Great close out to the half. Looks like our shots are starting to fall. Just D-up in the second half

Beard is in heaven as our #3. He led the league in assists totally hungover last year and his 17 ppg is pure gold for us. He'll get credit when he has a good game when we win and zero blame if we lose.

Philly don't dig that s̷h̷i̷t̷ stuff. We don't care if you win or lose as long as you puke blood for us. It's a different kind of party.

There were a couple of SportsCenter plays [or failed attempts at them]. But it's harder to be good than to be great.

This team is starting to play like adults. Only FOUR turnovers.

All that work for nothing. So frustrating.

Zubac still isnt right. I think he came back too soon. I havent seen him play good yet since coming back

Our centers have sucked tonight. Theis is getting the Tucker treatment which doesn’t make sense.

Why smal ball against wolves? Why?

Hero. PG has been playing hurt too. Reggie played hurt last year and they spit on him. Powell is garbage tonight too, 2 points, minus-8.

Rally 'round the flag, boyz!!

This team is allergic to taking the 1st seed or taking advantage when the top teams lose.

Just stupid play late in this 3rd quarter. Mind bogglingly dumb. They have to be more fundamental to beat the wolves. Russ/PG just arent the smartest players. Russ going 1 on 4 and missing caused a fast break easy basket for them. Mann dribbling stupid in the backcourt created a turnover. If this is what we see in the playoffs, this team is toast.

Leonard went without a shot for almost 8 minutes. Stupid.

Turning it off. Another frustrating game.

Awful third quarter

Russ and Norm were really bad in the 3rd. Not sure y lue left them out there.

We missed big time with not selling T.Mann high.

We’ve looked good for just a few minutes this game. Wolves good for almost all of it. Especially their defense.
Down big now.

Imagine thinking he’s untouchable. I’d laugh if I wasn’t crying.

Clippers defense doesn't make any sense, their centers somehow end up defending the other team's guards instead of matching up with the other team's big. It's so annoying and then we have leonard or PG sticking the center. And if course it ends up as a layup or dunk.

you are blaming Mann for this? PG, Norm and westbook have been awful. There should be no excuses for this game. They honestly look like a bunch of frauds.

We haven't looked the same since the road trip. The 1st game back was understandable. Allstar break can't come soon enough.

And I'm sick of Sieman and Jackson giving Minnesota endless props.
