Who ever is being guarded by Russell will have opportunities. If possible, he's even worse in man defense that his Laker days.

Wolves fan with two questions.

1. How good are your two way players?
2. How healthy are Lebron and AD? I try to keep up with injuries but I saw them both on the injury report as day to day and I was surprised James was on there.

Keep stacking them Ws. Everybody buried this team too quickly, defense looking suffocating again, just need to get a little more consistency from the offense.
Numbers rule the universe.

Jesus Christ, Bazemore is so bad. Misses an easy lay-up and then gives up an and one on back to back plays

And neither one will and no other Center will any more either, But I'd totally choose him over AD if given the chance

Yeah, this is what happens when you have 3 superstars that are ABSOLUTELY no threat from the 3 point line. This **** is predictable. Get rid of WestTrash...

you have 2 guys shooting nearly 70% in the paint on the floor and we are chucking 35% 3's possession after possession. We're lucky the Wolves are as dumb.

As much as I hate to say this we might as well put in IT. At least he’s playing for a contract and will play with purpose.

The one that can't is told by his coach to shoot 5 a game if memory serves.... while he's shooting 70% at the hoop. Seems a coach could do that math.
