Most are watching NCAA final 4 or MEM at DEN. But this one is still important and a must win.

Quit playing with your food Wolves.

Sloppy offense looks like a pickup game.

To lose this would probably be most embarrasing loss ever.
To call the Sixers a G-League team is being kind.

Get up 30 points Wolves.

Wolves playing with food again, 44-40.

I hope they got the match script right. Body chop, down for two count, lift head up, Powerbomb, two count again, wait, reverse flip pin down, three count, good guy win!

Reason why this game is even close is because Randle and Jaden are both playing like ****

I don't know if I can follow this team next year if Julius Randle is still on it.

Thank goodness Rudy showed up tonight.
Team deserves an asschewing at halftime.

Randle missed a couple interior pass to Gobert. Good thing Rudy looks like he is on triple dose Viagra - 10RB and 11 pt in the half.

Shooting is an issue tonight specially at 3. Stupid TO but this is more common. Lucky Rudy take care of the business. Double Double in 15 min.

This is embarrassing. Just go up by 15 and 76er would wave the white flag. Now need to grind it out in the 4th.

Ant and Gobert are playing well. Randle isn't bad from stat line. We are shooting 28% from 3s. I don't know who else needs to step up but we looked tired.

I heard in a podcast that MIN has been in the most close games in the NBA, and isn’t great in them (19-25).

The podcaster pointed out when a team is in a close game, the outcome has a far greater likelihood of being decided by random chance, and the Timberwolves should have a better record than they do.

This type of game is who we are against bad opponents.

We are supposed to give Naz a new contract this summer? He really sucked today.

Rudy is the most professional guy on this team.

He’s averaged 17 RPG the last 5 games, and has already reached that mark tonight.

I just finished the 3rd quarter. Can anyone make the case this team is well coached? Please, I would love to hear you explain it based on what I am watching and how we continue to play down to opponents who are not even playing 5 NBA players in their rotation.

We just might lose to a G League team. This team is so disappointing. Schizophrenic.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
