

But we are still leading. Hope he gets hot in the 4th. The game is slipping away, we need one more push.

Naz Reid and Rudy Gobert should never be on the court together.

Welp. We suck. Ant didnt come to play tonight. Bad loss

Finch is a clown

Why is finch experimenting line ups? What a bad coach
