Look closer

It’s actually the last five times.

Last game of the season probably. If Denver is serious. Hope we have fun and give a good fight.

I'm looking at this game as sort of a celebration/farewell. I think there is a large possibility this is the last time we see some familiar faces. A Towns trade or Finch firing are solid possibilities. I'll take this game in as a likely end of an era. As bad as parts of this season were and these playoffs have been. Towns, Finch, Naz, and others have given me a lot of fun moments as a wolves fan. Will be really interested to see what direction Tim Connelly goes after this.

What direction Connelly goes after this? South-East to Washington D.C.

Did you see Ryan Saunders consoling KCP there? Likely telling him road teams never get good whistle at Target Center.

One thing I heard that was interesting was Denvers mantra coming into this season (which I forgot, something like team before self) is Ryan's Saunders doing, he used the same thing here. They say Saunders has been a huge addition to the coaching staff and integral to what Denver has done this season. That's pretty awesome for him, I'm sure he was depressed after that firing.

This is why you sometimes has to force feed Gobert. Get the Joker to work and get him into foul trouble. By the way, I don't like the term "force feed", you just have to do it a little more often. Ant should have shot the ball, instead of pass to Gobert in that one instance.

The only time that Gobert should get the ball is when he can dunk it without dribbling. Having the ball in his hands is a massive liability at any other time.

That's 4 possessions we've pissed away trying to get Rudy the ball for a basket. When will we learn? Only throw lobs to him. Make him defend and rebound mostly. We've only played 5 minutes.

2 cheap fouls on Kat.

Feels like Gobert and ANT are just always playing at different speeds offensively. Probably part of why they have such little chemistry.

2 cheap fouls on KA now too. Fix is in.

A little worrying. I think Rudy is here for a while, at least another season, we really need to work hard this summer getting those two on the same page.

Ant just missed Gobert again and also go right into Joker. He's got two fouls

Anderson, come on son.

Anderson is not playing well. He's had multiple bad turnovers and is unwilling to shoot wide open shots.

McLaughlin has also been terrible.
