The Minnesota Timberwolves saw New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson nearly single-handedly end their six-game winning streak on Monday night. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the loss, as the Wolves struggled to get consistent offense with Anthony Edwards sitting out due to injury. The Timberwolves’ defense was active but foul-happy, and Rudy Gobert had a rough all-around performance.

Wow terrible reffing stifled the wolves mojo. They’re not ready for big games and “how” the nba officiates them.(not that this was a big one but it’s a glimpse)
Like warriors in the beginning they must transcend the rig in order to break through. It won’t be “fair”
You cant win when the refs gives the fatboy and his crew 40 FT
Help me understand. Slomo was the only rotation guy with a positive +/- in the game, including a +10 to end the 3rd quarter. But he didn’t see the court in the 4th.
The free throws were weird, Rudy being neutralized should be analyzed. People talk about a spread quick offense taking him out but he was a complete non factor in this one.
The Rudy/Naz/TBJ/shake/Jmac lineup can’t play together. I understand fouls mess up rotations but wow. I love Jmac as much as anyone but he can’t be our offensive gravity. Every line up should have KAT or Ant, and Rudy needs either MC or SloMo.
Closing the 3rd we had Naz/SloMo/jaden/shake/jmac. That worked. +10 to close the quarter. Slomo handled the offense, jmac as secondary and the others spaced and paced.
Second half showed we do not run good sets to get KAT open. KAT was trying but had to iso and nothing moving off his doubles. Where was the offensive adjustment?
Two things with Zion. Help me understand, why in the Ant drives does he not get the calls that Zion gets? Is it the “hey”? Also, why not defense Zion like teams do KAT when he gets the driving blinders on and gets the offensive fouls? We know he wants to get within 10ft, why not just help defender wall up? We’ve seen teams do that to KAT and work. I’m not afraid of Zion shooting jumpers.
So you don't recognize that the refs were calling soft fouls for the pelicans and nothing for the wolves tells me that you are just a paid bot
I usually don’t disagree strong on the studs/duds but slomo was your best rotation guy, shake was ok but he wasn’t making others better or creating offense. Naz is finishing but again not creating offense. The starting 5 in the second half was bad.
rudy early fouls disrupted the flow of our defense is what i believe happened. good job by NO im sure that was part of the game plan
