Game 55: Bucks (28-24) @ Wolves (30-24)

[moss_is_1]

This team is infuriating.

[Domejandro]

Clutch ANT..... need a 2 and try a 3. Hope he learn one day.

Don't care about "clutch time" stats, the dude is legitimately one of the biggest net-negatives in the NBA when the game is on the line. Just a disaster almost every single time.

[Dalvin]

Ant really doesn't do overtime

[winforlose]

Now can we fire Finch. The man cannot manage end of game if his entire’s families life depends on it. Naz is the hot hand, Ant is the cold hand, by all means let Ant miss another 3 in a 2 point game. They didn’t even call timeout to advance the ball.

[Loaf_of_bread]

Ant 6-16 fg 2 pt, and 4-17 3pt. He lost us this game.

**** me, I hate myself.

It 4:18 **** AM in Europe and I have to work in 3 hours and I'm staying for this **** ****. Never again, catch me on the weekends maybe

I'm the dumbest person in the world tonight and STILL NOT AS DUMB AS THIS **** TEAM!!!!

Edwards went for FOUR 2-for-1s and did not make a single one. HOW DO YOU GO FOR A 2-FOR-1 ON A GAME WINNING POSSESSION????!!!!! HOW???!!!

You're 10-43 from 3, you have 56pts in the paint, you're 10-32 from the floor, you have 2 timeouts remaining and THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS TWO **** CONTESTED STEP-BACK SHOTS YOU HAVEN'T MADE ALL NIGHT?

How do you AS A COACH stand there and watch this and not call a timeout the second he starts dancing on the perimeter?

How do you 2 possessions before make a perfect play driving to the basket, collapsing the defense and finding NAZ wide open in the corner, get the lead and the final two possessions are this bull? Did I mention this is the EXACT SAME COPY-PASTE way they lost to MEM TWICE and then Washington and Sacramento? COPY-PASTE!!!

We can talk about effort and defense and shooting and the refs and every thing under the sun, but the fundamental PROBLEM of this team is their IQ. They have NONE OF IT. None. Zero.

Did I mention Bucks were playing without their two best players? Two players who together average 60pts?

Two months of hard work and climbing to get out of a hole, to get a little bit of respectability, to get a little bit of excitement back to this fanbase and you ruin it in one **** night.

I'm done. **** me I'm done.

Today this is on ANT and also on the bench not contributing except TSJ. Rudy was great, except a costly TO... not enough effort. Tomorrow we may be destroyed by OKC...

[FrenchMinnyFan]

I can add poor coaching but this happen almost all season...

[Nick K]

Rudy had a good night but turned the ball over with 15 seconds left that turned into the 2 Lopez FT's. Who know, we score on that possession, take the lead and it's a different game. Turnovers late have killed this team all year.

I miss Towns. Without Towns this team doesn't offer much interest for me. We have gone from a big 3 to a big 1 1/2. We aren't that fun to watch either. We are very inconsistent. Shoot ourselves in the foot late constantly. I see Towns put up his 4th 40 pt game of the season tonight.

[ILC]

And the last thing I'll say before going to bed. I've lost a lot of respect for Finch tonight.

I loved him and defended him, but after tonight... Meh

Wonderful job building the culture, wonderful job making this a winning team. But tonight they played a clip of him before the game (will post the link below) speaking directly to the team through the media saying these games matter, pressure matters, you'll be kicking yourself at the end of the season if you don't take it seriously. Perfect sentiment. All season that has been a problem.

Game starts and they have 3 straight TOs on 3 straight possessions, just dumb plays. He doesn't call a timeout once. Ant continues taking the dumbest shots possible all game and you don't stomp onto the court ONCE to light up his ass? Weak.

As much as this was nut-crunching time for the players, it was even more for him because one thing you can't let your team do as a coach - consistently not take you seriously and show the same mental problems all season.

If I'm his coach I'm risking a sack, I'm risking a permanent rift with my best player tonight for his actions on the court and words off of it after. This is unacceptable. This shtick of his of always laughing it off, being lackadaisical, ahahhaha-easy-going-guy is OFF. Nobody buys it anymore. It was cute when he was a baby in the NBA, you're a leader and a grown man now. Act like it or in 2-3 years we will be talking about him as another James Harden.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Ask Mike to retire and give him Finch job, he will do much better.

He's been looking tired in pressers all year. He's not the same. Got to be hard on his end to come up with excuses after loses when our players are more talented than the opposing players, and we lose.

I'd also lose confidence in myself if I was in Finch's shoes..

Finch is soft. There are ways of displaying dominance amoungst nba players making much more money than the coach, but Finch get walked over by ANT. Been going on all year. Guy should have been fired a month ago.

[Klomp]

He's been looking tired in pressers all year. He's not the same.

This is something I definitely agree with.

[TimberKat]

I didn't watch the game but read the box scores and read all the comments here. We loss to a Bucks team without Dame and Giannis

It must been 4 or 5 times already this year that we loss the game on an Ant 3pt shoot? Still haven't learned and he will never learn. It feels like Ant just want to play his way off the team. I am leaning more and more towards we will miss the play-in given how all the other teams had added pieces. If that happens, we will fire Finch once the draft and trades are settled this off season. It is too bad we sign Finch to an extension this year

[shrink]

I missed the game. Who do we demand to be fired?

[Rookie-Mistake]

This was a group effort....

ANT not understanding there is better to do than go for a 3 just show he is not mature enough.
ANT is a great player, he will be a top 5-10 surely. He got talents, physical gift, he work hard. What is missing currently is IQ. To go to next level, he will need to improve the way he read and understand the game. He is young, i give him the benefit of doubt at that stage.

Usual suspects. Though I have started asking if Dilly should be starting and playing 35 MPG in Iowa? We don’t run an offense and even when Dilly is on the floor we don’t really have a competent PG.

[thinktank]

ANT IS SO DUMB.

GO TO THE RIM.

Has Ant never watched Jordan close a **** game?
