OK start tied at 15. Spurs are playing all bench guys so we might be in trouble. :banghead:

Knowing the wolves this season this is a more dangerous game than the Pelicans. We have been so weak against weak competition plus its at home, plus its an afternoon game. Death recipe.

Really looks like we're trying to play the Thunder in the 9 vs 10 game.

I hate Finch, I said it. Someone needs to get the blame for the team always crapping the bed against the lotto teams.

I'm not a big critic of Finch but coming out disinterested against bad teams, poor rebounding, and bad turnovers aren't a good look and those 3 things are the reasons this team struggles every game. This should be a 20+ point win but this team is apparently incapable of it.

NAW is finally having a decent game. Good to see. Outside of Ant we're lacking good SG's.

I wonder if they have given up on Moore? I don't remember a 1st rd pick getting so little run.

Towns is a smart guy that knows quantum mechanics. He is defending the virtual player that randomly pops up in empty space. :noway:

I don't know how to view and read this game. Are we playing great offense or horrible on defense? Something just doesn't look right. Other teams feast on cupcakes but we choke on cupcakes. I supposed Wolves need bones.

I wait until the 8 min mark to be safe. Maybe just pull Ant an Towns first.

What is Finch doing man? It's a 30 point game. Get these guys out of the game.

Towns 22-8-8

Tre Jones actually got the triple double 23-12-10. Bring him home.

We are all singing that tune. Although Chris Dunn maybe a good option too.

Yeah, after going ..

5-5, 10-10, 15-15, 20-21 halfway, 25-25, 31-30 at All Star Break, 35-35, and 40-40

.. it sure feels like 41-41 is our destiny.

I sure hope not, because it will take 42-40 to get two chances in the Play-In, and we definitely feel like a team that needs two chances!
