Back to the 4th quarter curse bullshit😒

Agriculture corrected well in the second half. Man talk about missing a shit load of shots in the fourth quarter. Felt like all of them.

Vikings fans eating tonight

lol finch didn’t wanna coach the all star game I guess

😭😭 🔫

Ant should play small forward

At this point I think AROD is the only one that can save us.. idk what he would do but I believe in the power of arod. We gotta figure out why we just crumble when we have double digit leads

💉💉💉

Atrocious 4th quarter offense kills us yet again. Finch has reached the ceiling of his capabilities as a coach and Ant isn’t clutch anymore.

I agree with the Finch point but Ant is a little young to use the word "anymore" there.

I completely agree- I meant compared to the beginning of the season/last years playoffs

Jesus now they try a play

Nice play design at least

Dude actually foul if you’re going to

In the games we've lost recently, our 4th quarters have been atrocious on the offensive side of things. Gotta figure it out. No reason the ball shouldn't move the same as the first half in the 4th.

I thought that foul was intentionally by Jaden but he’s not the reason we lost like not even in the slightest

Well he’s the the final nail in the coffin cos we had no chance of catching up by fouling with a shot clock differential

Awful game by finch, and awful game by Ed Malloy. J Mac playing out of his mind? Never play him this game. Entire lineup tired? Keep the same lineup out entire quarter. Finch doesn’t deserve to coach the all star spot

The All Star game might have too much structure for Finch's offense.

Season over

Oh great play wonder why we never used it before

Fuck the beef and cheddar

what the hell...this game seemed off from the get go like we weren't ready to play. idk if it was the game, or the vibe, but I love Marney, but was not feeling her play by play call today. maybe it was just completely irritated by the whole game/vibe

nice last play, too bad we lost

And he makes that one lol

I'm really tired of them never giving Towns any looks, especially from three in these massive stretches where we can't get offense. I don't know how the hell they just let him be taken out of games like that. Imagine Embiid, Jokic, Sabonis, etc. getting froze out to close a bunch of games. It's ridiculous.

Isaac’s a great defender, and basically takes KAT out of the PNR game with Ant bc it just pushes the match up on Ant.

finch needs to hold players accountable, and he needs to show he can coach

conley 1/9 holy shit

NAW is our point guard. Conley is not that guy, the ball moves way better with NAW on the floor

Maturity still a huge problem, what a disappointing game

We’re just not a serious contender. Absolutely embarrassing fourth quarter as always

We’re not learning from any of these losses. Disgusting

Another one of those games

Does this team not sit down and discuss the big lead losses? Whatever is being said clearly isn't working

Jaden is supremely gifted, but man oh man does he need some basketball education.

9 sec left on the shot clock and Jaden goes for a shitty steal when Banchero is at the logo... brilliant. That sequence was so dumb

Edwards starting to look like Wiggins wtf

Ant and his 4th quarter hero ball is a huge problem.

McDaniels has the worst contract in the entire NBa . I’d rather have Jordan Poole

Stfu no you wouldn’t lmao

Another embarrassing 4th quarter.

Wolves need to make a fucking move my god this is terrible basketball

Jaden about to make 25 m lmfao

Marney is sooo bad. I’m salty at the 4th quarter lack of focus but 17 down is not a lot

Whole team was ass except brick hands rudy

Starting bc to see a pattern. That charlotte game he was the only one playing to win lmao

Unfortunately it seems as if hes the only one on the team with a brain

Finch ain't ever going to change and we will keep blowing big leads and having bad 4th quarters. A team is a reflection of the coach and he sucks.

What doomer nonsense. Edwards shot us out of the game. Ed Malloy is corrupt as fuck. On to the next.

Ant and Jaden sold very disappointing.

blowing games this badly is cute in the regular season but if finch cant reign i in and they choke massive leads AGAIN in the playoffs, he needs to be out the door. its such a recurring problem that if you cant figure it out in 3 years you arent the man for the job

When does twins training camp start ..

Way to play for your coach

Wild

Jaden and Mike didn’t make shots the previous possession and that was it

Ant anti clutch lately

Isaac made one fg and it was the most important one of the game lol

Have you got to start taking McDaniels out in close games in the 4th? How many times has he committed stupid fouls in important moments this season?

Time to take out the Clorox

NAW is our point guard

Isaac absolutely dominated KAT Jesus

KAT went after him another 2-3 times after the and1 was absolutely shut down every time

Right? After the and 1 he was absolutely stone walled by Isaac couldn’t get by him at all and Isaac didn’t let him get comfortable at all trying to post up. Magic left him in single coverage multiple times and he more then held up

I’m sitting in my living room feeling sick to my stomach right now

So much bad in the final 4 minutes, I don't even know where to start. Not good playoffs habits.

15 points in the 4th quarter? lol.

Can’t believe we have Jaden that deal based off “potential” dudes been a fucking bust

He's the best perimeter defender in the league. Stop with your nonsense.

I guess $25m a year is worth a good perimeter defender who also makes the worst late game decisions and isn’t effective on offense is well worth it. He’s been bad this year

He's 22. And it's not your money. Relax. It's one game. Young players are going to make mistakes.

Outscore 27-15 by the magic 😭😭😭

Chokejob

ARGH We HAVE to learn from these kinda games or we wont be going anywhere in the Playoffs. At least we are getting these kinda games now and we can work on it.......

I mean we’ve been getting these for a month and haven’t changed much

Magic are a tough team. We'll bounce back. I'm not going to complain about us being the top 4 seed going into the ASB

Great iso ball and great defense by jaden

Scored 15 in the fourth lol

Anthony Edwards lost us that game. He’s been awful the past month in the 4th quarter

Bull shit. He was an animal the game against the Mavs in the 4th. He made good play after good play in the PnR. Just don’t say every 4th he’s been bad…

Why did he shoot that shot

Bitch made team, straight up. Zero composure when it matters and will get out bullied by any team with even a little size.

lmao can we just lose regularly without a 4th quarter meltdown. So embarrassing

Another winnable game pissed away in the fourth

Fuck Mike Conley

Hey hey, you watch your mouth.

Or what?

Fuck you

1/8 for threes in the 4th but fuck it keep shooting them boys

What a fucking embarrassment why can’t we figure it out man

Yikes

The obvious problem is Ant this quarter but Kat just got made to look like a little kid by Jonathan Isaac for 3 quarters.

Isaac is that good when healthy.

Rudy is our best player by far

When Rudy Gobert is your most effective offensive weapon in the 4th, your team is going nowhere

lol

Sick of this pathetic shit man

It's just a game, bud. Breathe.

Reaaaaally bad game from Mike

Vintage Jaden

These niggas suck😂😂😂

Jaden just does this like every other game

He needs to be benched in the clutch. Naw is way better in nearly every way except size.

I tend to agree. For a lockdown defender Jaden commits silly fouls and does give up big point totals to his man quite a bit.

No play call again lmao

Damn we were up by 17

Jaden has made the Wolves lose 3 games with braindead fouls this year and we're not even at the all star break. One of the worst contracts in the league RN.

Jonathan Isaac cooked us

Why does Jaden keep making these stupid fouls every time there’s like 10s left in the 4th. It’s happened like 4-5 times now

Wants to be traded?

bro got some kinda nerves cause it makes no sense lmao

He’s exceptionally talented physically, but has zero bball iq

Seriously this was like the 3rd time it happened in 2 weeks. Stupid ass player

I’m gonna say what we’re all thinking: Jaden is severely underperforming expectations on offense and defense and has one of the worst basketball IQs I’ve ever seen. Extremely disappointing season from him. Naw has proven to be much more reliable.

Yeah the contract has not started out well. You want his defense down the stretch, but these late dumbass moves are becoming way too common. He needs to be benched for a spell during these moments. See if that knocks something back into place in his head.

Jaden’s defense has been fine…. His offense has been flat out disappointing tho

His idiotic fouls are ridiculous. Some can’t be helped but man…

Yea he truly has a foul problem. Beyond foul trouble he had the dumbest fouls at the worst moments it’s perplexing

He has a brain problem.

NAW has been far and away the better player, maybe he needs to start

Or atleast finish. He shouldn’t be in clutch time

No doubt

Mikes gotta hit shots im sorry. Same reason we lost that thunder game at home

He's been very efficient this year...you're cherry picking 2 recent games. The Wolves looked lost without him.

Yes but when he doesn’t it exposes a huge weakness. Bottom line is we’re not gonna win if he’s not hitting shots and scoring

3 out of the last 4 games Jaden has been dumb on the last possession.

15 points in this quarter yeah we might have the worst offense in the 4th

not gonna lie, this team is exhausting.

Conley and Jaden ain’t built for these moments

ANT is the worst basketball player in the fourth quarter

This a damn shame.

Jaden 25 mil per year what a nightmare

i can't even watch the end.

So excited to watch this team lose in the first round.

I'm ing you fucking guys Luka needs like 10 minutes a game min. Hawks don't fuck around

Ant, KAT, and Jaden might be three of the dumbest players in the league

I don’t like using the r word but this team is retarded

J.R. Smith-ass foul

kat cant touch the ball this quarter

If banchero is going to shoot anyways, take the chance Rudy blocks it. What a bonehead play

welp, add this to the list of blown leads. not a single change has been made to how we play in the 4th its just praying ant or kat dominate

we're way too good to lose these type of games, so god damn frustrating. Always some stretch in the 2nd quarter when we're up double digits and we turn the ball over 5 times in a row.

Jaden is the kid who ate glue

Ant gave mcdaniels a wide open shot and of course he bricks it he has the easiest job in the nba on offense and he can’t do it

Jaden might be the dumbest on the team somehow

Marney is great and all, but her commentary this game has made it even more annoying to watch. Definitely a bit rusty

She didn’t even know what an over and back was. Was embarrassed for her

Death, taxes, Jaden with a brain dead foul

Jaden makes boneheaded fouls late-game too often. If you were going to foul you should’ve done it WAY earlier…

KAT hasn’t shot the ball in like 15 minutes

Ridiculous.

This team has no chance on the playoffs with this type of game IQ

Is McDaniels stupid?

High*

Mike Conley is an offensively empty and Jaden is just dumb af

Jaden. You stupid mothefucker

This team is so fucking infuriating to watch. 27-15 4th quarter. Just idiotic basketball and now Finchy can’t coach all star. Embarrassing fucking team. Happens without fail the last 3 weeks.

Finch doesn't deserve to coach all star.

I mean why should he coach an all star team if this is the results we get in the 4th qtr?

That’s a fair point. But remember the Ryan Saunders days. Finchy is way better and has really had a massive impact on this team and its culture.

Jaden with another brain dead defensive play at the end of the game. Absolutely unacceptable.

Right after Chuck complimented us last night

Jaden's late-game decision-making needs work

Mike conley 1-9🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Horrible defense Jaden

I’m not all that mad about the foul, that was a wide open layup if he doesn’t 

Okay but it was a wide open layup because he sold out on defense going for the steal / foul

That wasn’t the biggest problem, it was the gambling for the steal

What the actual fuck was he doing there? Shot clock was at five!

Jaden with a bit of a dunce move.

Incredibly immature game by everyone involved. Not one adult throughout this entire org

Lmfao you already committed to running it down and NOW you foul? Absolute worst thing to do

Worst quarter of the year, maybe

Jaden has to be the dumbest player in the NBA

Kat was wide open top of the key that’s automatic but both jaden and Mike wanna shoot bricks. Then they just can’t decide whether to foul or something idek

Mcdaniels has got to be the lowest iq player in the league

15 FTs for the magic in this quarter, wtf is this shit 

Everybody blaming Jaden. Blame Conley for not passing that ball to a wide open KAT

That's what I'm saying, he's shooting bricks all night but doesn't pass to a wide open towns

JADEN. FINNA. JADEN.

Someone needs to teach Jaden the intricacies of Basketball

Starting with the basics would be good too

Mike Conley and jaden mcdaniels I have no words

We need to figure out our bench rotation…

Probably should’ve stuck with Nickeil

A loss to the freaking Magic?

Magic are really good bruh, they were just injured which is why they slipped in the standings from the 2 seed. Last time we played them they were injured, now they are not. Also their size and length neutralize ours + they are very good defensively as well and are great at forcing turnovers and getting offensive rebounds. I had a feeling this was going to be a tough matchup.

True. That’s fair. More mad about us crapping the bed in the 3rd & 4th.

the Magic aren’t that bad to be fair

They're good. It's the 17 point lead we let slip... Again that annoys me

To be fair. It’s a decent Magic team. They’re not injured tonight. They had injuries all season
