We just couldn’t buy a timely 3 the whole game & they made a bunch of them. Super frustrating game for sure cos it’s one we could’ve had but it’s hard to blame a lot other than poor shooting.
Eh, their shots fell in the 4th and ours didn’t. Really all there is to it.
Damn. One of those can’t win them all sort of games
Have to make open 3s
Terrible shooting night and a lot of no calls… onto the next one I guess
Solid game but we just couldn’t make our shots tonight. Need more than 8 points from D’Lo.
Ant playing well with Rudy was a great sign.
The Rudy hate in the game thread was unreal. 19/15 with 2 steals and 2 blocks on 81% shooting and you want to blame Rudy?
Nowell what the fuck was that lool
Refs you suck, refs you suck
DLo 3 week slump is here
Sports gambling is legal. This is the result
Refs were ridiculous tonight as usual, but we still had multiple chances to win the game. Just couldn’t hit wide open shots. Simple as that.
If we could’ve made an open shot that would’ve been nice
Timberwolves hit a 3 challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
If Naz got a fraction of the no calls we would’ve won. Change my mind
Need 32 back BAD. Our lack of offensive reliability is glaring
It’d be so nice to have a consistent shooter on this team.
27-10 FT disparity lmao, like yeah we foul a lot but cmon man it seems like we get fouled a lot too, And them making 16 more FTs than us is DEFINITELY a big factor in the L
Gotta hit your shots down the stretch. See you all next on Friday for more pain!
Everything went against us, especially with fouls/refs and 3 pt shooting and we still kept it close. We don’t need to burn everything down guys
Hard to overcome a 27 to 10 FTA discrepancy while shooting 28% from three.
Never too high never too low
Silly loss. That was very much a game we should’ve pulled away from.
Solid game. ANT’s off ball defense was consistently bad in the 4th quarter
We played well. Our 3 ball just went back to what it was before the streak, terrible. Tough to beat the same team back to back.
27-10 that’s the story of the game
D’lo, Ant, and Nowell 0-16 from 3 aint gonna cut it. Just way too many wide open misses. But for the most part liked the way we played D with Gobert’s first time trying the high wall. This game hurts though really feels like we shoulda won this
24-12 foul differential + ant dlo and nowell combining for 0-16 from three will just about guarantee a loss no matter what
One of the league leaders in points In the paint yet it seems like every game we lose the FT disparity.
And games just like that are exactly why I’m so hesitant to pay Dlo anything, he so so so on & off it’s just hard for me to see him as a winning basketball player.
Oh well, we’re definitely the better team. Just couldn’t hit our shots at the end, and some randos on their team made their first career threes, not too worried.
Lotta rudy haters in here. Look at the 3pt and FT discrepancy. That’s why we lost.
