It's disappointing to see such effort after 3 days off. Wolves better come up with something quick for Sunday.

Basically the entire team sucks - you can take everyone off the floor except Towns and Ant. Even Ant was bad.

What game were you watching. Ant was trying to bail us out. He's unquestionably the best on the floor. Stop defending Rudy when his whole job is to make sure they don't score like this.

Moving screens and push offs every single play for Jokic…finally.

Wolves found a way to out do the nuggets poor performance. Will they even score 80?

How is it just Rudy's fault when you have everyone missing shots and no one could stop Murray?

He didn't cover his rotations and clogged the lanes. It's not all his fault tho. The whole team was bad but he stuck out.

No defense, not much offense.... really nothing positive tonight. Denver is able the win the next 3 if we don't wake up. Next game will show if we got enough. One bad game must not clear the 6 good previous one but this one is really bad !

I will never understand why we would have Gobert and Kyle Anderson on at the same time when we are losing. It just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Seriously? Den shoot 60% and 50% from 3s. I supposed he did rotate to Murray fast enough. Ant is 3-8 from 3 and Conley is 1-5 and Naz missed a bunch of layups. Gobert suck too.

I’m sorry you can’t tell me this game wasn’t thrown. Why would you go away from the game plan? You let Denver get everything and took away nothing.

Murray and Jokic efficient. Gave up open shots to the others. Denver didn’t look like played that great or overpowering to me. The wolves just threw in the towel.

Towns has only taken 7 shots. 4-7 overall 4-5 from 3. Where’s the aggression? Wolves only have 9TO but 17 fouls to Denver 16.

Idk y’all…

Make this game epic, complete the almost 30 point comeback!

Popovich would’ve had JMac,Minott, Garza, and Co in a long time ago.

The pretty bizarre idea being bandied about on some Wolf podcasts that Denver will come in blazing and take game 3 is confounding, and makes one think they may be only saying this to inexplicably appease their colleagues in Denver or to save face in the event that the Wolves fall flat which is incredibly unlikely, especially considering the rabid TC crowd that will absolutely be reminiscent of the decibel-shattering Metrodome crowds in '87 and '91.

IMO to not fully and openly acknowledge the historical momentum the Wolves have displayed in the last 6 games can only be chalked up to utter cowardice.

The Wolves are poised to and most likely will end this series definitively in the first 24 minutes tonight.

This plus, Finch will have them later focused. Dallas and OKC split games 1 and 2. That means it is going at least 5. I think it is reasonable to assume at least 6. That means if you finish on Sunday you can gain 3-5 extra days of rest and prep time. That is massive for a high energy defense like ours. Plus if I am right and Dallas wins this series, they are already banged up, and will get more banged up (as will OKC in the next 3-4-5 games. This means we could have not only a significant rest advantage (fully earned by our play,) but hopefully (and god willing,) a health advantage. Game 3 is an absolute must win, and I think the Wolves know this very well.

You guys are just delusional.

Right or wrong, I think they put Kyle in when there is no ball movement. They pull JMcL in when they want pace (or Morris is hurt).

Rudy 6 pts 4 boards. Yep. Rudy is plenty to blame.

Kat and Ant have to rain down 3's and make em to have a shot.

_AIJ_ · Post #198 » by **_AIJ_** » Sat May 11, 2024 3:49 am
