Shaka_Zulu was right. He said he can't see them losing 4-1. The Nuggets aren't losing 4-1, they are losing 4-0 :wink:


Why do the Wolves have to have such dumb fans. :banghead:



My worst fear happening so quickly back to back is gut wrenching. Nuggets just too insane in their calculated gameplans and Jokic out executing in every play.


But more then defense, my biggiest fear going into this playoffs was our non Ant offense being unreliable (similar issue last playoff). After the amazing first 6 games, the shaky offense we could see in parts of regular season reared its ugly head big time. Just forcing too many tough inefficient shots by anyone not named Ant. Needs huge uptick by everyone else.

KAT reverting back to old habits smh..I wouldn't mind if he just takes C&S 3's for rest of the series. If we lose this series, then yeah we might be seeing some significant changes in the off-season

I want us having a legacy of 8-0 against two teams that people thought were legit contenders. Finally, the Suns sweep happened in Phoenix, I want Target Center to bring their brooms to game 4 and experience the sweep live. That roof will need to be reinforced, because the fans will try and blow it off!!!!!


I was being nice. I expect us to bust out the brooms.


I hope you stick a broom up your.... :banghead:

Lol are you crazy? I like our odds and think this tie has gotten more even then before. But gentleman sweep the champs that have the most unguardable and indisputable best player in the league? It's almost impossible to stop Joker, don't see him and this well oiled team ever losing 4-1, not when healthy and have home court advantage.


Ahem.

Again..this has been another major problem. McDaniels is not knocking down these open looks

Yes, we can't have another non-shooter, which was why they went with the big 3 - Naz, Towns, Gobert. That seems to work for a few minutes. I don't like just look at +/- but for the few mins of KA+NAW, it was really, really bad. Wolves were underdog to start with. It's was fun to be the top dog for a week. We are back to how the series started. Basically win at home and steal a away game from DEN and we move to the next round

Why is our offense so bad? In the last 3 games, Wolves scored 90, 107, and 97 points. I don't think DEN's defense is that great. So, besides KA shouldn't be in the game, what is going on? We avg 113 in regular season and DEN is the 6th best in D giving up around 110 a game.

If Mike can’t go again, should Monte start in place of Naw?

Adds a true ball handler next to Ant, keeps Naw in his normal role. Can Monte direct close to how Mike does for the time he’s in?

Should Luka get some minutes over Kyle for some hustle minutes, hard fouls, and a couple baskets?

Should Minott get a look for some hustle minutes and extra fouls if certain guys aren’t performing?

I think Karl should post up and work in some cutters. Denver was doubling hard. If he can be patient and pull the defense out a little, it may make their rotations a bit tougher. Especially with some added motion off ball.

Just my two cents

I know he was dealing with a hand/finger thing but thought it was just a sprain?

He should still be able to draw and kick or hit floaters.

Yes, he hit a floater and mid range shot in last game. But in one previous game he took wide open three and missed badly

It’s literally just Kyle Anderson + Jaden not hitting shots.

Been saying this all season, absolutely unbelievable that the coaching staff hasn’t picked up on it. Dude has been a subpar defensive player all series, ruins the offense, and is a turnover machine. Absolute coaching malpractice that he gets minutes. This isn’t even a “armchair quarterback” situation, all of the data supports that he is Minnesota’s biggest problem, on-the-court.

To me, our stars have to go out swinging tonight. I think Towns and Ant have to be aggressive on offense tonight. Still play within the flow but they have to demand the ball and make something happen.
