I thought the Wolves defense in the 2nd half of the 3rd was really good. And they didn't even have Gobert on the floor.

Landale hasn’t exactly been a floor spacer

The all bench lineup didn’t cut it tonight

It took Monty way too long to recognize that. And it shouldn't be a thing...especially to start the 4th quarter.

Cam Payne needs to quit acting like he’s J Kidd with them cross court passes.

Looked like alot of tentativeness from the bench on offense in the third. No one really wanted a shot which led to uncomfortable shots and turnovers

I need one of you to explain to me why Monty keeps trying to make a full bench five man rotation a thing. In the fourth quarter of a close game you should never have both Paul and Booker sitting at the same time. The bench coughed up a fairly big lead.

I get what the announcers were saying about Monty wanting the bench to learn how to do stuff on their own…but maybe just need the non CP3/Book players to learn. Don’t need to stagger CP3/Book, but maybe put Mikal or CamJ out there with the bench.

Teaching moment…this game doesn’t actually matter, gotta see if the bench can swim on their own. I’d like Mikal or CamJ out there to see what they can do.

Fouled out Booker on that garbage? :roll:

Edit: OK, just 5.

Cam Johnson's mom is not gonna be happy. Game-high 26 points, but 0 rebounds.

I guess Shamet isolating on Edwards isn’t a good strategy…CamJ from 3 is though

CP3 is surgical. Dude moves at half speed and sets up his teammates.

KAT and Cam Payne have the same shooting rhythm, that is, they just fling it up half of the time.

Encouraging to see Paul hit those last two shots
