This loss is 100% on Glen Taylor
Jesus christ what a shit game to watch, so frustrating the whole time for a multitude of reasons. Just couldn’t make any timely 3s and they made all of theirs.
Whatever though, at least we don’t have to worry about the Bulls in the playoffs. Now we pray the knicks get up.
0-1 at home since Glen Taylor decided he wants the team still
I miss KAT
This feels like the Kings game early in the season where they just couldn’t miss
29% vs 56% from 3, tough to overcome that. Just seems like we never bring the energy vs eastern conference teams for some reason. Bulls needed that game more though and it showed.
I would rather the wolves play Denver than Chicago in the playoffs
God damn it bro can we make a shot
Bulls would be 82-0 with how they play against us lol.
They gave us every chance to be back in the game, and we got ourselves back in it. Just a poor shooting night.
We also left a lot on the table in the first half driving into traffic, turning it over, and failing to contest their open threes.
Good effort.
I think I’d rather play Sacramento or someone else than have the 1 seed and play Lebron and AD in the first round.
Rough shooting night for the Wolves and great shooting night for the Bulls, it is what it is.
Not much you can do when a team shoots like that. Wolves have lacked energy in a lot of games early other than that Denver one. Really gotta set a better tone from the jump. Hopefully bounce back against Houston.
Need Ant to find his shooting touch from 3 again
Another clutch time loss. Lot of good shots just could not hit from Ant and McDaniels. Wolves miss KAT
Heh, well at least they weren’t as bad as the Twins today.
Happy Easter.
Clear issues in that loss, but for the most part we missed a ridiculous amount of open 3s in the 4th while CHI shot 57% from 3. I’d say we have the xPoints advantage if that existed in basketball. As long as missing wide open 3s doesn’t continue, this L doesn’t worry me tooo much
We will obviously bounce back but goddamn we gotta figure out some offensive options.
Well the bulls can celebrate they were the only team not to lose to us on our championship run
Well, making 6 more threes on 8 less attempts is going to make the game really tough for the other team.
gg bulls
33.7% from 3 team made 10/18 in the second half against us in Chicago and 17/30 today. 7/8 by Caruso while Ant missed FIFTEEN 3s in a row. Such games happen, though it would be nice if they happen to OKC too.
I’d be surprised if even the Wizards or Pistons have had a worse final 5 minutes this season. NAW got pick 6’d by Derozan, and other than a miscommunication for an Ant dunk, they fucked up every single possession remaining in the game.
This is a game where KAT is missed.
The 3-ball didn’t fall hard enough tonight, and the ball turnedover a lot. This gave Bulls many opportunities and they were really scoring the first half
ON TO THE NEXT ONE
I can’t believe they ruined this Rudy Gobert masterclass
Conley and Gobert played well.
One of Ant’s worst games in a while. Turnovers galore and missing every big shot.
Naz Reid another bad game.
Something up with Ant’s conditioning past two games. Hope he gets back into being able to run in second half of games.
Ant needs a get right game in the worst way thought that would be tonight. His slump rn is fucking atrocious and hard to watch.
Not concerned with this loss tbh, but Jesus Ant. It’s frustrating to get screwed by the refs, I know. It’s frustrating to go cold from beyond the arc. But you’ve gotta adapt and play with the team in mind and not just yourself.
There are no free wins in the modern nba. Just look at our Piston games. You’ve got to adapt and learn to play hard every time.
Not concerned because our team always plays hard against good teams, but preventable losses like this are frustrating
Another night where we lose and the opposing team shoots >50% from 3. Us being below 30% didn’t help.
We need Ant to make the open 3s
Team didn’t care defensively in the first half, which happens most games. Relied on punching back in the second half and couldn’t throw a solid punch.
Ant loves driving into crowds and then kicking out, teams know this and just surround him. 5 assists to 6 turnovers is pathetic.
Game notes-
We didn’t wake up for this game like we did for Denver
Not going to win many games when the other team shoots nearly 60% from 3 and we shoot near a season low
Ant continues to not get calls when attacking the rim
Our FT shooting is a little concerning
Glen Taylor is ugly as hell
So is Coby White
Alex Caruso is a bitch
Shitty game, yes Chicago shot well, but that doesn’t explain the mountain of turnovers.
Edwards not a closer tonight, he got worked by Caruso.
Denver win negated.
We shot terribly while they shot fantastically and it was still a very close game. Also had a bunch of bad turnovers by ANT. All things considered I wouldn’t feel too bad about this one.
​
Also why does Chicago play us like they still have hope?! Like Jim P said they don’t play like this most nights. Fucking sucks they show out vs us but it is what it is fair play I guess.
​
On to the next one!
Certainly one of the games of all time
Game was there for the taking. Gotta hit those open shots. Rudy was battling
Had the game but then decided to shoot 3s ONLY when in the bonus🤦🏾♂️ the pick and roll with Rudy would’ve worked WONDERS and idk why no one called for it
Wasn’t able to watch, is there anything more to read into other than the Bulls just shot 60% from 3?
Some are way too hung up on the #1 seed … it’s a nice achievement but it gets you nothing for the playoffs.
After how we just outclassed the Nuggets in their barn with both our no. 2’s out, THIS is not at all what I expected we’d do back home
I don’t know man, Ants 3pt shooting is a huge concern considering last year he literally shot us out of the play in game against lakers.
mclaughlin still +8. im not sure if people have really caught on to the fact that the starters have not really been driving the wins since KAT went out. they’ve been getting the decisive margins during the stretches of bench vs bench
