Ant has no Robin (point guard)and that's why the Timberwolves won't win anything!!!! And Finch sucks he won't play Rocco he won't play Juan B. When we can't stop Nikola ?
I’m so sick of Randle, who’s going to stand up and help Ant?
Wolves need a true point guard! Sign Adam Dittmer and we'll be ok!
Randle isn’t why we lost we lost because we didn’t have a plan to deal with Jokic and Murray. We won in most statistical metrics bench points, pts in pants, 2nd chance points, fast break points, and points off turnovers, but we let Jokic and Murray to go off. We also let Jokic dominate us with playmaking and scorer which you can’t do you have to pick how your gonna let Jokic beat you and stay disciplined to it. Also we need to switch on Murray and not let him get hot from 3 make him beat you by driving. If Rudy was in game mode he was very impactful as Murray couldn’t do anything when he was on the floor but Rudy got into foul trouble. Then you got to stay disciplined off ball and not allow cuts and contest all 3s from role players. Easier said than done but we have to do that to beat the Nuggets.
Had we won, it would have been the other way classic meltdown by Denver. Games are runs, and both teams have two of the best players in the world things happen. Bad reffing aside, Denver had every opportunity to close it out in regulation, and we had every opportunity to close the door in overtime.
Yeah Randle almost deserves to be a dud after that ABYSMAL three he chucked up. What are you doing man
Divincenzo was trash cheeks
We missed the hell out of naw in this game
As much as I want a pg I really think this team needs another stout defensive big to play alongside either Randle or Reid to shore up the defensive side
Bad defense as usual. Cant let Joker get 55 and pretend thats acceptable.
Gotta force him in that mid game and not give him all those open threes and run his game from perimeter.
Super bad game the wolves were lucky to be in. 3 denver guys injured so it only gets worse.
Why can’t finch get this team to be disciplined in important moments. I don’t understand.
