WCS Game 5: Minnesota at Denver, Tuesday

[KGdaBom]

Man did we need that NAW 3. The game was close to getting away from us. Kyle with the steal, but NAW throws it away.

Ant does not have the energy or belief tonight.
Terrible body language.

Jokic is a fake tough guy

[_AIJ_]

This guy just keeps getting away with that **** off arm

[Calinks]

These damn turnovers man. Just a killer. We need to add better ball handling to this squad.

Kyle Anderson minutes killed Minnesota again. Needed to do anything with Nikola Jokić out, but their offense was completely jammed up with him and Rudy Gobert out there.

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

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

Absolutely not. Respectfully, I am absolutely baffled at what you guys are watching if people agree with this. Plus-minus has been horrific the entire series, he is a turnover machine, he nukes Minnesota’s offensive spacing (making it impossible for Edwards to score), he gets killed on switch action, and isn’t doing a particularly good job defensively.

Genuinely baffled that people don’t recognize how brutal he has been.

RUDY GOBERT IS USELESS

[shrink]

I guess when SloMo started for Gobert in Game2?

[Guest84]

When’s the last time wolves got a foul call in their favor? Not counting that foul to give…

[KGdaBom]

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.

We really should have challenged that charge on NAZ. It could be the difference in the game.

Only down 6 and probably can't play worse

[jpatrick]

Ant does not have the energy or belief tonight.
Terrible body language.

He has to beat three guys to score and when he passes, outside of NAW, our team refuses to shoot. If McDaniels doesn’t shoot better, we are in some trouble.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Worries on TO without Mike are unfortunately real. ANT being so bad is another bad surprise. We only down by 6 so there is still hope specially if ANT can regroup. Go wolves!

[Calinks]

Denver is so good also in part because they know how to exploit everything. If nothing else this is incredible to watch, they have totally turned things around after getting smacked.

We need to execute in the second half. We have been so sloppy. Turnovers, missed free throws, passing up three point shots. We need to tighten it WAY up. We can win if we can accelerate our IQ on t he floor.

[minimus]

With Anderson, Morris, McDaniels, Gobert with have multiple non shooters on the floor. No wonder Ant gets doubled everytime he touches the ball.

[KGdaBom]

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

I see him defending, rebounding and assisting. IMO he's played well tonight. You see it differently.

11 turnovers is way too many. That's the difference so far. Jokic is unstoppable.

Kgdabomb likes Kyle for whatever reason.

Similar to watching the Duncan Spurs

I just posted the same msg on the MB. There should be at least two offensive foul on him for clearing space
