Just get it down to 10 at halftime, this is still winnable. Hit some damn shots!

This is a HC who obviously didn’t prepare his team or anticipate the changes the Lakers would make. They are pressing and we are acting like we don’t know how to handle it.

This is where I miss Towns or KD. When nothing is happening, we need another guy that could iso. We seems to get stuck like the 4qtr Bucks game

We have no intensity in any phase of the game. We are playing like we just want to fly home already.

Over his bull, wolves should be up there with Thunder and Cleveland with a better head coach!

Giving up 34 in Q1 is terrible. But scoring 15 on 28% is inexcusable. So many missed layups, open 3s, and worst of all, so much standing around on offense.

We do not play well at all. No defense, poor shooting. Rudy is totally awful, they have no big but he is just totally dominated by each player on the floor.

Well we aren't playing well but the refs aren't taking any chances with this one.

Fat slob Doncic just throws his body into guys and gets bailed out every single time, hooking and pushing off the whole way.
Vanderbilt fouls every single time down the floor.

Gonna take a 3rd quarter vs Memphis type explosion to pull this one out.

They are smartly exploiting our lack of ballhandling by pressing up hard every possession and Finch did us no favors by taking Mike out after only 4 minutes.

First quarter was hopefully as bad as we can possibly play. Start chipping away at the lead. Win the other 3 quarters by at least 7 points each.

lakers got double the foul calls in game one, they might get triple in this one the way it is going.

Those Refs are just a joke ! We win the first playing against 8 guys on the ground. Tonight Refs will make sure Lakers win by putting out some of our players as soon as they can.
