glad that we had a guy who won't be with the team next year take those two threes in the last 8 seconds.

especially since we were only down by two and have, on our side, the best scoring post player in the league. makes perfect sense then that napes should take a couple of futile deepies. yup.

frustrating loss. lots of comebacks-but could never get a key basket once they had a chance to get the lead.

That Napier shot would've been nice. Isolate Wiggins on the wing, drove, drew extra defenders, kick out, that's a shot you'd love to see go down. Pacers were hot all game.

Sarcasm missed. There are likely people here who are blaming Wiggins even though he did the right thing.

It was a good game. There were some misques down the stretch that hampered us. The Towns and Wiggins stepping out of bounds hurt.

It sucks to shoot really well and just get kinda out shot by a better team.

It's true this is a staunchly anti Wiggins board. He made the right play and normally Napier being so good in the last 10 games or so he'd be one of the top guys I'd pick to shoot that ball. Sometimes they don't go down though.

It wasn't good. That looked like the Towns of old playing the pick and roll defensively. Just got caught in no man's land in between.

Poor effort by Okogie getting over, Towns playing in no-man's land, no one tagged the roller, and your #1 overall, max franchise cornerstone standing in the corner watching because he can't lockdown a folding chair.

That dude was Culver’s cover whenever he was on the floor with him. Jim Pete was sucking off Culver saying how great he had been on him and then on the last play - why isn’t Culver on him. He was closer to him than Wiggins. Odd that you blame Wiggins when Culver couldn’t hit an open shot to save his own life in the 2nd half, Wiggins makes the play at the end of the game to give them an easy shot at a win and of course you blame him.

we are still being outrebounded. trailed in that dept by 10 for most of the game, closed the gap to a minus 5 by the end - but still, minus 5 rebounding differential in a 2 point loss. cov did alright with 10 - but kat, gorgs and KBD combine for eleven? - and of course, vonleh-bell-reid don't even see the floor. can't win if you don't have the ball. we remain one of the best teams in the nba for total rpg - and one of the worst at rebounding differential. this small ball sucks ass.

vonleh and bell rank 15th and 17th among wolves for mpg. kelan martin and jordan mclaughlin get more PT than those two FFS. for what it's worth, vonleh and bell rank 2nd and 3rd on the team behind KAT in rebounds per 36 (12) - and vonleh (55%) and bell (52%) are ranked 1 and 2 on the team for FG%. if i ever got stuck with gersson rosas in an elevator, i'd yell this into his ear until i was blue in the face.

No. Teague seemed well liked by everyone. Towns was ready to go a few games ago, caught that flu going around a misses a few more. Just coincidental he came back when Teague was traded.
