  1. I’m sorry but you can’t have your starting point guard play 33 minutes without a single point.

  2. djrty_puppy

    This team just can’t get out of its own fucking way. Losing after being up 20 at home. Terrible loss that could end up looming large for the playoff picture.

  3. BT_phoenix

    The wolves are lucky the majority of the west is a shit show but they couldn’t afford a loss like this. They’re gonna get left in the dust after the break if they can’t change.

  4. DrWolves

    Not even the worst Wolves choke I’ve seen in the last year

  5. SakeOfPete

    I will not stand for finch’s bench rotations any longer

  6. Magazine_Mediocre

    So frustrated right now. I was so sure we had that game.

  7. M1THRANDlR

    Losing to Zion in the play-in is our destiny

  8. Bacon_Piggies

    Man watching the slow march towards blowing this was just sad

  9. cawil65158

    At what point is not closing games a coaching issue? Additionally, finch never calls timeouts to stop opposing teams momentum.

  10. awking70

    What a shit performance from the bench. Choking in the clutch and the MN Timberwolves, name a more classic combination.

  11. Johnnymac98

    I’m sorry but Finch absolutely needs to be under some fire for this, he constantly has these huge let down games regardless of roster construction

  12. Cameron-0-

    it’s gunna be the same shit against the hornets i bet

  13. kingsofthenorth123

    I would absolutely love a real NBA coach to lead this team at some point in the future

  14. HauntingLocation

    Just wow. Sickened that I wasted my time watching this game.

    If anybody is wondering why the media doesn’t take us seriously this is why.

    Unserious coach, unserious team, and just embarrassing losses.

  15. tie_myshoe

    For the first time, imma question Finch here. Multiple double digit lead blown games?????

  16. realistic-bloke

    Finch’s apathetic personality rubs off on the team

  17. FlyingScissor

    Dumbass motherfuckers talk about this team not needing KAT or other dog shit takes,, Ant has 0 idea what to do against a double. You know who makes his life a million times easier its KAT. This team is more or less lucky to be as good as it has been but reminder that KAT is still the best and most important player on this team

  18. JustWinBabys

    Finch you fucking Donkey. Let’s Kyrie and now Beal 👩‍🍳 all quarter with no adjustment.

  19. homiefranko

    What was Finch doing this game? Obviously the players need to execute, but why are we not forcing Beal into double teams in the 4th once he caught fire? Offense goes stagnant and he has no answers, no actions being runs, terrible plays being drawn up. Finch seems to have a tendency to almost fall asleep at the wheel when the Wolves get up by a large. (See the entire Grizzlies series last year)

  20. That’s a coaching loss.

    Experimented way too long. Let Wizards find rhythm. Relied too much thinking the starters can get back and win it.

    I don’t know why there’s no urgency to win.

  21. BeyondTimberdome

    Pretty angry for several reasons, like most people

    But hey nobody can blame Russell this time. It seems we don’t know what to do offensively if he’s not bailing us out with late 3s

    I think we took like 5 open threes in total in the second half. Couldn’t get looks there and also couldn’t get inside.

    How can a zone be that confounding?

  22. Gobert_Clamped_Luka_

    Finch running those Nowell bench lineups was a way bigger issue than Mike Conley missing 6 shots. That’s as simple as I can make it.
