2nd half spread is Minnesota -3.5.... thoughts?!?
I don’t bet against my team but if I did… I’d bet that the Wolves outscore us by more than 4 in the second half but who knows maybe they take a cushion similar to what they have into the fourth and the scrubs from both teams play pretty even from there.
 
I don't understand what the offense is trying to do. Or is it trying to do anything?

Priority 1 should be getting Grant and Simons open 3-point attempts. All the players should help to make that happen.

Run as many screens and pass the all as much as it takes.

Simons has 1 three-point attempt. That's a failure of the offense.
 
They both had 3 fouls. It’s either choose to sit them now or have them foul out and be forced to play small down the stretch. Both bigs are rookies and can’t be trusted to stop fouling against crafty bigs like KAT and Gobert.

We get you don't like Billups, but had he left in a center who got their 4th foul, you would've been on him for leaving a guy in with 3 fouls.
so killing the first peep of momentum this team has had in 3 games, is worth it to prevent possible foul trouble in the 2nd half? That's "good" coaching... allrighty then

Why are we worried about "down the stretch" when we'll be down 30 down the stretch?

Because there is no system
 
i don't think so? LaMar was freaking out for no reason. He's getting a bit paranoid.

He was on the bench talking to the team doc

I wouldn't have complained either way because it doesn't really matter. I get the feeling you would've complained either way.

It would be better if you said a move was wrong when it happens, not wait until a run happens to retroactively point out it was a bad move.

Maybe he’s coaching like we could be in the game. I guaranfuckingtee if we were within ten in the fourth and both guys were fouled out you and a bunch of others would be killing Chauncey for that.

You guys are complaining about Chauncey just coaching the way every coach is supposed to on this one. Plenty of shit to complain about regarding his coaching maybe stick to the shit that makes sense.

maybe that's part of the problem? Coach is just coaching normal, as if his team isn't getting slaughtered and badly needs leadership.
 
the T-Wolves are locked in on Anfernee, he just can't get much of anything going.

Seriously I’m done with this bullshit. Sitting two rookie bigs with three fouls and going small because you don’t have any other bigs isn’t a bad coaching move and that includes tonight. No need to reply because I’m sick of these nonsensical takes.

Ant has missed some that he usually makes as well. They’re taking the ball out of his hands and when they don’t I feel like they might be in his head.
