Timberwolves vs. Pelicans GDT 7 PM start

[LwnmwrMan222]

Here comes some off balance Ant 3 and the game is over

[weimy froob]

choke city. Ant misses a drive to the basket. Naz couldn't have been more wide open for that three. then they can't get the rebound. whatever will be will be for this team.

[feekdogg]

Clurch time=Suck time

[boxter432]

Missed free throws. Dumb threes. GFY. Pelicans are straight trash even with Zion.

[LwnmwrMan222]

Why is it always an Ant 3?

He CANNOT hit them in the clutch.

[weimy froob]

no reason why they can't lose the next one either. the only lineups that had some juice were the ones when Jaylen was on the court. figure it out Finch.

[Hoop Dreams]

An Ant three. Who saw that coming?!

[Beef Supreme]

This is why I didn’t get too high on the 8-game win streak. It was fun, but this is what this team is.

Inconsistent.

[somuchyummy]

Ok. I officially no longer care. This is a consistently stupid, lax, non-serious team that doesn’t warrant our attention or affection. Maybe they’ll win some playoff games, maybe they won’t. I no longer care. They have more than earned the meh.

[Hoop Dreams]

There are some serious leadership issues on this team. To come out and play like this after that loss to Indiana is concerning and unacceptable.

[Beef Supreme]

Or they could win the next 4.


Who knows? But teams like this don’t usually make playoff runs.

One of the worst things you can say about a team is that they are less than the sum of its parts.


And that shoe fits.

[Beef Supreme]

Just cancelled FanDuel.

[somuchyummy]

It would be cool if in finch’s post game presser, nobody asks him a question. Just let him marinate in the uncomfortable silence.

[weimy froob]

Ant 5-19
Naz 3-11
Nickeil 1-7

my gawd. Naz drives to the hoop and can't even hit the rim. then misses a corner three when there isn't anybody 10 feet from him. he's not clutch. sorry. Ant drives to the hoop and can't hit the rim. then can't finish again at the rim. at least he hit it that time. not clutch.

[witljon]

This sucks…

[weimy froob]

just read this in the twitterverse.

Spoiler:

Wolves didn't hit a FG in the final 3 minutes.

[weimy froob]

sorry Finch. your clutch time lineup was bad again tonight.

[twolves31]

I swear we have the worst ball handlers in the league. The ball gets poked away so easily from all of them including Mike. They are also some of the worst passers, either slow cross court passes that are easy to steal, or line drive out of bounds passes nowhere near someone. Ant and Naz cant make their layups, Naz cant hit a wide open three pointer in the clutch, Donte hasn't been able to either these last two games. Ant, Donte, Julius, Naz, and Mike are all legitimately good free throw shooters, and they all miss them when it gets to the clutch.

[weimy froob]

that's what i saw in the second half. posted in the thread that he should get back out there when Zion comes back in. Finch just can't trust what's happening on the court. two games in a row if he gives Clark the minutes he deserved i think his team is walking off with Ws.

[somuchyummy]

You know how we’ve been saying we can beat any team in a series? I’m doubting that greatly now. U look at one of our rivals jockeying for position - the Clippers. We’re having two embarrassing losses - and they are beating the Cavs. Zubac and kawhi combine for 61/27. The only thing that would get us past them - also considering Hardens play lately - is health. If they are healthy, we’re dead. And that’s just LAC.

that was the miss of the night. you can't tell me that he's a 30 mil a guy player the way he's played for weeks now. his layup was a brick from three feet away. can't believe Ant missed that one so bad either.

[DonaldDouchebag]

I missed the game but just looked at the play/by-pkay of the last few minutes. Jacking threes and missing layups. Yikes!!

I know we weren't winning consistently, but my interest and excitement for this team was highest when he and Shannon and Dillingham were getting run about a month ago. That was legit fun. Then the hurt guys come back and Conley starts playing better and they go to the bench. Sure we did beat up on some bad teams, but the team just wasn't compelling to watch anymore. I lost interest during the winning streak and these two losses just cinch it.

Incredibly disappointing season.

I missed the game too. Wasn’t expecting this crap.

Looked like the kind of play where he was anticipating contact and didn't get it and blew the finish.

[weimy froob]

i don't really care what the record is, the wolves play better on the road. if they can't get to sixth they might as well fall to eighth.

Edwards and Naz have missed layups in the 4th. Ant's was contested, but still, these are the kinds of misses that are plaguing wolves crunch time offense. Naz missed corner 3, Ant missed layup. Wolves can't get a rebound and Zion may have just iced it. Just killer.

that's it in a couple tweets. you don't have to go deeper than that. oh and i wish Jaylen was on the court. if you're going to lose, lose with the guy that's bringing some energy to the lineup.

[somuchyummy]

Here’s something else especially damning. The Pels more than left the door wide open. Gaping. In the second half, they went 7 of 17 from the FT line.

Might be tough to win a one game series against the Clippers playing into that wall.

[weimy froob]

Zion the best player on the court.

he gets the wolves again.
