Went to bed at 6pm yesterday. Woke up to President Trump and the Wolves lost to the ****ing nets. Non-zero chance i'm actually still asleep.

I haven't watched the games. Is the team just flat out bad defensively like last year? What is it exactly?

They dont look as awful defensively all the time, but they gave up way too many easy shots last night. Terrible effort.

There are huge stretches where it's a layup line.

Teams also go through ridiculous stretches where they cannot miss.

I guess good defensively, bad offensively? I think for a rookie pg you would prefer that over the reverse but I could be wrong.

Great defensively, unplayable zero on offense.

When Ricky comes back I think Tyus gets Dunn's minutes.

I don't agree that he's unplayable offensively at all. He's a capable rim finisher and can penetrate well. He's obviously still getting used to the speed of the NBA, but that's at least in part because he's played 7 games. It's an old adage that rookie PGs take awhile to develop, I'm not overly concerned.

I intentionally didn't list his offensive weaknesses because they seem obvious to me, but of course he has a horrible TS% and he's turning the ball over way too often.

He cannot penetrate well. He can't get by anyone, even with a screen.

He does pass pretty well. But he doesn't create.

Wiggins has some pretty terrible shot selection so far this game.

Towns has been frustrating to watch this year. I feel like he is trying too hard on offense and not hard enough on defense. all he has to do is work hard and make the simple play and his talent is enough. he's been a fumble machine lately.

Lavine is awesome - he's become a legit good player.
Wiggins also continuing to improve

Wiggins is a monster sometimes

Lavine out, Towns sucked, hop on Andrew's back.

Lavine has a bad looking limp. I heard he has jumper's knee. Could be out for a few weeks.

Bjelly at the 3 worked pretty darn well! If we're playing against a 3 he can guard, why not? No way he can be worse at guarding 3s than Bazz anyway.

Since we live in the age of petitions, we should start a petition to remove the third quarter from NBA games.

Wiggins and lavine are awesome. if this year Wiggins is for real and he can really shoot like this it's going to be fun.

Defense is bad. KAT hasn't been good - needs to focus on D for now
