Wolves at Spurs GDT

[Crazysauce]

That's the shot? Disgusting loss.

[Leado01]

Arghh...not happy with that play design. Gotta get ANT or KAT going towards the basket

[60WinTim]

We are still a team that struggles to win without Daddy.

The buyout market can’t get here soon enough!!

Mike Conley for league MVP

[KiwiMatt]

I’m putting the loss on Finch tonight and his rotations. Jim Pete pointed it out too. And what was that last play? Of course they were gonna trap Ant!

Our 4th quarter starts are horrific when Ant sits. Kyle Anderson is big part of the problem as our offence sucks when he’s out there. I’d prefer Troy Brown play his minutes. I’ve seen enough of Kyle and now know why Memphis didn’t resign him. McLaughlin is a third string PG whose proved it time and time again yet we persist with him being our 2nd. Shake Milton can’t shake off the cob webs and is unplayable. KAT continues to struggle defending the perimeter where he shouldn’t really be anyways.

Need a to make a trade for a back up PG as soon as possible. We are relying our PG duties on a 36 year old ffs with no NBA quality back up.

Not sure why we keep going to Jmac. He's an end of the bench guy past, present, and future.

Gobert, Anderson, Milton and McLaughlin have shared the floor for 6.5 minutes in this game and lost those minutes 21 to 6


All you need to know why this game is finch fault. Who is supposed to score in that line up. I’m sorry but Kyle Anderson is a good rotational player but he’s not a fit for this team anymore.

How much more evidence to we need that this is not Ant's or KAT's team? It's clearly Mike Conley's team, with some nice complimentary parts. We've played without KAT or Ant in games this season (or had games where they played poorly), but still won. But when Mike sits out, we get games like last night. The Conley-less end of game offense is a disaster...incessant dribbling and poor shot selection. But the drop off in our defense is just as bad...our rotations just don't seem to be as effective when Mike is out.

We can only hope (and it's what I believe) that Mike's hamstring isn't really that bad, and that Finchie was just giving him a little extra rest before Monday's game against OkC...I thought he looked quick Thursday night against Brooklyn. But if he can't play Monday, the Thunder game could be a blowout. The Wolves are a talented, but immature, team...and they clearly need Daddy out there to play well.

If you lose to the Spurs with your four highest paid players on the floor, including your signature star (Edwards), you’re not a championship caliber term. It’s that simple. If you need your 36-year old PG to beat the Spurs, then forget about a trip the NBA finals and just hope you can make it to the second round. This team simply isn’t as good as many have come to believe based on the first half of the season. They are settling into the team they really are relative to the rest of the League.

We should enjoy to rest of the season but temper our expectations. It will be a tough off season for Wolves executives as the team faces the 2nd apron after a 4th or 5th place finish and second round exit.

The nuggets went 8-10 to close the season last year including losses to the taking Raptors, Spurs, Jazz and Rockets.

Who knows if the wolves recover from this recent poor stretch of play but to temper expectations I think is sort of dumb because every nba champion goes through these bad play parts of the season
