They still don't trust Rob Dillingham as a rookie backup PG.

The Nuggets were not a good team, they were playing a one-armed player in their starting lineup and they had no bench or perimeter shooting.

The TWolves were supposed to be better. I thought they were.

Disappears for very long stretches I find. Hard to call him top 10 player with these lapses.

ANT needs to lock in. He's really talented, but he gets down in himself at times.

Keep attacking the basket, no one is stopping him.

Ok? They took OKC to 7 games because they had the best player in the world.

None of the teams left are even taking 2 games off OKC. This season is over.

OKC starts making their 3s the moment the Wolves start doubling. Bad luck for Minny.

Yes, Jokic had a lot to do with it.

But I felt as a complete team the TWolves were stronger. There's still games to play in this series, but they need to to figure out this defense.
