Winning games we are supposed to win - Wolves at Blazers GDT

[Q-is-here]

What an embarrassment. I blame Ant and Randle for not coming ready to play.

Man collective failure. This whole team is bad right now. F for everyone.

[Crazysauce]

Quit your bitching to the refs ant. Complaining about the refs when you don't even show up tonight is fucking pathetic. I am starting to loathe this team

[KiwiMatt]

This team reminds me more of the 22/23 Wolves than the 23/24 Wolves.

Losing games we shouldn’t. Players flaws standing out more than their strengths.

Randle is like our new version of DLO. Complete liability on defense and doesn’t contribute to winning basketball.

Hard team to support at the moment.

- The Wolves are an unserious team.

- The Blazers came into the game as the league's worst 1st quarter team... AND... 3rd quarter team. The Blazers outscored Minnesota by 11 in the 1st and 12 in the 3rd.

- The Blazers were shooting 30.2% on three pointers. They went 4 - 42 in the last game. They had the league's worst three point differential. They shot 18 - 30.

- The turnovers. The low intensity. The perimeter defense. The first play duck-in token play to Gobert that's always a failure. The laziness. Since I missed the Denver and Sac games... I've yet to see anything close to a good Wolves game this season. Remember, the Chicago game was just as bad as the last two... only hot shooting bailed them out in the end.

- As WildWolf noted... this season has some 2005 vibes.

- I know NBA players have ALL the power... but sticking with an 8-man rotation when the effort just isn't there is only empowering more laziness.

- I watch nearly every game. I'm going to give it a rest for awhile until the Wolves prove they're actually serious.

Start playing the youth. We were never going to win it all this year. Think about the future. Id rather be a 6 seed with Dillingham and Minott playing significant minutes all year than watching this crap.

Lot of frustration coming through on the board tonight. Is this just knee jerk reacting? Or is it perhaps deeper than that? Maybe the realization is coming to light that Ant isn't him. Maybe the big trade has hurt both teams. Maybe DDV isn't Reggie Miller reincarnated (not sure how anyone thought that). Maybe Randle is another dime a dozen scorer in this league who doesn't bring much else. Maybe our strength last year was the prowess of the twin tower alignment. Maybe Finch is having trouble communicating with this group.

Or maybe it's just growing pains and a temporary stretch of ineffectiveness.

For me, the NBA product is a big part of the problem. And when the game isn't appealing a struggling team can make it worse.

This team doesn't care about winning. They are weak, soft and pathetic.

[FNG]

Is Ant going to do anything tonight?

Oh, I'm pretty confident he will.

Nice -20, Superstar...I'm sure happy this is "Ant's team".

[Coolbreeze44]

If they don't win tonight, let Arod and Lore move the team wherever they want. Simply an embarrassment last night.
