Re: Game 34: Wolves vs Pistons 6:00 PM CT
This might be the worst defense I've seen from the Wolves in quite a while. Guys just aren't moving on defense giving wide open 3s and easy drives every possession. If the Pistons do miss, the Wolves are often unable to get the rebound.

Re: Game 34: Wolves vs Pistons 6:00 PM CT
Can the current group play the final 12 minutes? I don't think the Wolves can afford to put Mike, Jaden, or Rudy back in the game. The team is really missing Minott right now.

Re: Game 34: Wolves vs Pistons 6:00 PM CT
Playing no defense seems to be the direction tonight. ANT will score 50, Randle 20 and we will see the opponent score 125... hopefully we score 130....

Ant can score 80 pts and they won't win the game. It seems to me doesn't matter what they do, they are still coming up short.

The fact that Finch has somehow decided to keep giving Randle minutes at the expense of Rudy should be a fireable offense.

51pt 2rb 1ast isn’t a stat line to be happy about. At least not for me

Third straight game where turnovers have been the biggest reason for losing the game.

Whoever said the Wolves don’t need a PG, (Klomp among others,) care to revise?

Have you watched how badly Rudy was playing. I don’t think he is allergic to rebounding, but he sure as **** was acting like it.

If you’re going to keep Ant as the number 1 then guys like Rudy, Randle, etc are going to have to go. Of course it can’t just be all athletes without IQ but that’s the way the team needs to trend.
Crazy how one trade just completely rocked the team. Curious to know what Connelly is thinking when he watches this team.
It wasn't one trade. We just had a guy that was patching leaks.

Re: Game 34: Wolves vs Pistons 6:00 PM CT
This game maybe the straw that break the camel's back. I don't know if they can come back from it. You shot 50%-50%-90% can't win and Ant is not happy because he didn't get his. Ant score 50+ and can't win because they play no defense. After winning 3 in row against the Texas teams, you figure we found something but we just can't get above water.

It was losing all our PG depth and not fixing anything in free agency. It was Jingles and Garza instead of a backup PG and a backup C.

Well Ant got his wish. Got to be scorer, do very little playmaking, and watch his team lose accordingly.

In terms of the poor play you can definitely point to the trade as being the main issue. You can add in losing Kyle if you want but the trade completely disrupted the chemistry and vibe of the team. You can even feel it in the fan base at the games while watching.
The team was by no means perfect, we all know that. But chemistry in team sports goes a long way.

TNT and ESPN are about to flex all of our games off their schedule and they are right to do it. This is not an entertaining team.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.
