Well damn. Ant killed us tonight and we have to address our inability to get buckets for stretches. Been an issue all year. The front office has work to do. At least this game exposes that some more.

It's unfortunate that Ant had to have his worst offensive game of the season tonight.

I can appreciate their effort. They played hard and that’s all you can ask

Yawn, this was so predictable. Might not even watch the next game. This league and team are both just not worth it.

It hurts so much because once again we had it. We had this game in hand but we just keep finding ways to mess it up. No juice in the 4th.

If it wasn’t for the injury I think he would’ve applied more pressure. But that’s how it goes at times smh

Was letting KAT go off in the first half. Wasn’t being aggressive enough going to the rack. Then got hurt and completely stopped trying to pass the 3pt line.
Played hard on D

Being honest, I think Coach Finch needs to show a bit of courage and bench Anthony Edwards at the end there. I appreciate Ant-Man’s effort, but he’s clearly playing injured. Not good.

They played hard. With Ant injured, they are just outmanned and are now gassed.

He (Finch) didn’t exactly help by running iso for 5/6 of the 4th quarter. Wasted quarter.

Fair or not refs will reward the aggressor.

Twolves playing timid ball.


Except when we're the aggressor.

Not watching the next play in game.
Just too much torture watching this team.
