That's a season breaker right there. Really needed that one.

With no Dlo anymore, we need another scorer in the starting lineup. Conley seems to just doesn't have it anymore with his scoring.

I just don’t understand why Finch continues to play Anthony Edwards for full quarters. The dude gets fully gassed which leads to terrible turnovers and shots. I also don’t understand staggering Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert minutes mid-game.

Ant and KA really hurt us down the stretch. When will we ever value the basketball? The careless T.O.'s kill me.

The two usual suspects that you had the chance to trade were the biggest reasons why we lost this game

Ant has to do a better job of taking care of the ball...he has been sloppy. He also was ridiculously exhausted..I don't think it's a good idea from Finch to play him for entire quarters.

Alexander Walker should run the 2nd unit. Start Nowell over Anderson.

I really don't want to be fighting in the play in but that is where we are headed, we cannot lose a game like this. Too many bad losses like this are piling up. Will be extremely costly in this razor-thin conference.

Minnesota needs Karl-Anthony Towns back so badly.

Still don't understand why Finch didn't play NAW in 2nd half..he looked decent when he played in first half

they need him even more after the DLo trade...a Gobert-SloMo-Jaden-Ant-Conley starting lineup just doesn't have much scoring. Conley's scoring so far has been disappointing

Hope this one stings the entire break.

JFC Kyle Anderson. How many uncontested 3 foot bunnies could you miss?

What a craptacular way to go into the all star break.

Finch is really a terrible coach. His rotations are atrocious

At what point do we start looking at Finch as the problem? How do we continually blow 15+ leads over and over again?

Very frustrating loss.

This loss hurts. The careless plays, turnovers, missed bunnies. When will we ever clean that up?

We played so well early to piss this one away.
