On today’s episode, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun talk about the Minnesota Timberwolves losing in similar fashion to the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings before going over an uninspiring victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
— Wolves coach Chris Finch spoke about every loss feeling the exact same way, “Listen, it’s like Groundhog Day. We’re playing the same game every night. We get down, fight back, run out of gas, can’t close. That’s what we’ve been doing.”
— Are the issues facing the Timberwolves more about the mental side of the ball or are the Xs and Os of the team and the roster more to blame for the Wolves recent four-game losing streak?
— Anthony Edwards gave many illuminating answers about the current state of the team after the loss to the Kings. He said they have not been listening to the coaches’ game plan, are acting like front runners, have their own agendas, and it has felt like people are growing apart in the locker room.
— The Wolves snuck out a win against the Clippers 93-92. Could this be a turning point for the Wolves or just a necessary win to snap the losing skid?
— Edwards has struggled with his shot as of late, shooting 35.8 percent over the last three games. Is this something Wolves fans should be worried about?
— Rob Dillingham was left out of the rotation against the Clippers. Finch said after the game it was mostly due to wanting to avoid the matchup with James Harden who likely would have forced the Wolves rookie to guard the pick-and-roll on every possession.
— Nickeil Alexander-Walker has given the Wolves exactly what the Wolves have needed all year and is the Apex Alpha of the week.
— Wolves have the rest advantage over their opponent in the next three games, time to take advantage of the other team being tired.
— Minnesota was eliminated from the Emirates NBA Cup. They will play two games next week, a home and an away game with those matchups to be announced later this week.
