Lol

Kat’s volatility reminds me of Anakin Skywalker from SW ep3.

memphis deserves to win this series..they have all the tools to make it far. our team is full of low iq and soft players..towns and dlo included(for once, dlo has a better game and the team choked so bad)won't guaranteed dlo will have another good game like this. i think this game will kill all the timberwolves confidence and momentum. memphis in 5.

I don’t think Memphis has a shot Vs fully healthy golden state like we didn’t. I’ll root for them. Can’t do nothing but tip the cap to them, that’s an unimaginable win with those comebacks

21-0 run no timeouts by finch. Wtf

So in this series we've seen what might be the greatest win in Wolves history and now one of the most embarrassing. It's like the last 30 years wrapped up in three games. Let's get after 'em Saturday.

Still, Wolves in 6

It really is a shame KAT got those fouls he was playing such good defense in the first half

[Macwolf527]

I hope Sasha has the balls to move on from Towns. This offseason is probably when his value is going to be highest. I surely don't want to give him a supermax contract, so the only other option is to put together a blockbuster trade. Ideally, Russell would be shipped out as well. They collectively make too much money, but are too one-dimensional. In addition, they dimension they excel at which is offense, they can be stopped.

[Rookie-Mistake]

Just goes to show we don't need him.
Get a 5 million dollar rim protector and build around ANT.

The good part about these playoffs is to learn what your players are made of and if they should be a part of the team going forward. Kat for sure isn't,dlo probably isn't but I feel good about ant. Huge off-season coming up

How does kat shoot 4 total field goals, play 33 min, blow 2 20 pt leads and Ja/brooks shoot 9/32

Answer = KAT is weak, Playoffs aren’t for big men. (And KAT isn’t an exception to that), Coaching

[life_saver]

This was also a good learning experience for Finch. Curios to see how the team rebounds in G4. It's not easy to rebound from losses like these

[D1SGRUNTL3D]

Players with more shot attempts than KAT:

Jared Vanderbilt: 2-8

Anthony edwards: 6-13

Patrick Beverly 5-13

D’Angelo Russell 9-21

Jaden Mcdaniels 3-7

Naz Reid 1-5

Malik Beasley 4-12

And with Saturdays game going to be even bigger, I have zero faith kat will rise to the occasion. He's had all year to figure out how to be guarded by a small guy and still hasn't figured it out. His only success has come from the griz being dumb enough to think Adam's could guard him and they aren't going to play him the rest of the series. It's ant or bust at this point

Giannis would be dunking all over these dudes. KAT is just too limited when space gets taken away.

[D1SGRUNTL3D]

We seriously let a chance to go up 3-1 on the 2 seed. Saturday night 9PM tip?? Absolutely electric TC?? And we blew it

I’m off the ledge. If we win this it’s 2-2 back to Memphis and all pressure back to them not going to Minnesota for game 6


Lose Saturday and it’s over


Mods why the hell did we break off from game 1 game thread??? Aahhhh!!

21-0 run no timeouts by finch. Wtf

He was so bad this game, has he taken the blame for it yet?

[Calinks]

Was at the game. The atmosphere was incredible. Those first three quarters were amazing but you could feel the unease settling in. All of the fouling on both ends and then missed shots were a killer. Absolute credit goes to Memphis for hanging tough, Clarke was murderous, he was abusing the paint.

The same old Clippers defensive trick work wonders, KAT got completely shut down, can't drive because its an offensive foul or tough shot. Only real options are to pass quickly or take a jump shot. Vando is pretty much a nonfactor on offense the Grizzlies paid him little attention, which really hurt.

Brutal loss, the fans were gutted, people were pissed. Most of the game was this awesome positive experience but the end was just sad and depressing. This was a massive blow to the wolves fandom. Might be an ugly rest of the series and there will be a long summer of teaks and adjustments, something has to change because this style of defense has really busted our team. Seems we don't have a real counter.
