This was a painful loss. Damn! Too much foul called on us that we were scared to defend down the stretch while Memphis was reaching and poking and pushing at every turn.

Poor executions down the stretch and ant miss two bunnies from point blank range that was huge misses.

We will get better with this experience but its still damn sucks to fuckin lose a winnable game being scared to defend and unable to execute.

I really havent piled on DLo all year but this playoffs have shown his limitations. Our system gives us a good pace but DLo plays slow. If one major move happens it should be around him. He's really shit the bed this series.

It's because the Wolves can't get a board. Stop blaming the refs for everything


This. We're definitely missing a 2nd big that can board in crunch time. Refs were bad too

Terrible shot selection down the stretch. The Grizz were going to the basket and were jacking up ill-advised 3's.


I'll channel Charles Barkley and say that this Wolves team is perhaps the dumbest team I've ever seen. I think Finch is a smart guy, so I'm not inclined to blame our head coach. It's the players. As much as we need a true big to improve our rebounding and interior defense, we probably have a more urgent need to add more higher IQ players to the rotation. I'll cut Ant some slack as a 20 year old 2nd year player, but he and the rest of our rotation players need to play a lot smarter than what we've seen from them in this series.

Dumb play aside, we needed more than 1 rebound from Edwards and more than 2 rebounds and 12 points from DLO.

Yes I know we pile on d D-loser because hatred is all he posts but Russell has played bad 90% of the time for like 30 games now.


Lol ummm yeah ant was bad in the 4th quarter too. Towns was great, not on him

It's telling that Finch decided to play McLaughlin so deep into the 4th. He's like our 10th most talented player yet he's the one guy that rarely makes mental errors.
