Poor effort

Wolves leading 30 to 21, shooting 50% and 40% from 3s. I will take that with a few turnovers. They need to slow down Curry in the 2nd qtr

I am way behind but I wanted to draw attention to a possession starting at 5:12 in the first. Naz loses the handle, NAW loses the handle, Randle drives inside out of control and barely hits Ant who whips it to Naz who whips it to NAW for an open 3 which makes it 19-14. This play shows even with 3 or 4 mistakes, if you move the ball you will find the open shooter. More of this please.

That was the nicest end of qtr play I seen executed by Gobert, Ant, and Connelly. Looks like Ant maybe finally turning to corner (or looking at the corners :D )

Sorry, I was referring to your game thread intro. I got caught up tonight, and couldn't do it properly. My bad, we're good

We're good. 3rd qtr is definitely poor efforts so far, getting run over by GSW

Lousy 3rd qtr from Wolves. It's going to come down to who is more hungry for the win. Curry is having one of those nights

Ant has been getting swallowed up in the 4th by Gary Payton Jr

Ant at 3:20 left in the fourth is showing you once again why he is neither a leader nor a winner. Hero ball BS will always be the wrong answer.

Minnesota had great flow, NAW was killing it with catch and shoot.

In comes Anthony Edwards to hit one three and proceed to throw the game. Like clockwork!

Genuinely hate watching Anthony Edwards play basketball in fourth quarters.

Curry has mastered the push off than fall down. Maybe if the refs learn how to call a ****** game properly this **** would stop.
