Watching this one at Target Center tonight. Hope to see a Twolves Win and a good effort from Curry and Wiggins.

Our team like GSW plays after awful performances. They should both be hungry. Will be a good test . Go Wolves!

Dubs are short, we match up good against them. If we don't play like crap, it's an easy win.

We are on a 15min rim fix delay and Gobert, Ant, and KA been chatting all these times. They really like each other.

Cold as Ice. Every shot is difficult. Good thing we get an early Finch timeout

Wolves aren't creating shots for each other.

Team seems broken. Less than 30 games of Randle and the team is a total mess. No chemistry. Hard to watch...

Wolves defense is so good they even stop themselves from scoring. Are we going to get 75 pts tonight?

Something is off and I think the starting lineup needs an adjustment.

I'd try to start Minott and Garza over Randle and Rudy. It can't be much worse.

What exactly is Conley doing also? 0 points 2 assists? Start Donte or Dillingham.

I'm not sure about this team anymore. Let's see if it's the same old or they come out a different team second half. What they are doing isn't working.

Bball IQ on this team is just so low. DDV hits a rhythm 3 and doesn't touch the basketball anymore. Randle runs in transition, has DDV wide open in the strong side corner he doesn't pass it to him, but inside.

I never feel anyone is getting in rhythm here. There is no real purpose to the offense.

We don't have the personnel to do it. Ant can only create for himself. Conley can't run every play when the lanes are so clogged.. Jaden can't. Julius can't and won't. Gobert can't.

So who's gonna do it?

I am way behind this one. I am about to finish the first half. Anyone who sees this spacing will understand how the lack of offensive structure kills a team. Especially when their best shooters are not connecting. This half was a dumpster fire, and coaching is a big part. Also, if you were ever going to say **** set rotations and get Minott, or TSJ, or even Garza in, this was the time. The players are bad tonight, sloppy tonight, lazy tonight, ect…, but this half is an indictment of Chris Finch. Especially when you consider this is the first game after getting punked by KAT and NYK.

Lack of spacing needs to be mitigated by running out in transition EVERY SINGLE TIME. There is no excuse for a team with this many athletes to be in the bottom 10 in transition metrics.

Run on misses, run on makes and you will get many more better looks. That alone easily pushes you up 10pts in O efficiency

Remember when we used to be the best team in the west and everyone was chasing us? Feels like a lifetime ago watching this team.
