This team and offense just isn’t as fun to watch as it once was. I don’t know much but I know watching Randle stop the flow and chuck contested shots all game is boring and shitty basketball. Love Ant but frankly it feels the same with him rn. No rhythm, no flow, no fun.

I know we all love saying his name and all but he was so sloppy

It wasn't a great game but could we give the team a couple of minutes before we all try to fire Finch or trade our beloved Naz? i dont think they're dead yet. wolves in 6

That’s it. Definitely need new refs.

Jaden gets a poke away steal on Jokic with 4.5 seconds left on the clock so Murray has to chuck up a shot at the half court line. The obvious thing to do is box out and try to secure the rebound. But our team doesn’t know the concept of that.

Championship coaches have their teams focus and execute on every possession to make up for their weaknesses.And when one player isn’t contributing they sub him out but our head coach thinks it’s taboo to do that. Finch has got to be gone with Randle this offseason.

I’m not sure if it’s coaching or personnel, probably a combination of both, but Minnesota’s lack of situational awareness once they get stuck in their feelings has been a crutch for far too long. Season after season they’re one of the most talented teams in the league but also one of the stupidest. Their struggles are so predictable at this point that for the life of me I cannot understand how they have not been addressed and fixed.

This change in direction layup was crazy. He drove to the rim 6 times and made 5 of those shots (83.3%). The one shot he missed, Randle or Rudy put it in so 100% of his rim attempts led to points. The other drives led to FTs (7 FTA, not bad). Almost every Ant drive resulted in points or FTs.

I know his knee isn't 100% and it takes energy to take it to the rack but he's so damn good there, drove multiple times and looked good even with the injury, and he doesn't seem to have lift on his jumper.

They cannot stop him there. Most of his drives were amidst 3 guys and it's like they didn't even exist! He easily swerves around them, casually changes directions and finishes or draws FTs. When we cut the lead in the 4th, instead of taking the contested jumpers why not drive? Even when there's 3-4 Denver guys in the paint it doesn't matter, he finishes anyway.

We got this if Ant goes downhill more in Game 2!
