[Kraw] “Right now, you look in this team’s eyes and there is nothing there. They have been hard to watch all season long, both for their plodding execution and their Tin Man emptiness. Last year Patrick Beverley lit the fuse. Does this team even have one?”



“Maybe this whole thing is beyond saving. Maybe losing Karl-Anthony Towns, Jordan McLaughlin and Taurean Prince for as long as they have is too much to overcome. Maybe the Gobert trade was a colossal mistake. Even if all of that is true, this team wouldn’t be as derided as it has been if they just looked like they cared.”

Bravo Jon K, while our team sucks our reporting does not. Way to professionally articulate the despair and feelings of the fans, and twist some needed daggers publicly.

  1. Agreed. Fans wouldn’t be this angry and frustrated if this team was 16-21 because of injuries but were playing their ass off.

    The record + the apathy is the death knell for me. The Jimmy year was rocky but at least they won amidst the dysfunction.

    I gave up watching every game for the first time in years this season and so thankful I did.

    Things are looking quite dire but this is a bit dramatic lol. Of course these guys care

  4. players look like they care and play well for 2.5 or 3 quarters then routinely fall on their faces to end games

    maybe it’s just Finch getting outcoached when it’s winning time?

    Pbev was Finch’s locker room voice. Without someone to take that role Finch’s value as a coach absolutely tanks. Vando was a huge finch believer too.

    Shoutout Jon K for always articulating what Wolves fans are feeling

    I remember earlier in the season Mica Nori had a very telling halftime interview. He mentioned flat out that effort shouldn’t be something they are worrying about this early.

    It cant be easy for someone to care as much when your own teammates start playing selfish basketball. Ant and Jaden see Nowell and Naz hoisting up shots without passing and then they do the same. Its a domino affect. Everyone needs to get theirs and the end result is a bad product.
