Bad Shots = Blown Leads

The Timberwolves are notorious for shooting themselves out of leads with almost coach fireable levels of bad decision.

They somehow did it TWICE in one game.

Up 20 plus and with a talented 5 they ran virtually no half court offense to speak of. It was run down the court make one pass and hoist a 3. How Finch didn't stop that before it got as far as it did is incredible.

A tale of 2 halves might sound like a cliché....but that's exactly what this game 3 was.
Memphis seemed disinterested for the 1st 24 min...then woke up and just flat out wanted it more, and took over when it mattered.

His no comment post game rubbed me the wrong way. You done nothing in the playoffs. Media deserves a legit answer of why you are always ass

Harden has been pretty good. He’s not Harden anymore but he’s been really solid and that’s what they need.

I’m talking about his past of disappearing in playoff games obviously

Not at all. He's immature as hell. And he hasn't played a game he's capable of in 4 playoff games (1 play in) and he's been downright trash in 3 of them.

Who's to blame more for the timberwolves historic collapse, the players or the coaching staff?

He was a defensive monster last night but his offense was Simmonesque.

Damn, the Timberpups didn't have just one epic collapse, they had 2 of them in the same game.

Buy one, get one free. lol

Coaching imo.

This dude legit said just go home and drink some wine.

He's entirely unlikable. My goodness.

Likely a little of both, but moreso on the players. We don't know what adjustments the coaching staff tried to make that either didn't work, or the players didn't execute.

They're a young team that got 2 huge leads at home and blew them both because they decided the game was over. It happens...not usually twice in the same game, but it happens.

If they learn from it, it could end up being a positive for them.
