This loss is very disappointing. Should have won even with the poor performance overall.
Jimmy's 4 misses shots in a row, 3 of which were really poor looks. Jimmy's great but one on one iso is not his best look. Hats off to Atlanta for closing in on the obvious play.

We needed this win too with a schedule loss tomorrow. It will only be a matter of time before OKC snags that 4th seed from us.

No ball movement? The Wolves? What a shock!
Yes but it gets especially bad in crunch time on the road. I can't ever see an ideal game plan where iso for one player for 8 straight possessions is a go too. Even that horrible pass by Teague was him trying to force feed butler. Today was bad no doubt.
Would have liked to see wiggins and towns get a couple of chances late in the game. This is jimmy's team now no doubt but a few variety down the stretch is good for the team.
Yeah, I don't get the iso stuff from Thibs. Even if the ultimate play is designed for a guy like Butler, can we at least run some initial action to get him set up? Sometimes the defense breaks down with the early movement and a back door cutter gets free. Clear out after clear out is just so stagnant.

Yeah exactly. There's a reason that Teague turnover on the inbound was well defended. Butler needs some better action because the straight one on one is not working with a good defender.
We just have to start playing like we have unique offensive talent on this team. There is no doubt Butler is our best player, but KAT is our most unique on offense just explore a bit more of him in crunch time. He was 3-4 in the fourth all in the first 6mins.
