The Minnesota Timberwolves came into the weekend with a chance to make a run at avoiding the play-in tournament in the Western Conference. Instead, they’ll need to fight to stay in the play-in and not fall out of the top 10 teams altogether. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down a disheartening and inexcusable Wolves loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday in the context of Friday’s deflating loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. What went wrong? Why did Karl-Anthony Towns only get three shot attempts?

Can’t wait till we trade kat this offseason
But it was all dlo fault and not tim connelly , thats what mn media keep telling me 😭
Mn sport drive nuts..can t believe we keep losing and have no hope for greatness
Friday night against the Lakers I was pretty disappointed. This game against the Trailblazers I decided not to watch and was the first game I've skipped voluntarily for a long long time. Many years. And my decision to watch the final four girls or the Timberwolves? Probably about the same skill set. Should have been cleaning my garage.
TRADEKAT
Might possibly be the worst twolves lost in history
Minnesota Timberwolves need new fans because this fan base sucks!!!
Extend Naz as a starter. Trade Kat for whatever you can get.
big kitty with 3 shot attempts vs the terrifying g-league defense 😂😂 already looking ahead to next year because this season is a dumpster fire 😆
KAT is all NBA all star; Rudy is all Defensive all star; MC is all star; Ant is all star;and McDefense is best defender in NBA; when you are fighting for a playoff spot and no one wants to play; Rosas will not have created this mess, somebody gotta go!!!!
Wolves play too much individual isolating . Poor passing skills lead to turnovers. The obvious cause of failure is not playing as a team. They need to work on their basics.Poor coaching techniques both during the game and during practices. Poor coaching allows opposing teams with inferior talent to overcome the talent deficit.
Wolves are moving to Las Vegas per NBA news 📰
Lakers really did a number on the wolves smh
Don't worry you guys still have the draft oh 😢…
KAT 😩😩 my guy what was that? 3 shot attempts????????
Better luck next year. Go wolves
🤮🤮🤮
Time to trade towns for a quicker rangey player that can play defense plus draft picks. Naz Reid can take his place .
Most wolves fans scape goating kat, now cause they was wrong and not willing to admit it. Ant was not good against Portland, you shoot 30 shots you better have at least 30pts .Kyle Anderson getting to much praise you saw with that last possession why teams fine with him trying to win he's not good enough to be that type of player .Kat gets doubled Most the game why can't other players take advantage of that but blame kat because he wasn't selfish.
This guy know basketball I like how he breaks things time compared to other podcast that saying it’s all kat Fult
Maybe they went out and partied the night before😮
Trade KAT. 🙏🙏🙏
Everyone's so obsessed with unlocking gobert that your team is basically imploding because of it. 😞
Lol y’all suck
This team needs big changes ! Charles Barkley said it this is the dumbest team in the NBA turn the ball over constantly !! Ant shoots bricks from anywhere and everywhere we get nothing out of those !! No adjustments at all during the game Anthony Davis is allowed to take you apart single handedly.. Finch can't coach at all …no playing or developing the young guys …It's really sad and hopeless…. embarrassment
Portland players were playing for their jobs while the timberwolves are just weak willed players who have nothing to play for. They have guaranteed contracts so what do they care?
we’re not making the playoffs 😢
Hahahahaha…lol
I hope Ant goes somewhere else so I don't have to keep being a fan of this garbage franchise.
