    Derrick Rose hitting a fall away 3 going out of bounds when he has shot 23% all year.

    It's that kind of night, I guess.

    Hit the reset, come back ready for Game 4. Hopefully they dont allow tonight to effect the next one.

    They are on fire because they are shooting drill shots that are wife ****ing open.


    They are NBA level players. Our defense has been atrocious.

    We've been doubling Towns and leaving their shooters open. Tonight Towns did a good job of recognizing the open men.

    wolves are 6-6 from 3 in the 4Q, some contested, some by trash shooters, while eric gordon and harden out here missing open 3's smh.

    credit to the minny home crowd though, nice atmosphere but it ends here...

    They is reason for concern, not one good game yet. All of a sudden the effort goes up in the last 8 minutes when they are down?

    I disagree, nice rose colored glasses though. We will not get past the second round if Harden and Paul both pull disappearing acts for two games a piece.

    This loss is a good wake up call. Reminds me of the 2015 Warriors first run. They were down in both the Memphis and Cleveland series.

    More than half of their 3s were open. Law of averages or not, it's not a good defensive game plan.

    You got problems if effort is a problem in the friggin postseason.

    I think we’ll advance too. But the Rockets have been very mediocre since we clinched the 1 seed. Offense looks weak.

    Some of you guys are so dramatic lol. I get it was a frustrating game but the Wolves shot like 60% from 3. Not happening again
