At least there is no reason for TC to hold back on anything…

Terrible game, but consistent with the Utah game.

Maybe if the players can’t play with effort they should not be in the NBA.

Team is really out of sync and the bottom of this rotation is brutal right now.

This might go down as one of Edwards worst games of the year

All of that said, the reffing was absolutely horrible in this game- Ant shot one FT, that's fucking nuts

The bench is god awful right now besides Naz and the Naz/Randle pairing has been terrible defensively lately.

Definitely need some more bench juice. The rare Ant foul trouble game makes it show.

But why are the Bulls even trading one of their guards? They are historically trade averse and the guards are playing pretty good.

Effort isnt what comes to mind for glaring issues. They are working hard on defense and really pushing pace. Maybe they are going too fast.

Ayo and Coby are expiring contracts.

The irony is a win would have moved the Wolves into 4th place. The loss only cements their place in the play-in. At least the Warriors lost, so the Wolves have a cushion atop the play-in blob.

I wonder if this four-game losing streak and decent into the play-in group will put Julius back in play? Just a few days ago I thought we were locked in with the top six guys, but four straight losses including two very winnable ones is tough to stomach.

You can't have TWO stars whose interest in the details of the game come and go and Connelly ain't trading Ant.

Maybe play Beringer and trade for a PG… desperately need to acquire starter level guard… might even be time to use either Randle/Naz to get that player. I’m tired of watching Bones and Mike suck. When Ant sucks, we have no one to pick him up

Ant with 20 points on 25 shots. Tough to win when he has a night like that. Julius with 5 turnovers. Rudy with only 5 shots, Jaden just 9 in 36 minutes.

They never should have just run it back as I've said since the summer, but they still have time to take a swing and try to salvage this season.
