Dude. He called like 2 timeouts in a span of 1 minute. What are you talking about?

We didn’t just miss a lot of three’s in the last 5 minutes, we missed a lot of open three’s.
They outscored us 13-2 in the last five minutes.

I am talking about at 2:25 when Caruso hit the 3 and we are down 104 -99 after a 8-0 Chicago run. A timeout should be call right there. It's must score time. Instead Conley turns the ball over to Caruso it becomes 106-99 wtih 2:03 left. It's basically almost game over at the point then Finch calls a timeout.

That was an awful last 5 minutes.
Their shooting was good and ours was non-existant.
Kudos to the Bulls for playing hard and Caruso and Dosunmu were great on defense, but we are a better team than this.
Would have been a 20 point loss without Rudy's offensive rebounding.
Teams are going to pack the paint against us in the playoffs to stop Rudy and Ant, our shooting has to be much better than this and someone other than Mike needs to be able to hit a shot.

That's why Towns is still an important piece. Hopefully he is back by the playoffs and he has his shooting touch.

You know, the Wolves gave up 109, which isn’t great (for us), but it’s certainly not an unreachable number offensively.
Hot shooting teams are going to win games. But even with that, we clearly had a chance to win this game. A half game out of 1st isn’t going to clinch us out of winning the West. We need to treat these last eight games like every minute is important.

I think Finchy might be using a little Grecian Formula in his hair! Is he getting less gray?

Shooting 3 was bad tonight except Mike. 6 on 28 cannot allowed team to win game. And we let them shooting 58% at 3 with many wide open….

Adding insult to injury, OKC beat NYC by 1 with a clutch shot from SGA. DEN also won. Not a good day for Wolves.

We will probably end 3 rd at west as I predict. But it’s not that important. All match up will be tough at that stage.

Jesus, what a brutal and ugly loss.
If we played this Bulls in a final series we would lose for sure. They are completely different team when they face us.

Glen Taylor was just quoted a day or two ago as saying Towns is ahead of schedule and will hopefully be back by Playoffs but I kind of feel like he was probably speaking out of turn with that one. Timberwolves staff seems to like to keep things quiet. TYowns was at the last game on the bench looking good.

I have to say, it was heart-warming for me to see him wearing the Rubio jersey.
