“A” little run.

He has let them go on multiple runs throughout the series.

He has been massively outcoached.

Damn, I really thought we would win this game, I was pretty confident. That said, didn't get the help we needed from Dlo, and Towns didn't score enough either. Ant was amazing, Jaden was a King. Jmac was damn good.

Finch is going to have to put in some serious work in the lab, this team needs some offensive plays to close out games, the free-flowing thing isn't working, we can't get Towns the ball in good spots, Ant doesn't attack enough, Dlo when he is in, takes too many bad shots, it needs to be reworked. We will come back smarter and improved next season.

This was a fun series. We had an AWESOME season, some devastating losses here in this series but that's why we are the 7 seed. We got a lot to learn, we got a ways to go but we are on the path. I'm not holding my head down and crying. The Grizzlies were better when it counted. Best season I have had in my adult life as a fan! Thank you Wolves, come back better next year! Congrats to Memphis, they are some damn ballers!

We probably shouldn’t have signed Finch for so long.
That better be Dlo’s last time wearing a wolves jersey ever!!

The Wolves lost this series due to incredibly poor offensive decision making in the 4th quarters and terrible defensive rebounding. If Gupta doesn't fix the roster to address the rebounding issue this offseason, he doesn't deserve to be GM.

Also, DLO's extension offer has to be falling like a rock. At this point, even $20M/year seems pretty questionable. I mean getting replaced by Jordan McLaughlin to close game 6 of a playoff series doesn't bode well for his next contract.

This is the Anthony Edwards' origin story into becoming the GOAT. Look at the pain on his face, he will never be the same. Grizzlies games are going to be LIT next season, maybe this is the start of a rivalry?

Go get those knees right ant. We killin’ em next year.

We played w/ house money. ANT is an all-NBA caliber talent. Life is currently good as a Wolves fan.

17/18 is questionable and I don’t want him on this team, he has no heart or desire to win playoff games!!

Naw, Finch is fine. He is going to make adjustments, we are going to have some different players on the squad. Don't despair, wolves are going to come back better. This is just the beginning my friend.

Interviewing Morant they asked what allows you to make the huge 4th quarter comebacks again and again. Easy answer. The Timberwolves choking.

I never want to see D'angelo Russell in a Timberwolves uniform again

I hate being a sports fan in this state. Our teams don't just lose, they lose spectatacularly.
All that rebounding talk from FInch and he runs out the same small lineup in the 4th quarter.
Definitely some rookie coaching moments in this series, but you can't fix stupid as a coach.
What are you supposed to do when your best players chuck bad 30 footers 5 seconds into the shot clock down 4 inside of 2 minutes.

Warriors going to kill the Grizz though if Steph stays healthy, they just don't have enough offensive firepower and veteran players will be able to key in on Ja much better.

If the team learns one thing from this disaster of a series, it should be that iso hero ball is not a winning strategy.

The front office lesson has to be that size and defensive rebounding matter.

Just watch Bane and Clarke will go back to being average role players against the warriors.

This.
He looked very sheepish as well..
Trade him as an expiring.. if that upsets kat then he can go as well.
This is ANTs team.
