Warriors vs Timberwolves - Game 2

[wraith985]

This game is a freeroll. Figuring out what works should be the goal, and it seems like that's what Kerr is doing right now. It feels like there are more players that can reasonably play in this series as opposed to vs the Rockets, so that's good.

[Onus]

The real issue is Butler not being able to get his shot off and the fact that the defense is horrible. Curry being out shouldn't crater the defense.

The defense isn’t horrible. It’s really hard to guard the wolves when they play 5 out, but then the wolves defense craters.

[HiRez]

Not impressed with Minnesota. I think the Dubs can win this series.

If they just hit a few shots and stopped doing dumbass crap like hitting guys in the face and passing the ball into the backcourt, they would actually be in this game. Not saying they'd win, but all they had to do was not be dreadful to have a chance, unfortunately they were dreadful. There is not one guy on this team outside of Steph and Jimmy who is reliable. NOT ONE. Draymond negates so much of the good things he does because he is reliable — at unnecessarily hitting guys in the face (like at least a couple times in every game) and giving the other team free throws and free possessions.

There were a number of TOs that just were free fast breaks for the Timberwolves, remove some of those mistakes... maybe even wait for the player to cross half court before passing the ball to them, this game wouldn't be this big of a divide which would be crazy.

We just need to find someone that can open up the floor and hit a 3. Moody and post don’t look like they can play in this series. That leaves buddy, podz , maybe Knox?

Yea we’re not completely out of this game if we can find a way to score. Some of the turnovers were terrible which led to open 3s or offensive rebounding which led to more 3s.

3rd Quarter here we go! Time to win this!

I feel like the defense has been giving up good looks that TWolves aren't taking advantage of.

Hopefully they can turn up the entensity.

Good energy to start the half.

I'd sooner sacrifice a goat to attempt to get Moody his shot back than turn to Kevin Knox.

Read on Twitter

there are some bad defenders on this team and you cant hide them by playing 11 men...unfortunately if we want to steal a game we need to tighten the rotation. Low score game

[AirP.]

I agree with Kuminga starting the 2nd half and you know I'm not a fan of his, but for this game he seems to be the best option.

[DAWill1128]

Glad they are going Kuminga instead of Post. Our outside shooting sucks right now, we need to hope Jimmy, Dray, Kuminga can get some dribble drive mismatches and scrambles. Buddy is in and he's the only great shooter we can play.

Sacrifice that goat please

Turns out spotting the Wolves 13 points with that awful starting lineup doomed this game which was possible to win

[wraith985]

All the other series have had big comebacks from the underdog. Why not ours?!?!?!?!

[GQ Hot Dog]

When Kuminga makes his move, dudes need to cut so he has an outlet. I hate how everyone stands and watches when Kuminga attacks. It's too often the same when Jimmy makes his move.

[GQ Hot Dog]

Buddy's defense has left a lot to be desired tonight.

[cpower]

JK the hot hand. lets go!

Nice job making this a game
