Game 73 : Timberwolves vs Suns, 7:00 pm CST

I thought Book Dlo and KAT were friends, did something happen? Probably CP3

I dont follow this **** but apparently karl is dating bookers ex. Their women are feuding or something. Idk if it's just for tv but they were all bffs in years past.

I thought she was Tristan Thompson's ex?

Or is it one of those women that just moves from one NBA player to the next?

I believe Tristan Thompson was with Khloe Kardashian and cheated with Karl's girlfriend before it was his girlfriend. Booker's girlfriend is Khloe's sister.

I'm so embarrassed to have that knowledge, but they have a lot of the Kardashian BS on the yahoo front page.

Dont know why KAT wasn’t guarding Ayton in the first place. He got in to foul trouble anyway? What could be the difference? I blame coach for this loss. Couldve played Nowell a bit more too and less DLo tonight

Kat gets in foul trouble every night, Knight isn't getting any playing time, and we still haven't utilitzed our last roster spot to pick up an spare big. Not sure what to think. Meanwhile, Ayton and Powell have career nights against us in consecutive games.

Credit to Ayton too, he obliterated us. We cannot handle these bigs, pretty large issues for us.

It's the massive drawback to Towns.

He lost what little bulk he had (I get it's not entirely his fault, but still) so he can't deal with bulky bigs. He's not quick enough to defend the perimeter full or even part time, so pushing him to PF doesn't work. And he doesn't have the IQ to play drop coverage, so unless we want to run 2 different defensive systems we can't bring in any bulky Cs to play with Towns (since they'd suck in our blitz scheme).

It's a giant catch 22 that I'm not sure how we fix. Short of a PF that can handle bulky bigs and also defend on the perimeter? I feel like that's a unicorn though.

KAT wasn't guarding Ayton for most of that. It was Vando and smaller guys on our team. We don't have any size and physicality inside, Towns is the best at that and he is still smaller than the bigger bigs.

If we had another physical inside guy, I think that helps a lot of that, we need our own McGee type of guy to bring in and bang sometimes but we don't have that. Ayton destroyed us on the glass and someone who had size and could contend with him other would have been very helpful.

Towns has actually be pretty solid in the perimeter this season.

This. We need to be consistent at boxing out, tag rolling big, read and react instead of overreacting. Size does help. But until we find bigger wings and С, we need to be consistently better at rebounding, fighting for position.

I’m going to have to build another spreadsheet.

I dont understand all these players going after the same girls.

Right? It's crazy, they have damn near limitless options yet they go after the same complicated women. Boggles the mind. Status is a hell of a drug I guess.

I suppose when you're rich and famous and you're "on the prowl" the ones that rises above others are those already with some clout. If you do a very quick IG search of the girls these youngish NBA players are with, they are all hot and they already have some level of following. And the girls are somewhat used to the attention or are looking for the attention so they won't be scared off the the publicity that comes with dating an NBA player unlike say a random hot girl you might see shopping at Walmart or whatever who isn't necessarily looking for that publicity or want that attention.

I also do believe that there's a level of ego that comes with NBA and other sports tars and the "baddies" with the most clout are generally the most desired and it's a win if you can get them.

He's solid in the blitzing scheme. That doesn't mean he can cover full time 4s.

Otherwise I think I addressed everything you brought up in my post you quoted.
