For something that virtually everybody noticed 5 months ago... it's only fitting that it's the primary reason why the Wolves lost the series.
- Forget about hero ball.
- Forget about all the Towns hate.
- The Russell disappearance.
- The end-of-game collapses.
The team couldn't rebound. We knew that it would be especially bad vs. Memphis in this series. The trade-off was supposed to be three point shooting. And it was (at times).
But when it mattered, the Grizzlies were a lot closer in three pointers than the Wolves were in rebounds.
[Note: Tyus Jones made as many three pointers in this series as Towns. And he made more than Malik Beasley. But at least we got to follow the team celebrate Beasley's in-season record for three pointers made awhile back like it was some sort of meaningful "record." :sick: ]
We rebounded well enough to gain massive leads in the 4th quarter of 3 games we lost. The problem became taking our foot off the gas and ridiculous shot selection down the stretch. We should have won this series in 5 or 6 games if not for immaturity at crunch time.

Having Westbrook and KAT on the same team would be franchise suicide.

I'm not advocating for it... but could it be worse than Isaiah Rider and Christian Laettner or Ricky Davis and Rashad McCants?
Those were only crippling... not quite suicide-inducing.

I'm not sure you were trying to make a really strong case against the Westbrook Towns pairing but I think you did it. Congratulations.

Hahaha right. Any gm that trades for Westbrook should also resign at the same press conference lol.
