Free Throws and rebounding. I can live with that shot from Zach. He was on fire and has hit those shots in the clutch before.

I certainly feel like our biggest hole is shooting. I'd address that first. The rebounding and such can be improved to a degree internally. It will cost us some games but not nearly as much as our inability to space the floor and hit threes. If we had reliable shooting we could be flirting with the 8th seed right now.

Where's this been all season, Lavine?!

A lot of our defense issues are experience based (team defense), size/strength (youth) and unity (coaching)...some will improve over time, but getting a big that does those things would make us a playoff team next year.

What? Towns does those things already. Weird priority.

I'm actually thinking the other way around.

My biggest gripe with Mitch right now is his stubborn determination to start Prince all season long. For the love of god just start Lavine or Shabazz already.

I understand his reasoning, but I'm starting to think it's time for a switch as well. Personally, I'd start Muhammad.

Well, was a close game against a team on a back-to-back.

That last night won in OT against the powerful team called the Knicks without the role player Carmelo, but with the veteran player Porzingis and the superstar Derrick Williams.

Solid attempt. 7/10.

I wonder if people seeing the growth from the young players? Or are they going to keep saying that there hasn't been any development.

I'll bet my first born that Zach starts soon that with that Sam Mitchell favoritism.

I agree. Prince is a good team defender, but he doesnt rebound at all. And with wiggs not rebounding at a good rate, kat needs help.

Kat and wiggs have been great moving the ball this past month, i think giving them an outlet is a good idea. Bazzy doesnt need to dominate the ball, he is active and knows where to spot up. He isnt an average defender, but hid rebounding should help team defense.

Lavine as great as he shot tonight is just more comfortable getting his own points. Instead of trying to change zach, id just let him be himself; a comboguard gunner.

Like who ? Lavine ?
You have your chance tonight.

(But don't talk about the last 10 games of Lavine. Shhhhhhhhh)

I understand that point, and agree that Towns does those things, but would I see him as a 4. He shouldn't have to grind games at C.

Do you want Towns at center?
