TNT guys pointing out convincingly how often KAT had a smaller defender on him in the 4th and failed to seal him in or near the paint and demand the pass. Shaq just said KAT didn't want it. Devastating, and tough to argue with.

Barkley just reiterated Wilbon's point that we're a dumb team. Wilbon was talking about the punches, but Barkley was right that it also describes the way we played there down the stretch.
What a missed opportunity.

Ant shot 28% last year in the 4th Q in the playoffs, no showed tonight. He’s young but it’s a trend to at least put in the back of your mind
Interesting stat, Kek. I wasn’t aware of that. Yes, that’s something to have in the back of our minds. This franchise will go nowhere if that trend continues.

Entertaining game. Without McDaniels, any win is a bonus. Hopefully we play well on Friday.
BTW: these are the type of games we need ANT to learn from and get under his belt.
Exactly, Tim. Ant’s a very young player learning a lot of lessons. I think the Wolves might have missed Naz tonight more than they missed Jaden. Our defense was fine and Prince shot the ball well. We needed the offensive lift in the 4th that Naz could have given us. And how about our backup PG hitting at least one or two of his five shots?
Yeah, Jmac was awful once again. And Knight is just a disaster: -7 in 2 minutes?!? I guess Gobert's return keeps his ass on the bench.

Ya my buddy hates Ant because he lost him big money last year in the playoffs, so I hear that stat from him that he is not clutch all the time. Once again he is young but he needs to find a way to be efficient when the game goes really slow

In the Timberwolves past 3 playoff/play-in games:
- Blow 13 point 2nd half lead vs. Memphis
- Blow 13 point 4th quarter lead vs. Memphis
- Blow 13 point 2nd half lead vs. Los Angeles
The Wolves were outscored 106 - 62 in the 4th quarter/OT of those games.
[Note: Nobody knows our pain.]

And we still have no idea if a KAT/Rudy frontcourt could work any better!

As soon as the Wolves went up 15, I put in a moneyline bet on the Lakers.
It's crazy how that has worked 19 times.
