Game 9: Timberwolves at Grizzlies, 8 pm

[Lucamilo23]

This team sucks. Rebound the **** ball. Why do I continue to watch my sports. They shouldn’t be paid any money to putting out a garbage team like this.

[Calinks]

So yea the weirdest thing to me is we don't run anything on offense in the 4th. I don't know what the deal is but it is strange. Don't know if that is a Finch thing or what. Besides that, we desperately need a big, Gupta needs to get on the phone and try to make something happen. Finch has to open the playbook and instill some stuff cause the dribbling, iso is not working for us at all. No creativity, no confidence. It's very bad and I don't know why it is that way. We are so easy to shut down at the end of games.

Honestly pretty sure Ryan coached offense better than this

[life_saver]

I am so tired of this team blowing leads...this time they blew a 16 point lead with under 7 minutes to go. Feels like Wolves have a horrible record in close games

[Nick K]

I'm troubled by the coaching of our offensive scheme.

I'm troubled more by our rebounding inside. Memphis supplied the effort and just went and got it.

[Neeva]

I’m not sure how to fix this. Rebounding bad. Offense been bad. We play way to much one on one. Bad ball movement.

Schedule is going to get way more difficult than it’s been.

Team has a few nice pieces but is horribly constructed by Rosas! This is a lottery team that needs luck again for Chet time.

[King Malta]

I love this basketball team so much, yet they make me so **** sad.

Dubs, Lakers and Clips coming up all away. We're in serious trouble.

[Merc_Porto]

So frustrating. Just how?
16 pts lead. Ugh

[D1SGRUNTL3D]

Pathetic

Keeping it real, Ryan Saunders pretty clearly did before Rosas forced him to run heavily motion oriented sets. Regardless, I don't think this is a Coach Finch issue, this is largely a talent issue. Minnesota kind of sucks, in large part because they have drafted the wrong player every single season since Karl-Anthony Towns' draft.

All of this after beating Milwaukee on the road. We had easy ass home games. But we’re in the inevitable 5 game early season losing streak. It’ll probably be 10 here soon.

Blow it up.

We've just got so few guys who have more than one marketable skill on either side of the ball, and it's currently exposing us offensively at the moment. DLo and Edwards are the only guys really capable of creating shots for themselves or others consistently, and they both have issues with efficiency. If one or both of them go cold, we're in trouble.

KAT is so dynamic but it's much easier for teams to make the lives of big guys difficult as they can double-team them in the post and deny them the ball, as they do so consistently with KAT at the moment.

I hate iso ball so much

[Folklore]

Naz should have been on the floor.

[WolfAddict]

Meh, the losses are hurting less, which means I'm in the ole TWolves funk I know so well - They're just inevitable at this point

[jpatrick]

As much as a player like Simmons that makes every better would help this team, zero chance I trade for him now. We are too bad of a team to move draft picks. Can’t do it. I also don’t trust Towns not to ask out if things don’t immediately click with Simmons.

It’s early but sure seems like we’re going to be praying for lotto luck again.

Personally, I wanted to trade for him because I thought this was a play-in team that he could push over the hill into being a 4-6 seed.

From what we're seeing so far, we're in pretty significant danger of being a team that handily misses even the play-in, and at that point mortgaging our future for Ben makes very little sense.

[IceManBK1]

Timberwolves choked very bad this game.. Horrible execution down the stretch in the 4th and OT. Seem like they only have one big man out there who can reb. Dlo had a good shooting game from 3. But has become horrible at finishing his layups. Edwards at times should just pass the ball back out instead of trying to score 1 against 3. Beasley been trash. Other than dlo, towns, and Edwards we have no one else capable of dropping 20 pts in a daily basis. This team just suck at rebing. Playoffs hopes are looking dim.

[Nick K]

How can we look so good 1 minute and so bad the next?

I haven't missed many games since day 1 and I'm kind of getting close to my breaking point. It's early but in my wildest imagine I didn't see this coming. I'll be better tomorrow....hopefully.

Not one guy on this team improved over the summer. Not one bleepin guy!

I thought for sure we'd see guys take their game up a level. McD is my biggest disappointment. Followed by Okogie, J mac, Vando, Prince and Beasley and even Nowell.

Lastly, I thought I'd never say this but Finch deserves blame too. They play a style of basketball with few set plays. For the most part we don't have the supporting cast for it.

We are a team walking east looking for a sunset.

Bleep!
