So it's not by there's no by no means a disaster or anything yet, but they have to start figuring things out and playing with more urgency.
Maybe seeing one of their favorite guys in Draymond on Friday will kickstart something.
But but it has been disappointing to this point that they are here, given the schedule they played and given how much continuity they have so far.
Right.
One thing on that, Dave, is that you do have to give them a little bit of the benefit of the doubt right now, because it is a team that historically over the last couple of years has figured out its faults.
flaws through the regular season and then hits the playoffs running.
And so I do think that this is a team that can figure the stuff out that is, that ails it.
And by the time the playoffs come around, they can be a really difficult matchup against most teams in this conference.
So there's no panic.
There's no, none of that going on, but it's still, you want to see a little bit more urgency, a little more energy out of them in a night in and night out basis.
Yeah, Dave, I mean, I was really surprised, to be honest, not certainly not that the Thunder won on their home floor and are going to the finals. But the Timberwolves typically this season have been a team that when their backs are against the wall, when the Nobody believes in them. That is when they offer their best performances.

And tonight was, I think, their worst performance of the entire season. They did not look prepared. They did not look ready to play. They didn't look like they had any answers for what the Thunder were throwing at them. And I do think it was more than just the Thunder being a great team, which they are. It just seemed like the Wolves... were not ready for this moment.

And so for them to get blown out so completely, for them to be never in the game from the very start, I think it's profoundly disappointing to have a performance like this in your most important game of the season.

Yes. You know, I think it's a couple of things. I remember last year when they lost to Dallas in the Western Conference finals. Ant said that one of his priorities was he's going to get in the best shape of his life because he wore down as those playoffs went along. And he was a little surprised at the grueling nature and the physical toll it takes to go that deep into the playoffs. Um,
