Disaster start for both offensively. Difference is they're capitalizing on their Orebounding.

If someone's getting benched out of the Randle, Naz, Gobert trio I'm benching Rudy right now.

Because what's the **** point of having him out there like a sissy just gifting Orbs to opposing centers without a fight while not doing anything offensively? Why does he have to get bitchslapped every game before he starts trying and playing with force

Wouldn't blame Finch if he benches Dillingham rest of the game for that dumbass move.

PnR, force a switch, have a small guy defending Naz in the post, he dribbles into a contested 3 over Evan **** Mobley and airballs it ofc

Yeah, this one is done, going to bed.

They're literally forcing switches and trying to go at Mobley all game and he's humbling them every single time. Onto MIL Wednesday

Just finished the first quarter. How fitting that we follow the Super Bowl with the toilet bowl.

Head coach makes a huge difference.. Cleveland went and got someone way better than mediocre Finch.

+1 too busy in office today to watch. Just look at play by play and it seems this is not our best game :)

I just started to watch and I thought Wolves was playing OK down to the 5:30 mark where they were down 13-0. Just open shots were falling. The only thing is we have trouble getting easy shots - drive to the basket, get a foul, or turnover pts.

The only guy I see cutting is Clark and JMcD once a while. That is more the problem.

When shots are not falling and you are down 12 or 14 is very manageable. However, we seem to just make things worse for ourselves and let it slips to 22.
