I wonder if Finch will tinker with starting lineup...Conley has had some stinkers and is old. Problem has been that his possible replacements - NAW & Donte also haven't been shooting well but atleast Donte has been playing well defensively.

I'm not sure I buy that. Our best 3 point shooting game of the playoffs was the first game against the Lakers, I don't know why we'd be tighter against the Warriors.

I thought the Warriors were playing tough defense. We missed some open ones, but a lot of it was good defense. We also weren't making good decisions or having crisp ball movement. We need to be sharper all around.

I've choked often enough myself to recognize when someone else is doing it. There's just a vibe to it and we are exuding that vibe. It was apparent game 5 vs the Lakers and game one versus the warriors. I swear we have been choking, but we can certainly shake it off.

Eventually those shots will drop. My bigger issue is the rebounding and effort. A team as small as the Warriors should not have a +10 rebounding advantage over us, and they absolutely shouldn't be getting 18 offensive rebounds. Naz, Randle, and Jaden need to be better on the glass and the defensive intensity needs to be higher.

They won't start dropping until we are shooting them rather than throwing them towards the basket. Hopefully we will loosen up tonight.

It only makes sense that we take them apart tonight. Go Wolves!

8-0 start but since I need something to complain about why are their shots of downtown looking like third rate AI images

You need Rudy but he’s so frustrating omg

Nick K · Post #36 » by **Nick K** » Fri May 9, 2025 12:52 am

We've given up a lot of our lead by playing dumb, careless, hero ball. typical Wolves. This team is infuriating. They can't stand prosperity. Randle refuses to pass the ball. He just has to bull his way through 3 guys before bleeping it up. Basta!!

I feel like Wolves just reset back to begining of the season. Offense looked sluggish
