Game 56: Timberwolves at Bulls, 7:00 pm CST

[_AIJ_]

Name a much worse player than Naz Reid??

[Dewey]

How does a team of professionals let an opponent shoot 63%? Embarrassing.
After an embarrassing defensive performance against a team with 3 new players who didnt have one practice together.

I don't think our players think like that and unsure what Finch might communicate to them after the game. I have little confidence we will finish .500 unless we play enough injury riddled teams…

[Howard Cosell]

Karl-Anthony Towns, when discussing the defense: "I'm tired. I'm physically and mentally tired."

Well Gupta didn’t get you another big body…didn’t get you any help…and it seems most posters here are just fine with Twolves complacency.

Incredible.

Also, does anyone know why Nowell isn't playing anymore?

Nowell is banged up with a lower leg issue. Finch has had a quick hook with him of late which might be a defense issue. That's my impression. It surprises me because he isn't a bad defender overall. I have high hopes for him.

In addition, JMac and Beasley had been so hot during the Wolves winning streak, leaving fewer minutes.
