Horrible offensive game for Wolves bench. NAW, Naz and Divicenzo.

Seriously i want Lebron and Luka taking 40 shots each. It's clear to me our role players have collectively crapped the bed.

Exactly, removing a possession is worth one point (and I guess Rudy gets in foul trouble). Save it for saving 2 or 3 points.

I love Reaves, but Reaves and Hayes both need to come off the bench next game, JJ needs to see that this Is not there series.

Wolves defensive strategy is foul like hell and hope the refs don’t call them all

When is ANT gonna take over this game man. You can't keep relying on roleplayers to bail you out. This is the kind of game you have to step up.

What do you guys think is more impressive: LeBron what he’s doing now at 40 or TB12 winning a SB at age 45?
Praying for Burrow

ESPN going wild over the challenge and Doris Burke at this point probably sitting there with a LBJ Lakers Jersey on.

Why did Hayes even start? Ceremonial or superstition is my guess

Wolves offense looks horrible right now. Just jacking up threes. Let's get position in the post Randle and cook those boys.

What is going on? Both teams playing with playoff intensity but also somehow in preseason form.

We are up because of Lebron and Luka.
AR has been such a dissapointment.

He’s playing like Jokic when he gets passive. You’re the star player. Start doing something
