Game 53 Trail Blazers (23-29) @ Wolves (29-23)

[ILC]

Please don't blow this, I can't handle another loss in a close game

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Rudy have been huge in second half. NAZ too. Go Wolves!

[TimberKat]

100-93 and 3:31 Togo. Just two more baskets and we will be in good shape.

I really wish Jaden would just go off and have a 30/10 game. He is 12/6 in the first half on only 7 shots. We need someone to step up. Naz also going 1-4 from deep in a game without Ant, DDV, Mike, and Julius is… inconvenient. Dilly playing his worst possible game is something far more… maddening. TSJ not taking advantage of his opportunity. Luka Garza… is what he is. Minott and Miller (who was apparently called back up,) are so far in Finch’s dog house they might as well set up shop in an outhouse.

Yes, we need that. It's really him and Naz needs to dictate the offense

There is your 30/10 from JMcD

[winforlose]

30 piece for MCD

I ****ing love this kid. I have been a huge MCD supporter, and he is paying off my faith in SPADES!!!!

Unwatchable now. Just seems like it comes down to coaching. Guys are just not playing adventagously..

Something has been off all year.. system is broken

Bump

[guest81]

Freaking Finch stated himself at the beginning of the season: "we have 8 guys of starting caliber".

I get it we are short handed tonight, but we just continue to under perform with the talent we have. This coaching staff needs an overhaul.

Bumping this too for no reason

[winforlose]

Best half of the season.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Never been so happy to be wrong! What a second half ! We play defense like dogs ! Great win !

[Loaf_of_bread]

DON’T YOU FUC**NG DARE GIVE THIS TO FINCH! Jingles and Garza did not deserve the run they got. This was not a scheme win, this was MCD, Naz, and Ru took over. Shout out to Clark and Dilly.

They played 8 and 13 minutes. Wasn't a big deal

[Nick K]

I hate to say it but Garza is playing himself off the team. Basta!

McD is killing it!! Is he finally getting it or is it just a hot streak? If this were only the real McD....do I dare believe it? Man he's been good these last few games.

This is the best team ball I've seen this year by our Wolves. Up by 9 2.5 minutes to go. Man, this is fun!The basketball we are playing late tonight is inspiring. We're playing the right way moving the ball. It's a sight to see. They are making it look easy. Why can't they do this every night.

Maybe with the "stars' out they have to share the ball. It's a thing of beauty.

Please oh please god let LoRod win this thing! I promise I'll be good!

[life_saver]

If you go by comments here, you'd think Wolves were losing badly against a scrub team...when in reality, a banged up team missing 3 starters and another key rotation player were playing against hottest team in the league who are 10-1 in last 11 games. We also had like 3 rookies playing...so things won't always be smooth.

[TimberKat]

OK, down 8 going into 4th. Not out of it yet. Need some hearts, guys, and balls to pull this one out.

We got all the body parts tonight. Never been a more exciting game over a 23-29 team than this one. One of the best win of the season.

[ILC]

Best win of the season? How many times have we said that since new year?

Said it a couple weeks ago, this team is really coming along. Things are clicking, they're finding that defensive gear more and more and just outworking the opposing teams.

Naz, NAW, Jaden all phenomenal. Rob and Rudy really improved in the 2nd half.

But Clark is a revelation man. Finding these kind of gems is what opens or keeps the competitive window open. A dude who's barely earning a minimum, who you'll now sign for 3-4 years for dirt cheap and he can easily play 25 minutes in a playoff game.

If Tim can find another one like him this summer for the 4/5 positions to then we're really cooking.

[Loaf_of_bread]

No way we win that game without rudy. He goes down for a month, season is over.
