We take care of business like the 2nd quarter the rest of the game and it won't be ugly, but I'm fine with ugly.

The entire problem is that the offense collapses with Mike Conley on the bench, Minnesota doesn't need Jordan McLaughlin at all on the court when Mike Conley is out there. Dude isn't a shooter and is too small to consistently defend.

I agree. WTF. The worst part is you are playing two point guards, neither of whom is applying any ball pressure and both are getting absolutely cooked on defense.

Literally any other player on our bench is a better option than playing McLaughlin with Conley.

The goal is to raise pace and get the ball moving. Downside is JMAC is not a shooter and that hurt spacing. This is why we need a proper backup PG, not a simply a 3rd string getting minutes at PG2.

Good to see JMcD getting going on offense.

I'm not surprised Mike is bad. Each time he rest too much, he come very rusty. Will need 1 or 2 more games before he back in rythm. It was the same at Jazz and he become older. That's why he doest not like to rest on B2B.

KAT is on point shooting tonight. Wow.

For those who like assisting Ant he's up to 7 already. You have to be happy with that.

Duren is probably there best player with Cade out. 4 fouls now won't hurt.

Can't shake them yet. They're still hanging around.

Some poor rotations defensively so far this game.. unnecessary helping

That call against KAT was beyond Ticky Tacky. Horrible. Let him play. BS.

Ant should have kicked it out there to open man instead of trying to finish through 3-4 guys

Rudy sit for 3 min and defense look garbage again. Mike not on the floor and Ant seems he can do all alone. KAT get great position but don't get the ball. Frustrating sometimes.

What an ugly game this is.

We don't have the offense for shootouts, we are in a shootout. This is not our game. Need to clamp it up now.

Such a stupid and unlucky turnover lol

I've been told we just need our existing guys to "shoot more"...

We don't have offense for shootouts with Phoenix or OKC, but we do for one with Detroit. Not really worried yet.

Not our best game. But does not matter much.... if it end with a win .

TimberKat · Post #79 » by **TimberKat** » Thu Jan 18, 2024 1:46 am

BOS up 75 to 45 vs SAS. That is what I expected for this game but just win by 4 and I will Happy.
