It's great that we look nothing like the 3 pt shooting team we were at the start of the season. Were sharing the ball now. What a revelation.

We need a creator so badly with that bench unit

Celtics five in the paint. No respect for our shooting. And they shouldn’t respect our shooting.

Love the 3:53 2nd qt pass from Conley to Gobert in a back to the basket post up. Even though Gobert doesn't have a fade away shot, he found an open Conley for 3pt. With so little 1on1 offensive players on the team. This play should be a stable to get some good looks when things brought down. Especially when teams trying to go small with Gobert.

Or a reasonably decent PG over 6'1

We can not get a bucket on so many open looks.

We all things considered, still a good half. We got good looks but shots didn't go down.

I preface by saying, wolves shoot themselves in the foot a lot.

However, the more you watch their games against top teams, there’s always a moment where it seems rigged.

There’s always a span where it seems like the refs do just enough to give the favorite enough juice to gain and keep the momentum. Then, go back to calling it “fair”.

The wolves get called for the most ticky tack nonsensical fouls of any team I’ve ever seen.

Can’t and 1 this enough. We do ourselves no favors and I’m sure our whining is hated by refs, but damn it looks like Doneghy Era Rigging sometimes.

I don't get the jump ball call on Ant. Just go to the monitor and take a quick look. It doesn't take any longer than a jump ball.

Going to need a massive quarter.

We are not there with the elite teams, they execute at such a high level, we are up and down. That said, I do think we are real .500 team. Meaning, we aren't a bad team, we just so-so. In previous seasons we would get clowned about a dozen times a season. I don't know if we have been clowned more than once or twice this season. We definitely get beat but we don't get badly embarrassed, and that's an improvement.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

How are you supposed to win games like this? Ant can’t sit any longer.

We got to stop fouling or refs got to stop calling. Still in striking distance. Just keep focus and play
