Yeah the Dilly and Clark shine looked a little worn this game. Didnt help that no one shot well. Horrible loss.

At least Clark was in positions to make an impact. Not the same as Dilly. He has been so bad lately

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by the fall off we are witnessing with Dillingham. And Clark has got to make those little bunnies around the rim. Just inexcusable. Unlike Dillingham, he's an older rookie with an NBA body and in a good rhythm from all the time he played in Iowa.

I wanna believe in Shannon, but I need to see sustained success from these guys before banking on them as part of a playoff rotation next season and beyond.

I'd give Ant an F Kekgeek. It's OK to have an off shooting night, but then go figure out other ways to impact the game, get to the line, etc. 10 of 33 from the field with only 5 trips to the line and with a poor showing in the clutch yet again. This loss is squarely on him.

I will not push back on that

I’d give an F to Finch for having NAW instead of TSJ on the court down the stretch. We needed offense and TSJ had it tonight. Neither NAW nor anyone else other than TSJ was shooting well for the Wolves tonight. The most important thing a head coach does, and perhaps the only thing that matters, is decide who plays and when. In my view, Finch failed at that basic task.

Can’t argue that point.

Yeah, he seems to have had pretty down year from a coaching perspective.

Closing lineup (at least on offense):

C - Naz
PF - Jaden
SF - Shannon
SG - Ant
PG - NAW

Why not a lineup like that? Spread it the hell out and let Ant try to get to the basket with a 5-out set.

I think Ant is largely to blame for this loss, but it's hard to get to the bucket when you have two huge giants in Fumble Fingers Rudy and Brook Lopez in your way!
