I don't understand why we have so many dumb turnovers. You expect some turnovers in a game but these are just really bad ones

We went from being one of the hottest teams in the league to playing like a lottery team.

Why does this team suck so bad at home. So frustrating and of course they let some scrubs shoot lights out.

Ant is still out of sorts. NAW needs a shooting coach. He's aiming it.

Turnovers and careless play continue to be disappointing.

We'll take care of business though by the end.

Not a good first quarter. We are looking like the old wolves, playing down, not focused. Blazers are really bad but they are full of hungry young guys, you still have to play like a good team to beat them easily. You play loose and sloppy and they will capitalize. The team still seems to have mental blocks. Hope they clean it up in the second half.

Is it me or our defense gets a lot worse with Towns on the floor. It seems to go from advantage to liability. Getting back on D on miss or turnovers is killing us.

For the remainder of this year, we should limit the time Gobert and Towns share the floor. Also, let Towns focus on feasting on second unit

I think it was still pretty good the first few games. Even the Lakers games was solid until we went to crap and Davis killed us in the 4th. I think they have shown they can play defense fine, the problem is consistency. Also this illness is apparently really bad. Ant was throwing up at halftime last game. It just really hard to judge things with all the injuries, illnesses, and weird situations.

POR remind me of playing with 9 random guys for 10 bucks a head on the NYC play ground. No structure, everyone just hustle and hard fouls trying to win $10.

Yes, I am not picking on Ants' bad passes (but now I said it). He still doesn't look 100% today. Give him a lot of credit to be out there. Unlike the other so call point guard we used to have that just sits with every little bump.

We have seen past wolves teams like this. Nothing to lose, chance to spoil your opponent's goals, its playing free and hard and it will beat teams that aren't focused.
