DLo came in and we went away from edwards after that monster 3rd. Shades of last year, where they often went away from edwards come 4th quarter.

Shoot bad you give up lots of rebounds … however allowing “offensive” rebounds is an issue. We are lucky we were not blown out

I really hope Finch makes a big deal about their mental approach to the game. I really feel like the way this game started with all the commotion and KAT yelling set a terrible tone. We are going to take some bad losses but the way this one went down was really painful. Paramount to address our approach to the game. Hats off to the Pelcians for not backing down after it would have been easy for them to do som.

Truly awful performance by the wolves tonight.

Didn’t look good in two games against Pelicans. We just don’t match up well with them. Certainly no answer for Jonas.

If he’s on our team then there’s need to answer for him :wink:

good fight from the team...I thought they'd give up after going down by 20+ points in start of 3rd Quarter but it's hard to win a NBA match when you shoot 34% from floor...DLo shooting 3/14 from field is yikes...even Beasley was cold, shooting 1/8 from field.

That 3rd Quarter from Ant was so much fun..he really is a special talent.

This loss was on Finchy and Dlo.

I don't think those first Quarter KAT fouls had much to do with the match outcome tbh...team was missing open shots even before KAT got into foul trouble...KAT still ended up playing 40 mins..problem was DLo having another terrible shooting night alongside Beasley..they both were 4/22 from field.

Kat also killed us in the 4th. Sorry, but it's true. Finch needs the offense to run through Edwards. DLo and Kat need to understand that. Kat had some horribly bonehead plays

JV is a horrible match up for kat. Big enough to frustrate kat and he moves well enough to make kats drives difficult. He’s a good player

Ok seriously DLO…you’re making 30 million dollars a year. Stop sucking. JFC. See more life out of Jmac and Bev than you’ve shown all year. Combined they make a fraction as you do. Get your head out of your ass

I didn’t check the box and I turned it off without about 3 minutes left. Eye test, Dlo killed us. Beasley still sucks. Reid cannot guard legit centers. The refs will be lucky to make it home safe tonight the way they let them moving screen, battering ram, and otherwise abuse us. KAT collapsed in the fourth, and Prince made a case for being someone else’s problem. Ant sucked in the first half and came to life a little too late and stopped a little to soon. Finch needs to be willing to bench Dlo and run Beverly.

Couldn't have said it better.

-19 rebound differential

We should have lost both games against a Pels team that even with Zion is fighting for the play-in game. That’s where we’re at. A DLo and a bunch of picks for Simmons and a competent backup center would go a long long way towards solving our issues.

Need a legit rebound big man. Bismack, Demarcus?

I've been on the Aron Baynes bandwagon for awhile now, though i'm not even sure if he still looking for a job.

He's out for the year with the injury he suffered at the Olympics, apparently.

Otherwise I'd agree. Big bruiser who can play defense and reel in boards.

Absolutely devestating.

When we started to get close in the 3rd/4th, we continually gave the Pels second chance opportunities despite working really hard defensively and putting together a few stops. You just can't close a gap that big if you're going to give the leading team 2-3 chances to score every time down.
