Minnesota is leaving a ton at the line.

I think it’s too quiet when they shoot. Right when they’re about to shoot, the crowd gets real quiet. Throwing them off I think

7 point lead feels like 15

This is brutal. If we can escape down 5 or less would be big we've played so bad.

They have completely shut Ant and Julius down. SGA getting his shots off at will. We are in big trouble.

Honestly, the reffing hasn't been a problem. Minnesota just cannot get rhythm offensively.

65-57 at halftime. 57 is a winnable offense, but not if we are giving up 130!

They had 50 FGAs to our 38. 5 more turnovers, 3 more rebounds.

Down 8 at the half. This is winnable. For you Chris Finch guys, let’s see what adjustments he makes to get Ant and Randle going?

We have to find a way to get Ant looks. 2 shots in a half. Ugh. And Randle has 1 FG and 4 TOs. If it weren’t for TSJ and NAW, we’d be dead in the water.

I have an idea … stop whining about Donte and start rolling in the worthless play of Ant and Randle!!!!

… 9 points combined and both destroyed on defense!!! So f’ing nauseating …

I look at like this, they’re actually playing well almost across the board. They’re making shots, getting loose balls, getting to the line, and our two stars aren’t playing well. However, they’re only up 8. If just one of our stars picked it up, it should open things up.

I think the wolves control their own destiny in this series, regardless of how good Okc is. Their success has been predicated by wolves lack of focus.

Randle and Ant have to wake up. If not we are done.

Why hasn't Finch come up with any adjustments to counter how they are defending Ant?!?

Biggest difference so far has been turnovers and rebounding...

If Ant shows up in the second half, we win.

I don’t know quite understand how Dort and Caruso can get up Imso far into the body of Ant and get him out of the game, but we can’t do the same thing with naw and McDaniels on sga? Is the fouls baiting?

Honestly speaking, Jaden is and naw are a bit more handsy and not very subtle with their swipes. They also don’t take the best angles consistently. Ant needs to sell a little more but I mentioned earlier that I don’t think his mentality will allow him to.

4 of our 5 starters have 15 points total. Can't win like that. 12 team turnovers. Way too many. Randle has 4.
