WE BACK!! PLAYOFFS GAME 1 @ DENVER 4/16 9:30 CT

It's hard to feel good about this team because on any given night they look like this. It could be Denver, it could be the Trailblazers, we just look wholly incompetent, and play losing ball out of nowhere. We don't have consistency.

Barkley is right, what is the point of playing 2 7 footers together if you can't punish the other team with them.

Where is the horns action we've been running all year?
I guess we are playing the "give the ball to KAT and let him make stupid decisions" offense.

I normally hate the TNT crew, but Kenny Smith had a good segment on Jokic and how when he makes an action, he knows what the purpose is. We have no freaking clue.

Yea its a problem. Said it early in the season but we went big and got zero of the advantages, all the of the weaknesses. It's crazy. I don't know what Conelly was envisioning but we have hardly seen it this year. We rarely punish teams with our size yet we get exposed for being big a lot. Especially early in the year. You would think we would be crushing team on the glass and in the paint.

Calling plays helps players understand the point of their action.

4 fouls on Ant. That's game right there.

Well I knew we would get blown out at least once in this series.

We are long overdue for a big run.

this is a horrible offensive performance

Expected result, Denver is a horrific matchup for Minnesota. Is what it is, at least Minnesota isn’t in the Lottery.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised that if we get destroyed (by a team we are more talented then) that we blow it, fire Finch and trade KAT and Rudy and build around Ant. Do a 180 on big ball.

Yuck yuck yuck.

Someone was up way too late playing Call of Duty again it looks like.

younggunsmn · Post #134 » by **younggunsmn** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 4:27 am

I don't know why we don't just run a 2 man game and go right at jokic and murray every play.

Post #135 » by **Calinks** » Mon Apr 17, 2023 4:28 am

This is a nightmare game.

For the love of god, make a shot.

Get it under 10.

I just don’t see how Finch keeps his job this off-season.
Something tells me Lore is in big favor for Ime Udoka and other candidates.

You have one big run and you are back in it. How can we jumpstart this offense?

I like the idea of playing Nowell and Rivers. It's desperate and probably will be a disaster but maybe they can microwave and save the day
