This happens all the time under Finch. He's too stubborn and or stupid to make changes once it's painfully obvious the other team is on a run.

He always waits way too long to call a TO when the opponent is making a run, had NO answers when the Bucks switched to zone and WTF was Finch doing pulling Gobert out of the game???

We have been a low IQ team all year long and it starts with Finch.

No leadership on this team. Ant, Randle and Jaden are as dumb as they come way too often. Lazy, pouty and careless.

DDV hit a three pointer to put us up 24. ESPN then had our probability of wining at 99.9%......LOL

The bucks cut it to 16 and finch called timeout

They cut it to 8 and Finch called timeout again.

I've never seen anything like it. They never attacked the basket once, never posted up once, made passes that a 6th grader wouldn't make continuously.

Finch and all of the players sucked.

We are what we are.

We are also soft. We back down and look shell-shocked.

Since this happens over and over and over.......you have to look for a new coach.

I think Ant is regressing under Finch. He's never told NO!

The problem with the telling ant no idea is you sold your only other star to tell him definitively yes. Julius can’t beat anyone off the dribble consistently and all the rest are mediocre shot creators. It’s why this roster with its current spacing isn’t going to work

Yep, no shot creators when the defense is turned up a notch.

This is why McDaneils will never do it for me.

Also, point guard is brutal here. Conley creates nothing for anyone else. It's like the elephant in the room no one talks about.

McDaniels is a 3 and d kind of guy. To ask more is too much at this stage I agree. He’s a ton better offensively than the past but not there.

Conley is old at this point. Doesn’t have the same burst he used to. It’s why I wished we’d taken our lumps early getting more minutes for TSJr JC and Dilly to see if they could be the point that can open things up
 

the Bucks' biggest fourth-quarter comeback since at least 1996-97, when the NBA began tracking play-by-play data. The Bucks had lost the last 276 regular-season or playoff games in which they had fallen behind by at least 20 points in the fourth quarter.
 

"If the Wolves lose the 4th quarter by 23 points, they are in fourth place today. Instead now they are in eighth place."
- Britt Robson

How does that level of dysfunction happen to a professional team with so much at stake.
 





Please Timberwolves don't blow this lead tonight. Wolves up 16.

52 points for the Wolves so far in the 3rd QTR. Finish this one off Wolves.

After 3. 119-97 Wolves. Can we finish this one.

Even winning is borderline maddening. Jaden takes an absolute terrible 3. Randle gives up the ball with only one player on him and Ant falls asleep again. Three bonehead plays in a row.

Edit: They hung on. Win the next two and everything will be alright.

MEM@DEN tonight could be the biggest game of the season thus far with so much at stake and so many other teams affected by the outcome.
 



If the Wolves beat UTA on Sunday, they can finish no lower than the 6 Seed and a matchup with the NBA Lakers. The big game is LAC@GSW:

* If MIN and LAC win, the Wolves are the 6 Seed.

* If MIN and GSW win, the Wolves are the 5 Seed.

* If MIN and GSW win and DEN loses, the Wolves are the 4 Seed.

Your statement is 100% accurate but it was a really weak Tech for NBA standards. Getting a bad rep among officials has consequences.

I actually wouldn't be completely surprised if the NBA rescinds it today. Of course, if the Wolves end up facing the Lakers in Round One, the NBA probably increases the suspension to five (5) games.

I didn't see the play last night so I'll take your word for it. The reputation is well deserved. unfortunately.

It was very weak for a tech. But it's his fault for putting himself (and the team) in that position in the first place.

You reap what you sow but as a Ref, it better be something pretty egregious considering the timing and what's at stake.

From what Jim Pete was saying, it sure sounded like this particular ref doesn't put up with anything. I'd wager this was communicated beforehand, but Edwards just can't seem to help himself.
