I've seen three instances of Finch yelling at Naz to run back after shooting, which is problematic. Fortunately he got a block on the final one.

Beautiful finish by Jordan McLaughlin to end the quarter. This is a game where dumb decision making (fouls) by Towns is killing us.

3rd Quarters have been very unkind to us so far this season. Hopefully we get our sheet back together in the 4th.

If we want to be great we are going to have to make huge mental and physical toughness strides. Put bodies on people, box them out, and absolutely cut down on the really dumb mental mistakes. I was hoping the team would address Towns foul issues, they could blow our who operation up. We can't get go around making silly plays and taking ourselves out of games we have to be much more reliable.

Olynyk 5 steals and a block, 15 points on 6-10 shooting with 3 3s.
5 Freaking steals. WTF.

Rudy Gobert already has nineteen rebounds. He is just unbelievable.

Towns won't be getting those easy 3s again unless he plays C.

Referees are absolutely awful. It’s like they brought MLB umpires on the floor.

Minnesota's defense completely craters without Rudy Gobert.

Am I alone in thinking bench Ant for Nowell? Ant hasn’t been trying on defense and is cold on offense.

Olynyk was the guy Flip wanted the year they drafted Shabazz.

All right , let's put the hammer down boys!
