Should be up 10 lucky to be down 1. Offense is putrid right now.

Please stop trying to pass it to Gobert 8 feet from the basket. The Wolves have at least 3 bad turnovers trying to pass it Rudy in spots he has no chance to do anything.

Is Edwards allowed to shoot FTs? Should be AND1’s.

We played better after he fouled out last game.

It's going to be tough to win if the Wolves continue to shoot 19% on wide open 3s.

I wish our offense spent more time this season trying to get Towns some good looks at three. He should be taking and making way more but he can barely get open for one. Drive game is gone because he is getting baited on every drive with charges and then he is just plain missing a lot of shots. Cant get his hooks to drop or anything.

Finch needs to gameplan some stuff next season, we need plays to get guys some good looks, the team cannot do it themselves all game, they don't have the chemistry and flow for that. They need a lot of helping to get some good looks.

We also missed a few open 3s. I have no idea what we were running at near the end of 2qtr. At least we are close. Team looks like out of energy. We need to set some picks for Towns. What ever happened to the Towns/Gobert pick and roll?

Let's hope Denver stays cold all game. If they start hitting shots we will get blown out, we can't produce anything right now.

A free throw differential of 17 to 4 is pretty ridiculous. There was very clearly not that big a differential in contact between the Nuggets and the Wolves in the first half.

Ant needs help. They need to stop complaining about calls. Post Kat and Ant with the purpose of drawing the double and kicking out a little. Nuggets have shown they’re bringing help so far so guys need to be ready to shoot.

Finch may need to expand the bench just a bit to get guys a quick rest.

Ball movement needs to be better.

But, if we get blown out, will Minnot and WMJ get in the game? Will Finchy let them get some playoff minutes?

Ant has to tread lightly cause we don’t want a Scott Foster vs Ant career trajectory like with CP3

When the Nuggets double team Ant 30 feet from the basket Finch needs to run plays to get KAT open shots.

Ant has been clearly fouled a half dozen times with no call.
