PG gotta get it going

Powell need to play more in the 2nd half. PG looking iffy so far today.

This game is everything I've been afraid of with the play-in so far. Long scoring drought, blowing a lead, PG disappearing and Mook being borderline unplayable. I still stand by my opinion that Mook should have been traded at the deadline.

We’d be up by 15 right now if not for him.

We would be up more if we stopped missing every other FT.

Embarrassing. lol. Wow.

This has been a very typical Playoff P performance so far.

Good news. Powell didn’t pick up his 3rd foul.

PG, Jackson, and Morris need a gut check though.

Finch is going to go in and adjust to how the Clippers are defending Towns. Hopefully, Lue anticipates that and has something else planned that baffles Minny.

Expect the Clips to ramp up the energy in the 2nd half. Wolves don't have that switch.

We can't expect the calls in the 2nd half.

I know we're only down 2 but I am not optimistic in the slightest. It honestly looks like PG has regressed all the way back to the bubble, except we don't have Kawhi to step up and carry the team this time. I am also very scared of the Pels/Spurs if this is the PG we're getting. He needs to be the guy we paid $190 million for in the second half, because he is so far from that right now, it's not even funny.

13-19 from the line
2-10 for PG
-8 on the glass

We should be down by a ton right now....and yeah, I know Kat is 0-7 as well, but I'm feeling confident that Lue will make the proper adjustments.

Wouldn't mind seeing Amir over Mann tbh

down 2 at the half
key stats--

PG 2-10 FG
Rebs MIN 24 LAC 16

PG, Morris needs to play better in the second half and take better shots. I think we would've pulled away if we had Kennard playing. Hart wasn't that good while relieving Zu. These refs are ruining the flow of the game

Yep you can already tell this isn't the game for Mann.

Defense held up as long as it could

Unleash Coffey.

Probably no one wanted him and his contract without some incentive to take him

Yes!

Agreed, he seems scared to attack our there and we need the offense amir provides more than the defense T does.

I'd love to see the hooks ran with Jackson and PG/Norm screening with RoCo and Nico at each corner l.

Really spread the court

One thing that hurts the Wolves in the 2nd half is that their defense is setting up on our end of the court. I would think with a young team with limited playoff experience that you would want your D in front of you in the 4th.
