I don't think the Wolves would have won against any other team in the NBA with their performance tonight.

Don't quite understand why fans think we are any good. Denver packed it in before the game started. Dal was also depleted.

We are underachieving and unfortunately just bad.

Ugly win. Except Rudy, NAZ and ROB, all others players were beyond bad tonight. Not hitting shoot, TO the ball a lot...at least defense was okay. . lucky Atlanta was playing without Trae... but a win is a win. We will have to play much better against Phoenix.

I can't even go Arrooo.

Outside of Ant and Naz, Rudy, I see not much I like.

Give me Luca, Dilly, Naz and Ant and TSJr when healthy. Just to see something different.

The Kat trade was such a disaster. The whole league is laughing at us.

Did anyone see if NAW’s injury was contact or non contact?

Non contact. Calf, ankle most likely. I hope it's not achilles.

Jack Borman called it lower leg, which makes me fear Achilles. That’s why I was hoping it was contact. Very concerned for him :(

NAW moving around in the locker room, and told Miller he is okay. Looks like he avoided the worst.

We got back to back game coming up. I hope he can play on Thursday. I wonder if the Jazz will continue resting guys or try to beat us.

If NAW out, DDV out and a B2B, Hope Finch stop to be so stubborn and give time to the bench.

Finch can shove it.

These kinds of performances have been consistent ever since Finch was hired. The only time they weren't was when Pat Bev was here, and even then only when he was on the court. He's had literal years to address this and can't.
