Got home to watch after halftime, and Wolves have gotten worse since the beginning of this season. I was thinking they just need to build chemistry earlier this year, but this team just seems not interested in playing hard to win at this point.
There are going to be times when shooters go cold, but you can't excuse dumb and no effort defense. Randle played drop back perimeter defense on shooters like Trae Young and Steph Curry late in the game. Just about every team in the league has a player or multiple that would have a field day on that drop back perimeter defense and witnessed it but still do not have the energy or mindset to Hassell those shooters.
I think we got to bring in the hungry younger guys at some point. Dillingham, Minott, TJ, Dozier, and Garza. Garza should get heavy center minutes and Gobert less because I know Garza can give us more than 2 points in 28 mins. He can stretch the defense and provide more energy.
I think keeping above .500 this month and get some win streaks next year will be what it takes to qualify for playoffs. These next few games mean a lot. It will be too late soon in the west if they don't figure things out soon.
