    Offens has been horrendous since the All-Star break and clutch offense has been nonexistent for the past 2 months. Something has to change.

    Two games in a row where a buzzer beater comes back to haunt us.

    RIP 1 seed

  2. PointGodAsh

    Teams collective IQ is lower than the temperature

  4. Screaming_Eagle44

    Teamā€™s just too dumb man.

    Why do we not set up ANY plays for Towns? He obviously canā€™t just face up at the 3 point line just stop trying good god

  5. Crosso221

    Letā€™s waste 10 seconds of a possession down 3 and take a dunk, nice.

  7. StickySmokedRibs

    I mean we couldnā€™t at least try a fucking 3 to tie it?

  10. pollinium

    Can improve on just about everything in this game, but it’s also a Tyler Ford masterclass tbh

  11. HmongOGSmite

    Charles Barkley quote still stands.

    ā€œThis is a good dumb team.ā€

  12. MC_Ball_Peen_Hammer

    Terminally fucking stupid team and coaching staff.

  13. Chalupa1998

    So over the room temp bb iq of this team

  14. BealKage

    you have to shoot a 3 there bro what the hell šŸ˜­

  15. Watzp0ppin

    Low IQ plays at the end of the last two home games in regulation

  16. strawhatcommander

    Well that fucking blows. Shouldā€™ve won both those gamesā€¦ oh well onto Portland

  17. panimalcrossing

    Dumbest team in the league. We are going no where in the post season without a brain

  18. ButImNotAnAdvisor

    10sec to score a 2 on final possession when we needed a 3 smh

  19. MinnesotaHockey6

    We are terrible at end of game situations

  20. DMD612

    I think what hurts more is Wolves held the Clippers well below their ppg average of 117.5 points per game and they just could not capitalize on it. In other words, we couldnā€™t hit a shot to save our lives.

  21. NazRubio

    Just adding an Ant comment so he can get heat too for that 4th quarter

  22. shaiabich

    Finch and not calling timeouts, name a more popular duo.

  23. Morezingis

    8-7 at home after starting 12-1.Ā 

    Also here comes the monthly Thunder fans ā€œweā€™re the first seed for 12 hours!!ā€ post.Ā 

  24. hockeythug

    Too many stupid plays on a nightly/daily basis

  25. fiddlestyx_

    That 3 at the end of the third by Powell came up big. What a bummer of a game.

  27. Rapey_Keebler_Elves

    Can someone please explain to me why Kyle Anderson was in the game down 3 on that last possession.

  28. sil357

    Didnā€™t quite live up to our trash talking last meeting

  30. PlayInChampions

    0-38 on fastbreak points in 2 games is tough to overcome. Cant believe Kings and Clippers committed zero live ball turnovers that lead to open buckets.

    Last Wolves won at home against +0.500 team on Jan 14th (I dont count Dallas without Luka and Kyrie). Next home game against +0.500 team is on Mar 16th. So, 2 months without beating a good team at home. Yikes.

    Also, Clippers never lose clutch games. That game against Lakers was a fluke. If the game is tied, they win every single time. If you want to beat them, you gotta be up by 10 to have a chance.

  31. MaruhkTheApe

    This team is really not built to survive a bad game from Conley.

  32. ChbbyKttns

    Win or lose the goal for the rest of the season should be figuring out this teams offense. They need to figure it out before the playoffs

  33. AlligatorPoontang

    Why the fuck are both Rudy and Kyle in the game when we need a 3? Finch canā€™t even send the right personnel out there

  34. yourloudneighbor

    Fuck these last 2 games. 2 bench players that combine for 63 points including 13/16 from 3.

    Beat the shit out of Portland and go scorched earth on the road trip.

  35. nhthelegend

    Hard to win when Ant, Naz and Conley all disappear offensively. KAT had a couple buckets down the stretch but was also pretty bad.

  36. Formal_Junket_1585

    We really took 10 seconds to end up with a 2šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  38. SurlyWet

    With threes , when you know its coming, you get the unexpected guy open. Duh. Put Jaden or Naz in the corner for a skip pass. Finch, figure it out.

  39. Hammerhead34

    Finch had both Kyle and Rudy in on that last possession. I donā€™t know how you can possibly defend that decision.

  40. South_Ad_7488

    My tone has shifted from “I’m happy that we’re winning in blowouts and losing the close ones” to “this team better learn how to win in the clutch before the playoffs” over the span of 3 days

  41. HackWaters

    Why is Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert on the floor when we’re clearly looking for a 3? Why was Conley the one inbounding when we needed a 3 last game? The low IQ feels like it extends even beyond the players at times. And Ty Lue won the game on a really good out of timeout play. Lets do that here too sometimes. There are several things that need to be sharpened if we are expecting to get to the Western Conference Finals this year.

  42. shipwreck_oceanfloor

    This game was exhibit A of why we arenā€™t winning anything. Chis Finch moron coaching that was offensive to people who paid money to be there. Iā€™ll turn these losers on again in May. TRASH

  44. Jacque_Hass

    Finch really sucks ass on final possessionsā€¦ I mean like bold, double underline sucks

  45. We_Still-Alive44

    We are still a really good team but lets be honest now we are at best a second round team
    Too many problems

  46. We_Still-Alive44

    Games like this are why nobody takes us seriously in the playoffs
