    It’s hard to feel good about the “fight” they showed at this point in the season. They need to pickup wins. I think the only quality opponent they beat is Memphis. They need to stack up wins after digging a hole by losing to OKC and San Antonio multiple times.

  2. Lol we’re gonna miss the playoffs aren’t we

  3. don’t know what to say at this point

    just a miserable season

  4. Darkwulf3

    Ant with some crazy toughness, wonder if he’s doubtful for tomorrow though…

  5. LivinForThaCity

    Chris Finch needs to be fired. We continue to be out coached late in games and it was a problem last year too. We are a ā€œdumbā€ team because we are poorly coached. We are playing pickup basketball while other teams are running systems.

  6. YvesSa1nt

    Once more, fuck those Bucks fans booing. Can’t imagine doing that to any opposing player (even Doofus Bricks).

    I’m REALLY sick of losing.

  7. OPUnknown

    79-40 bucks rebounding advantage. The Naz hype was cool and all but this is why we he can’t start. He is too small vs actual nba bigs and not backups.

    Believe it or not basketball is not all about offense.

  8. twinsguy1

    The Wolves aren’t even playing that poorly. Mostly just playing shorthanded against good teams.

  9. frodo_sucks

    Brutal season so far. Glad Ant is ok. Giannis is good.

  10. Gyroflex

    that rebounding difference is just shocking. The third quarter meltdowns happened, yet again. I didnt expect to win this game but man we definitely had a good chance and couldnt pull it together. But for the love of god beat detroit tomorrow

  11. Another tight L without KAT. My patience is being tested but surely we a fix a couple things maybe add a couple of pieces and those Ls turn into Ws.

  12. TomAto7171

    Tough loss, need to rebound better, and it’s not just because Rudy is out. None of the guards or Jaden box out and that makes a massive difference against a big team like the bucks. Thank god ant is ok, we really can’t afford another injury rn.

  13. nukezwei

    Gobert, Towns, Prince, ~~Anderson~~, McLaughlin out. When we get healthy there may be hope.

  14. steveworldtouring

    How much of a pay cut is DLo taking next year. Geez he was clanking them off the side of the rim tonight. It’s frustrating how inconsistent his shooting is

  15. Paulie4star

    I’m taking a page out of my mom’s book. I want everyone to say one nice thing about the Wolves.

  16. PlayInChampions

    I have been watching this game for 10 years and genuinely never seen a team get twice more boards than the opponents. This season it happened twice with the Wolves – today and against the Grizzlies. Giannis is a monster but we might have had a chance if Milwaukee had not shot 11/17 from 3 in the second half, absolutely insane. Half of these shots were nicely contested too. Wish our team can shoot like this in the game they are cold from 3 (Bucks were 3/22 in the first half lol).

    Also, f Wisconsin fans for booing Ant, dude NEVER bait fouls let alone simulate an injury (and what for? He already got free throws). We are coming for you on Sunday, FTP.

  17. gOPHER3727

    Ant had only 1 assist, but I’m pretty sure we missed about a dozen open looks off his passes.

  18. mr_purrfect

    What’s the point of having a big, bouncy guy like Nate Knight (6’8″, 253 lbs) if you’re not even going to play him? Two nights in a row now the team has needed more size and Finch has stayed with small lineups.

    Having Knight play only 4 minutes while getting out rebounded 68-36 this game is just a bad coaching decision. Cut him and get someone else if you’re aren’t going to play him in these scenarios.

    To quote Jim Peterson “it’s egregious”.

  19. Sam7sung

    I just hope Ant is okay. We need him tomorrow if we want to break the losing streak

  20. First we blamed KAT.

    Then we blamed Gobert.

    Then we blamed Finch.

    Time to accept its the organization from top to bottom. Front office for absolutely miscalculation the fit of this roster, players for not having some essential NBA skills like boxing out and rebounding, coaching staff for not creating a scheme that could accommodate the players we do have. This is a collective, multi-level botch job. We had deep playoff run aspirations and we on a path to be fighting for our lives to make the play in.

  21. placated

    This game flipped a switch in my brain. Anyone who thinks we don’t need to fully make the Gobert thing work after watching that game needs to sit the F down.

  22. tie_myshoe

    Lol I still can’t believe Naz thought driving at Lopez and Giannis was a great idea.

  23. Sugarking45

    I don’t understand firing finch. Yea, this team makes dumb decisions but most of that comes down to being young and not having the right personnel because of injuries

  24. C4pital_S7eez

    Matt Ryan playing 17 minutes and Wendell Moore playing exactly 0 minutes

    What the fuck is that

  25. I can’t imagine watching this, seeing us get out rebounded 2:1, and thinking we don’t need Gobert.

  26. Rich-Information-793

    Bucks just grab 68 rebounds in a game and that’s most by a team since 2018.That was historically display of giving ridiculous amount defense rebounds.

  27. At least Bryn Forbes didnt play. Little wins

  28. cowboy2223

    On a night when we get crushed rebounding people are still acting like gobert is the problem!! I think this team will be fine in the long run. Ant becoming one of the best guards in the nba defensively and offensively!!
