Not sure which is worse, the commentators or the officiating. Hoping for that 3rd quarter magic the Wolves usually have.

I close the sound, don't wanna hear the comment. We play better in second quarter. OKC is very hot tonight at shooting, if they not cool down, will be tough.

Re: Game 29 Wolves at Thunder 12-26-23 Record 22-6
OKC is playing their offensive and defensive concepts so much better than us, we are lucky to only be down 6 points.
They are shredding us in the draw and kick and attacking off the catch.
KAT and NAZ in particular getting caught out of position a lot.
Our offense does not look good, too many sloppy turnovers, they are taking away the slots and ball reversals with their zone and we are not able to punish them with our size.
Slo mo ending up with the ball in his hands way too much and we are holding the ball too long.
This is a game Jaden should be able to excel attacking off the catch.
They are loading up on KAT and Ant we need someone who can attack from the weak side and that player is Jaden.
Ant is finally getting some foul calls and is out to lunch on the free throws. Shaking my head.
We need to up the intensity defensively and play quicker and more decisive on offense, getting some stops and turnovers will help us generate more offense in transition.
If we get a repeat of the 1st half we are going to get run off the floor.

Down double digits again. Do we have another comeback in us?

Not if Mike keeps passing up open 3s so Rudy can take them.

Re: Game 29 Wolves at Thunder 12-26-23 Record 22-6
So we open the half with a Rudy Gobert 3 point attempt?
What an effing clown.
This team is not serious enough to win anything with all the completely boneheaded crap we pull.
Might as well turn the game off. A serious coach would sit his ass on the bench for a couple minutes.

He took a shot. He missed it. He's not a clown. He doesn't need to be benched.

Should have inbounded immediately there. I think that's a charge, but I have a feeling that one is going against us.
The way they enforce the rules on charges these days you almost have to be perfect.
That would be 4 on Chet so this is a huge call.

Charge on Chet overturned IMO BS. The OKC announcers considered it obvious.

I mean if that's not a charge I don't know how you play defense anymore.

When you are in your 12th year and have ZERO made 3 pointers yes you are a clown killing your team if you take one.
Every possession matters.

Instead of being benched with foul #4 Chet is still in the game nailing 3s. That call could easily be the difference in the game.

We just can't stop these guys so far.

Why every game do I feel it's only a matter of time until Jaden McDaniels is in foul trouble.
Like a law of nature or something.

You don't make one until you do. He took a shot. He missed it. What if he had made it? We would have got so much momentum from it. He's not a clown and doesn't need to be benched.

Let's take advantage while Chet is out. When he gets back in get him fouled out. We can win.

It's looking tough to come back but were still in it. Our defense has let us down. I'm not sure i'm seeing enough effort and attention to detail tonight.

When a team is scoring like this, we are just screwed, we can't keep up bucket for bucket as our offense isn't that strong. We pretty much have to slow teams down or we are cooked. We can't get into slugfest.

I just don't know how we get enough stops to come back.
Especially when they are moving the ball and we are not.
