Man, this whole season has been utterly disappointing. I won’t even get into Russell, but he’s gotta be one of the worst starters in the league.

We shouldve went all out to get myles turner instead of Gobert.. We would have both interior d and spacing.

Even if we make some stops but we don't have nearly enough shooting to get back into it

Obviously D’Angelo Russell is playing like the worst player in the NBA, but have no fear! If he puts things together like last year, he might return to being a mediocre starting Point-Guard!

These guys are going to get Finch fired. He was not Lore and Arods guy, his results and reputation made him secure but this unacceptable play keeps up they will get impatient. They want a winner and firing Finch is the easiest big move. Hes not their guy.Its crazy but its a real possibility if we keep having games like this.

ANT's body language is very alarming

even when he struggled previous years, he wasn't like this

Gobert isn’t even playing tonight. What in the world are you talking about?

I would agree but didn't he just get signed to a new extension under this regime? I would think he's more secure than if he was just on the same deal.

Starting off like a nightmare. Shouldn't be shocked because of normal Timberwolvves luck but my God, you have everything lined up on paper to have a good season, get one of the best defenders of all time, and somehow you look worse than you have in years? Just crazy, Timberwolves fans really don't get breaks do we? Be nice to just have one consistently positive run. Nope, got to have drama and disaster all the time. Ooof.

Don’t think it’s the coaches at this point. Players have a loser mentality and it’s showing. Coddled and told how great they are their whole life. They don’t give a **** about this

I think if things continue to look bad, he's the easiest fix they can try and make. He's not their guy they can feel good about firing him and getting someone they want. Firing Conely or trading Gobert or KAT or something is admitting they messed up, they would rather fire Finch and say he's the issue, not something they were behind.

It's one thing to lose games but to come out like this and get abused? Have your home fans booing? That's going to rankle a lot of people. Can't have many more games like this.

I hate our offense. I hate our defense more.

The FO should've known better.. We got one of the worst defensive backcourts in the league. After trading Patrick Beverly we shouldve look for a lock down defending guard. I suggested Kris Dunn but nah they signed Austin River who makes no impact at all. And we needed a good 2 way stretch 4 since towns can't play the 4 defensively. The FO messed up.

Ant just didn’t show up on offense. More turnovers than point for most of the first half just doesn’t work from your “best player.”

Our defense just isn’t coordinated at all. You see better teamwork at lifetime or the YMCA (I am not talking about leagues either, just pickup games.)

JMAC might a be good passer, but he isn’t a shooter. That creates a lot of doubles against everyone else. We need a legit backup PG. Dlo has 3 ASTs and 3 TOs. PG play is so important to this offense.

3s, turnovers, Ant no show, and bench power outage have really been story so far.

So far the front office has had some big misses. Rivers and Forbes in particular have brought nothing in games. Not looking good.
