Ant and Rudy are flat out embarrassing

If your offense is dictated by the performance one guy you're not a good offensive team.

That is a good point. Rudy's game has gone all downhill since the baby was born.

I thought the same thing. Thought the same thing in game 4. I wonder if he’s banged up. He’s not moving well at all.

He needs a breather. Monte Morris is capable of getting his own shot, don't need them both on the floor at the same time.

Towns has had risk injury, Conley is out. Reid has quick fouls and turnover. Anderson should not be playing, but here we are.

It is what it is. Ant can't buy a basket and we're losing. If he was playing like last game we'd be up about 6 points.

Monte has injury of shooting hand.

Kyle is such a freaking liability, play luka, we have zero flow offensively.

Rudy got 5 pts 4 rbd 1 block 2 assists… definitely not the reason why we are behind for me.

Anderson is such a scapegoat it is ridiculous. He's played better than several of our players.

Since Ant can’t feed Gobert when he’s open, he has to go against two defenders when Rudy sets a screen.

Next year he could be so much better, if he keeps listening to Conley.

I’m not sure I trust Gobert with the ball either.

Might need to take a chance on a young hustle guy (Luka, Minott

Without Mike , Rudy limitations on offense are more obvious !

We are playing two bigs and getting absolutely destroyed in paint points.
Gobert is absolutely useless on offense and might be our worst player tonight on defense.

He does not trust his teammates at all on that end and can't even get into a passing lane while he is overhelping or into any rebounding position whatsoever.

We should have challenged the first two of those charges, the guys were not set and were moving their feet.
The third one on KAT we would have lost. Huge play would have been an and-1 for Naz and 3rd foul on Gordon.

The only thing keeping us in this game is that Denver has not been great either.
But their offense is playing chess and ours is playing a really bad game of checkers.

Going to blame the series loss on the Conley injury, but whole team is bad right now.
We peaked in game two and we just have too many low BBIQ/poorly composed players to win a big series like this.
