Playoff game 2 Wolves at Denver 4-19-2023

[_AIJ_]

F you kat!

Dare I say, Wolves can still take this to a 6-7 game series. ANT is healthy, Murray cannot stay that hot.

Murray is really the GOAT.

I so loved Murray in that draft. He was right there for the taking. Thibs

Fitting way to end. Turn over.

I liked Murray too, I'm pretty sure he was angling to come here as well but nope, who did we take? Dunn? We Dunn goofed super hard. Murray was playing at a high level even before college, I saw him play on the Canadian national team and that is when I knew I wanted to draft him.

Really good to see Ant explode. Murray was just too big tonight though and KAT was not nearly good enough. We have seen some success though, maybe we can put it together for game 3 and get a win at home. Can't get down 20 points out of the gate.

Not good enough????

He scored 10 points. 10. Ten. Ten **** points.


If all he offers is scoring and that’s all he scores, not good enough is putting it extremely lightly.

Why Kat refuses to shoot the 3 is beyond me. He's 2 for 5. He should take 10 3's a game. Especially when he's in foul trouble.

Ant today surely must have set the record for most number of points scored in playoffs by a Timberwolves player right ?

We may take 1 at home but I don't think we have any answers for Jokic. Jaden would have been such a key in this series the way Murray is playing.

Ant is that guy, Kat is not.

The team absolutely needs to find a way to make Towns more effective. It's crazy that he has had everything taken away and we can't manage to get him any good looks. If they can get him to get an efficient 25-point game along with Ant playing like this we got a chance.

[Dalvin]

key takeaway from this game is didn't quit and made it a game. shows that nuggets are beatable

[bluethunder0005]

This was a game where Jaden would have been huge.

only KAT and Finch must know...it's so annoying. Infact the way KAT plays and the way we use him both are questionable...both Finch and KAT have some questions to answer

He's not going to jack up a lot of bad shots. That said the team does nothing to effectively get him open. If we could get him several good looks a game he would probably take them. He's not going to take contested threes all night. We need to scheme him getting several attempts.

This cannot be said enough. Once McDaniels punched that wall, the season left the station.

[guest81]

I would bring Kat off the bench next game. Just do something to chill him out

He's a 7 foot player that can shoot 40 percent from 3, why does he need people to get him clean looks? What does that even mean?

KAT is such a stupid defender.

Twice he fell for the slip screen by Gordon for an alley oop dunk. Malone knew it would work again and it did. That’s how dumb KAT is.

Honestly, Jokic hasn’t been the one really killing us. Murray and Porter have been doing real damage.

I honestly would rather give up the 2 from Jokic after working hard instead of 3s

If he has Gordan or someone in his face its a bad shot. With the two big setup, he doesn't have the speed advantage of getting open looks against slow centers anymore. He's now guarded by faster PF's who are sticking to him. He can't dribble and break an opponent down, he can step back but that's not high percentage. Denver has totally schemed out his ability to get easy open looks from 3. Now the wolves could try to scheme him some plays that could get him open looks but they don't, at least not well.

We come out and lay a dump for most of the first half. You can't expect to win playing half a game.
