Another Oboard given up and we’re dead as a fish in a frying pan.

So many asinine TO’s the T’Wolves committed today.

DLo had a really satisfying 4th quarter stretch at least. KAT was playing like a dick head when we needed him most though.

I thought Ant looked kinda dejected when he saw they were gonna run that horns set for that KAT 3 late in the game.

Man, why can't we have nice things like a 6 game streak? It was right there, a super-depleted team, ready for the picking, and we crapped it up. We could have been sitting nice in the standings by Monday depending how things shook out the next couple of days. Sadness.

KAT makes one 3, yet he keeps shooting them. He shot three more 3's today than the most he's he's shot all year.

The game's he's hitting 3's he doesn't take many, but if he can't hit the broad side of a barn then he keeps jacking them up.

As any real Alpha dog should. We all knew, even the KAT dick s**kers knew, Ant was the only reliable scorer tonight. But Chris **** Finch can’t get out of his own way and develop Ant like Memphis did Ja.


Memphis was BETTER last year without Ja. But long term knowledge says developers the killer, so later on, the killer becomes unstoppable. Sure we may lose more in the short term letting Ant play more ball dominant like Ja, but long term, he will become unstoppable and much more refined in his drives, his vision, his decision making. Additionally, come playoff time, when things get tighter and you need someone to make something happen. All that in season preparation of being ball dominant and learning to create and score when the team needs it most sure does come in handy. Isn’t that what Ja did to us?

Didn't watch the game.. Seem like McDaniels and towns didn't shoot the ball too well. Is dlo banned from shooting more than 16x a game now. I know the offense goes through Towns and Edwards. But when dlo's efficient, let him shoot 20x for a change. Things might have been diff if towns shot less tonight.

I'm butthurt over this one. I wanted to own that NBA-leading streak! I wanted that momentum. I wanted 7+ wins. Bah.

Exceptionally pathetic that Minnesota choked this game away.

The problem is Ant’s face and body language. Imo he is not happy with this situation..

If they don’t find some way to make Ant the face of the team, Chris and Tim better look for new houses.

100% agree. Ant is the present and must be the future of this team.

I’m sorry, but if Anthony Edwards can’t handle the fact that he already leads the team in FGA (by 3 attempts, despite Towns being objectively more efficient), then that’s a him problem. I would suggest that if he wants to be the “face”, maybe he should stop moping and learn how to play defense at a grade school level.
