This is the best I’ve ever seen Bane play.

It’s just one half

No defense tonight.... not sure it's the way against a god offensive team like the Grizz. We give so many open 3 when we have to shoot contested one.

Somebody proposed a trade of Bane for Ant. That looks very good right now especially Bane makes so much less. We could sign Randle to a max contract with that saving.

Julius is just not worth his contract.

Allowing 65% shooting PCT and 68% 3s is just horrible defense. We are lucky to be down 5. Could easily be down 20. Still in the game and barely above water playing this way

Seriously, a player shooting and hitting all six of his 3-point attempts, an adjustment has to be made. But with Finch...

Strong start for Minnesota this half, I really like that they are running sets to get Anthony Edwards off-ball. It’s a huge component of what made Dwayne Wade great offensively, creates way more cross-matchups and down-hill opportunities.

When we play defense, we are a much better team.

MIN starts the third quarter on a 26-2 run!

Will the Finch haters that blame him for MIL’s run give him credit for our own run against MEM?

Did Finch just call a timeout with Pippen laying on the ground? What a gentleman.

I don’t care if people love Finch or hate him, I just want them to use the same standards.
