Gobert needs to do a better job in those Zion double teams.

Chris Finch once again doesn’t take timely timeouts. Jaden once again is not a part of the offense. Ant once again takes more no pass shots, than shots within the flow of the offense. The Wolves once again implode in a quarter giving a bad team a legit chance to beat them. Why should I care about this game, the Wolves don’t.

Does look like we are back to early in the season Wolves. But Conley is hitting shots and Ant made a pass to Gobert. Which leads to a dunk and a timeout.

ISO ball, your turn my turn. No defense. This is what we look like when the 3s don’t fall and the ball stops moving.

This kinda feels like first 3 months of season...just not sure Gobert-Randle is gonna work long term. Also Jaden's offensive role seems like it's back to what it was pre-January. Quite a disappointing game so far. Atleast Conley is playing well

Two words: Chris Finch.

It's mostly Wolves defense and NOP are hitting the catch and shoot 3s at a very high rate. We just can't defend quick PF. I would had gone with Clark on Zion too but that is not working so well either. How is it possible that I missed Towns defense on PFs?

Tough first, except Mike no one play well. No ball movement, ANT mixing bad and good things, NAZ definitely bad since Randle return...3 don't go in. Hope we play better in second.

Disappointing 1st half. 62-61 Pels. Of course we were up by 14 early. Where is the ball movement? What happened? Back to hero ball. The bench is 4 of 14. Jaden and Rudy have 7 pts combined. The ball isn't coming to them.
A typical Wolves effort.
The good days never seem to last very long with the Wolves. Maybe my ripping them will bring out their best in the second half. Who knows?

At 4:28 3qtr - there is two guys on Ant and NAW was wide open. Make the F* pass Ant! That is why I would trade Ant for Luka.

Are we looking at a 2pt loss again? Is Zion still on minute restrictions?

After 3 qtr : Zion 11 for 14 and NOP 50%+ from 3s

We are a well coached team, yet for whatever reason teams just get lucky against us. They can't miss.

So disappointing. Does Finch control what the players do? I'm not seeing any evidence of that. Where is the ball movement. Gobert and McD haven't shown up. Maybe because the ball doesn't come to them?
If we lose this.....I'm so sick of this chit against bad teams.

Clark is still the best defender on Zion. Should say the only defender on Zion

Clark is Superman. NAW is trying to do too much.
