1. Gotta trade four players

2. I just rewatched the game this morning. Part of the problem is defensive intensity. Most of it is missed assignments and confusion on defensive rotations. Effort will not fix a lack of cohesion. Effort will not make up for not being on the same page as your teammate.

   Offensively the Timberwolves get a lot of open looks when the ball is rotating. Wolves players are just not good shooters. Jalen Clark missed all of his open 3's. I could say more but nobody even reads detailed comments so I'll end it here.

3. I like Karl but this is the result of having a guy like that be your “leader” for 10 seasons. I love Karl but the guy never cared enough about winning and as a result comes to nonchalant attitude with losing

4. Wolves lucked out last year catching GW injured. They need a talent upgrade to help Ant.

5. LOL, OKC diehard fan here. I don't care what happened to MIN… But, I think we can all stop any narrative that ANT is even close to SGA. Discipline and professionalism are characteristics that are as important as points, assists, and rebounds. It's not what you do, but when you do it in a game. ANT will never grow up and will become the most relevant "what could've been" in NBA history since Derrick Rose with Chicago or Zion Williamson, but for different reasons. Stick to the Sprite commercials… No one requires you to actually LEAD a team in fake commercials about a fictional character.

6. Thank you Ben for atleast acknowledging Chris Finch might be the problem. Part of coaching is pushing a few buttons getting guys engaged. Regardless of what Rudy and Donte said this is a bad low energy and effort loss, this is on the coach. If guys arent boxing out , closing out on shooters not running back on defense then they need to sit. He is quick to pull young players but allows veterans to play like trash. Its ok to lose but you cant lose with this bad energy and effort.

7. Respectfully watching that whole game Julius was not a stud his defense had to be the worst on the team he was getting attacked relentlessly

8. That's your leader? That's the head of the snake? Nah wonder ya so trash. No brain lulz. RIP

9. Yes, they played well in Chicago, but that was with no White or GIddey in the 2nd half. That game was competitive prior to the Bulls losing both of those guys. The comparisons to last year would be fine if it weren't for all the "continuity" crap we've heard. Last years slow start wasn't going to happen this year because these guys had a full camp together and well, continuity.

10. If you watch the Wolves warm up prior to the game, every game to be exact…you will see a sloppy, non-interested, non-dedicated, nor one single players dialed in mentally or physically. Trick shots, lazy energy and fooling around is the norm. Chris Finch allows this kind of mentality….and the team lacks drive and they look as if they are the best player ever to play.

11. it's ATL right before new year's eve.. they clearly didn't give a damn about basketball and were trying to get to their evening activities..

12. I blame everything on Finch he really sucks bad !!!!!! One of the worst coaches in the NBA . It's his fault we have no point guard ! It's his fault this team doesn't care about anything ! It's his fault Naz and Julius Randle don't work together! It's his fault this team has no heart ! The turnovers has been a problem since Finch got the job,that's coaching! And his fault he has ruined The point guard we drafted ! He just sucks at everything ! He should be fired!
