how is Minn still this bad? brand name coach, b2b ROY's and decent amt of young talent. They'll gona be the lotto forever, along with the Queens.

Rubio is injured and he's their offensive cog, as well as hugely important to their D, he's a top defensive PG. So they're playing a bunch of crappy rookies

the one win they had was without him, he was there the 1st 2-3 gm and they still weren't winning.

If this keeps up, gonna be funny the excuses that are made by people that were so certain the Lakers young core didn't even compare to the twolves.

He got hurt in their 2nd game lol, he's played 1 and a half games, and their 1 win was against a Gasol and Conley'less Grizzles

The Greek Freak lives up to his nickname. That guy is amazing.

we talking bout Rubio, not Westbrook here. They have 2 upper tier young guys with Kat and Wiggins, there shouldn't be anymore excuses.

I know its early and i've been only reading the forums the past few months, its quite comical to see Phi fans calling this team one of the least talented and it didn't compare at all to their stud filled roster ..........I wonder if Phi can out do themselves and brake their own 0-xxx start

[Wavy Q]

its not an excuse... its an explanation. They already have a terrible bench and losing a starter is just thrusting bad players into major playing time.

I mean **** go ask Wolves fans and i'd bet most of them agree losing Ricky is a huge issue. I'm not even calling him Westbrook, but on an extremely iso heavy team, losing your best facilitator is going to be problematic.

Fun fact, last year Rubio was the ONLY player on the Wolves with a positive +/-

[Slava]

Mudiay continuing where he left off last year with:

-6.8 offensive BPM,
75 offensive rating,
0.8 AST/TO ratio,
-24 net rating,
6 PER and
40% TS including
20% from 3
while being force fed a healthy 28% usage.

It is inexplicable how a team can allow a player with 75 offensive rating to draw 28% usage and 31 minutes a game.

Dude is not only the worst starter in the league but the worst player drawing any significant minutes.

Watch on YouTube

This person probably watches First Take And I guess the snitching narrative will never go away.

[DNP-Old]

Laker fans shouldn't be counting chickens just yet. I hope it continues but, Minn. started 8-8 last year. Its early. Enjoy the good games and remember how young they are in the less then good ones.

Joel Embiid is sick! Just nasty. Man I wish we could have gotten him.

man i hate to say this because I really like he's play and weird ass personality... but I still would be shocked if he's not a guy we end up saying 'too bad he was just never really healthy for long' about. I hope i'm wrong, but i'm not sad we haven't had to sit through 3 years of "when is he gong to play" only to say "man he better not go down now that he's playing well".

I don't need that kind of stress

[Danny Darko]

btw gordon is back and George Hill drops 23pts 9assists... that is your mip this year.

and Mario Hezonja... wow man he is sucktastic... i didn't think he would be.
