Naz Reid just got torched in transition by Alex Caruso.

It's such a handicap to not be able to get anything from your starting Big. He doesn't have to average 15 but getting him some regular 10-12 point games would be a big weapon.

Severe lack of BBIQ outside of Mike and missing SloMo. Those two guys maximized Rudy.

edit - and KAT too.

No one will be able to beat them... it's literally impossible.. the way their team is assembled and how they play..

Completely and thoroughly outclassed and out coached

Welp, I'm not seeing a lot of answers on our end against this Thunder team. Maybe they will pull out some new tricks but I don't think we have the poise to play as consistently high level as we would need to to overcome the talent disparity.

Julius Randle is killing us. He has no awareness on a basketball court.

These guys are beating us to every loose ball. They want it more. We're out of sync and shooting poorly again.

Gobert, Conley and Randle are totally worthless. Especially Gobert. The worst offensive big I've ever seen and I've been watching pro ball since the late 60's. You can't have 3 starters not show up.

Sam Presti should have won MVP

Denver came close and Denver wasn't even as good as they have been. I give a lot of credit to Jokic and that team has championship DNA.

I have completely given up on it. It’s a total waste, but it’s been multiple years now of failure. It’s bizarre that Karl-Anthony Towns is the only one who could figure it out.

It's something that would add another element to our team. Having someone to be able to consistently hit Rudy in the pick and roll. Mike had it some last year but he's been cooked this season. Donte is about the only one I've seen sporadically find Rudy at all on a lob. Getting a high IQ offensive stud that could use Rudy would be so nice.

No one carry the ball well except Mike in this team. Impossible to win a title when the only good ball handler is a 38 years old PG. Hope we sign and trade NAZ and NAW and get a PG and a big who can score and defend. NAZ can score but his defense is ..... actually he play no defense

. Anyway WCF is a great achievement, we still have few games to enjoy. Go Wolves!

Jaylen Clark is an extremely high IQ bb player.

Naw has underwhelmed all post-season other than 1 game.

We NEED to try something different, and Finch wants to be stubborn.

Now I've given up on this game.

Another blow-out..
Our bench is absolute rubbish

We were down 4 and making a run, Finch sit Jaden and Mike and we are down 17. That's a good job really!
