Karl-Anthony Towns in fifteen minutes.
5 Points
1 Rebound
0 Assists
2/3 Field Goal Attempts
0 Three Point Attempts
3 Fouls
2 Turnovers

You just can't that kind of performance from him, it is a team killer.

Honestly, other than the Karl-Anthony Towns offensive foul, I feel like these are legit. Minnesota is getting busted reaching during drives and jumping on pumpfakes. You can't do that if you are against a foul merchant, they will embellish into it.

Stupid careless fouls!

Why does the coaching staff always have us drive into a crowd and throw something up? Why don't we take the wide open 3 when it presents itself? Especially Kat and Ant.

Between the coaches who have let us down and bone head plays, fouls by the players, we don't look like the team we saw all year.

Ive supported Kat since day one but this stinkathon by him will hurt him for a long time.

Look at all the goodwill this team has destroyed almost overnight by these 3 maybe more dog games. I'm disgusted beyond belief. Gobert and Towns each have 3 fouls. Lets put Luka Garza in there.

The defense showed up in the first half but the terrible turnovers, fouls. and inability to produce offense are losing us this game. Just like we revamped and created this awesome defense, this off-season we need to totally revamp and find an executable offense. What we currently do is not cutting it at the highest level of competition.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Definitely darkness retreat for Towns this summer. Lock him in a dungeon works too.

My broken record - defense is fine. We need our offensive genius coach come up with some offense that actually can work.

Clean up the turnovers, turn up the defense and buckle up for the 2nd half. Let's see what they're made of. Backs against the wall

24 more minutes remaining of minnesota sports fan torture.

It would be great to extend the series, but another win or two might lessen the chance of drastic changes and getting rid of the 200+ million of 7 foot tall dead weight, and that will be more crippling long term than getting swept.

It’s crazy that we have to post up Ant on Jones instead of Kat against Washington.

That would just mean extend the torture for two more days.

Calinks, I'm not sure the coaches are putting us in the best position to succeed. What do you think?

Send gobert to the locker room if you want any chance of winning this game.
Atrocious.
You could se Ant just seething after that 2nd Gafford dunk.

Honestly, other than the Karl-Anthony Towns offensive foul, I feel like these are legit. Minnesota is getting busted reaching during drives and jumping on pumpfakes. You can't do that if you are against a foul merchant, they will embellish into it.


They are legit especially the reach-ins which will be called every time. Stupid! Why don't they learn?

WTF is Gobert doing setting a screen on Defense.
Take him out and send him home.
Embarrassing.

Not even Scott Foster looking to extend a series can save players this dumb.
