Absolutely, but most of the players step across before it hits on every shot. Am I the only one who thinks that the high fives after free throws are a cover for the shooter crossing the line too early? Look at towns? He's always across before the ball hits rim

Not just poor coaching decisions, but multiple players playing with their hands around their neck. At the end of the day you just have to throw up your hands and attribute it to a culture of losing. Tanking and losing begets more losing and tanking, It's a vicious cycle which is why those of you cheering on the losses have mis-placed hopes in my opinion. Have we learned nothing in 30 years!?
This team could use a serious injection of toughness and attitude. Unfortunately, the last time we tried that our two young "stars" curled up into the fetal position because they couldn't handle it. Not sure what the answer is at this point as no system, coaching regime, or front office seems to be able to make a hill-of-beans worth of difference.
Did you hear the news? If you don't have FSN, you can now watch the wolves on Comedy Central.
Seriously rosas? This guys an absolute joke. Just like towns, he sounds great and says all the right things, but it's just talk.

These guys are good!
If Ryan Saunders had any pride he'd resign
Ryan said its hindsight 20/20 pulling your starters up 7 with 1:39 to go
Reading this late... not sure why people keep saying up by 7 with 139 left. They made 2 free throws to bring it from 14 to 12 with 139 left. Not arguing anything, but 12 is a little closer to acceptable
I had no problem taking out the starters with that sort of lead with that much time left.
If anybody is upset about that... I hope they also weren't ever upset about Thibs playing guys deep into the 4th quarter of "blowout" games. You can't have it both ways.
I saw that was the worst blown lead with 3 minutes left since 1996. Teams up 17 or more with less than 3 minutes left have won 3846 straight times. Blaming Ryan for taking the players out is ridiculous.
Errors by the Wolves players, missed free throws and unreal shooting by Sacramento along with help from the refs made that happen for the first time.
That's on me. Apparently I can't do simple math. 117-104 dosen't equal 7 it equals 13. Im a Dummy. Still think it was dumb to pull the starters when we were on a 9 game losing streak. But it is less ridiculous.
