1/10: Wolves@Celtics

[osori]

You reach I teach!

 

[jablo1312]

I know KP is out but watching games like this gives me so much anxiety about facing miami in the playoffs

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Damaja!

 

[SteveF]

This is definitely the wrong call. It's off holiday for sure.

 

[bankshot1]

Calls are starting to get into the Cs heads.

As we learned last night Celt heads are fair game for incidental contact and incompetent refs

 

[SteveF]

Minnesota is 5/6 from 3 this quarter. So that's basically the difference between this and the first half.

 

[128]

Minnesota is 5/6 from 3 this quarter. So that's basically the difference between this and the first half.

C's inability to get stops in the past two games is a little worrisome.

 

[bigq]

This a damn good game. Complete street fight.

Games is verging on unwatchable.

Half full or half empty?

 

[128]

Another lost third quarter for the C's.

 

[TripleOT]

Itdrives me crazy that they don’t take a foulwhen they have one to waste on the last possession

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Seems like Minnesota might be one of the worst if not the worst matchup in the league for us.

 

[soxin6]

It is frustrating that the Cs have no option B when they are not making 3s. It continues to be a problem.

Thats on Joe, IMO.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Celtics are actually playing ok defense. They need to keep doubling Ant and hoping they can slow KAT. If Anderson or McLaughlin or Milton beats them, oh well. Obviously far easier said than done.

This is the TWolves playbook. Get into a handfight and let Ant pick the opposition apart.

 

[bankshot1]

Inquiring minds should ask, why is the 3rd qtr different than all other qtrs.

 

[Ale Xander]

Defensive rebounding has been an issue. -5 on true shot attempts.

Need to put in PP at C

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I want the C's to pick up the pace and test the legs of the Wolves coming off a BtB in the 4th quarter.

 

[LesterFan]

It is frustrating that the Cs have no option B when they are not making 3s. It continues to be a problem.

I mean they're 12/33 which is basically right on their season average. They're just straight up getting beat.

 

[SteveF]

Did we have a foul to give? I thought they were in the bonus.

 

[Ale Xander]

Are NBA refs just making shit up at this point?

I've never, in over 40 years of watching basketball, at any level, seen that call. It literally cannot be both.

“At this point?”

 

[mikeot]

Half full or half empty?

Tough battle dangerously close to descending into another refball shitshow.

 

[OnWisc]

Just nothing going down.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Tatum/Brown have 46 on 26 shots.

Rest of the team has 33 on 38 shots.

 

[dhellers]

I know KP is out but watching games like this gives me so much anxiety about facing miami in the playoffs

KP is crucial or this teams long term success.

And does DW need a day off... he seems less efficient

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Did they really just have a 5 on 3 beak and settle for a PP 3 from 4 feet behind the line?

 

[MyDaughterLovesTomGordon]

Will the Cs ever score again?

 

[128]

Naz Reid bitches on every call.

 

[SoxFanInPdx]

Half full or half empty?

I love this team. No matter of a stinker of a quarter they have. Team is so deep.

 

[osori]

WTF was Jaylen doing there on that defensive posession.

 

[bigq]

Sam the man!

 

[RSN Diaspora]

This is fuckin’ absurd

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Huge foul

 

[Deathofthebambino]

That was a beautiful play set up there. White/Kornet PnR, Hauser screens for Kornet on the roll and then pops out for the 3.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Every time I see Naz Reid, I wonder how he isn't winning 6th man of the year.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

The Brown-White sale line-up plays clamps D

 

[OnWisc]

Every time I see Naz Reid, I wonder how he isn't winning 6th man of the year.

Maybe that’s what he’s complaining about nonstop.

 

[JCizzle]

fukn JJ Redick

JJ is banned from this board. FUCK HIM!!!

 

[jablo1312]

naw was sitting all over that d-white spin move; and hauser chucking that contested above the break 3 is so gross. nice to see them get punched in the mouth by a real team, we'll see how they respond here.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

KP is crucial or this teams long term success.

And does DW need a day off... he seems less efficient

This is really it. They’re at a completely different level with KP. Without him they’re very good but not great.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Missed a couple shots, but this is the pace they need to get the tired legs.

Tatum should be back in after this TO.

 

[ObstructedView]

Thats on Joe, IMO.

The cheat code is KP. Hopefully he's on the court in the playoffs.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Tatum will go into kill mode with McDaniels anchored to the bench

 

[SteveF]

Minnesota has 4 turnovers in 78 possessions. They are at 15.76 per 100 on the year.

 

[128]

Tatum will go into kill mode with McDaniels anchored to the bench

Might be as much about getting stops at this point. Wolves are scoring pretty easily.

 

[PedroKsBambino]

Travel

 

[RSN Diaspora]

I swear every time we get a stop, we give the ball right back

 

[The Mort Report]

How do you miss that walk?

 

[The Mort Report]

Ant is so fucking good

 

[benhogan]

Wolves offense much more spread with Rudy not playing

 

[OnWisc]

Finch needs to get teed up. He’s on the court screaming in the middle of Celtics possessions.
