Sometimes it feels like you can hear the struggle of Chris Fisher deciding between what he knows he should say versus what he sees happening.

George is way too passive on offense late in games.

This loss feels more meaningful than just a single regular season loss.

Wiggins goes for 40-10-4.

Dude has woefully lived up to the hype his entire short career, but he seems to find a way, much more often than not, to live up to at least 90% of it when he plays us.

Wtf defense was that and why is Schroeder in the game in a defensive possession ever. Pg not the best game, noel got hurt and westbrook had a good game until the last few seconds .

prior misses do not influence future makes or vice versa. case in point- westbrook's threes.

two below average games from PG13 and we are not able to win against bad teams. We need scoring. Russ did a good job second half though (even if last possession was bad)

At this point we should give Schroeder's minutes to Felton.

So rebounding and Schröder an issue, but I’ve got serious issues

1 - Wiggins should have been ejected. Melo was ejected for FAR less at Portland.
2 - OKC fouled a decent amount, but Minnesota was helped out a by a GENEROUS whistle.
3 - if Royce is correct and Minnesota players were laughing when Noel was down, then that are some sorry bastards. Screw them.

I’m not a bash the refs type person, but that was sickening. If Minnesota players were laughing, then I can’t even begin to describe how awful they are. A gigsntic bunch of low life trash garbage ****.
