Game 57: Minnesota at Houston, 8:30 pm (The stretch run begins)

[winforlose]

We need a game that ANT wins it for us. He's well overdue.

Scoring 49 isn’t good enough? Or do you mean a buzzer beater walk off win?

He's unreliable in the clutch, and unfortunately knows that his touch around the rim isn't that great.

This game is looking like it may come down to the last minute, where edwards has struggled all year.

Not quite sure of the statement "49 isn't good enough"

Ant scored 49 recently, you said we were overdue for Ant to win us a game. I asked is scoring 49 not enough to qualify, or are you only talking about a clutch performance or walkoff shot specifically?

We WIN this particular game based on an effort from ANT that we wouldn't have won if he wasn’t on our team.

TSJ just did the dumbest thing possible and set the Rockets up beautifully to end the quarter. Very low IQ basketball.

[TimberKat]

We just can't end the Qtr well. With a couple minutes left we start to force every shot turn a 2pt deficit into 8.

First Shannon touches an over and back giving them a free possession which turns into a Rockets 3. Then Shannon blows a coverage and gives up another open 3 the next play. These are the growing pains.

Or is it we just draft low BBIQ players? Maybe we have a low BBIQ culture. If you practice with a bunch of low BBIQ players, you will pickup the same habits too.

[Klomp]

I continue to believe, when you put McDaniels, Alexander-Walker and Clark on the court with ANY two players, good things happen.

I hear you. That said, I do not agree. Rookies make rookie mistakes. TSJ has done smart things in other games, but this is that 1/1/1 finch talked about. For everyone one good game you get a bad game and an average/bad game from a rookie. TSJ seems to be in category 3 but he had a very category 2 end of the 3rd quarter.

Jaden is untouchable. Also, a pf against 85% of teams.

[TimberKat]

It's been a painful game. You keep hoping Wolves can pull this one out but it just feels like they we will get blown away any minute. It's like walking on egg shells

[Domejandro]

Minnesota is really missing Rudy Gobert tonight.

[TimberKat]

Ant is bad in clutch now a days. Didn't block out Sengun

[TimberKat]

At least Finch is using his time outs wisely today. He been saving them all year for this game.

[Klomp]

I understand the mindset, but too much hero ball from Ant...especially when exhausted

[Folklore]

Ant is an idiot.

[Folklore]

And so is Finch

[wolves_89]

WAY too many Ant shots when he was obviously gassed. Also way too many Jaden 3s, especially when he was scoring great in the mid range. Those two thing basically cost the Wolves the game.

Nothing "wise" about that challenge.

[winforlose]

As good as Jaden has been, he lost this one tonight. He is dominating from 2 but is overdoing it from deep. A few weeks back Jaden talked about not wanting to shoot more than 4 3s per game. Now he is shooting 7 or 8. Just drive the damn ball.

[Calinks]

Just a terrible team in the clutch.
