I have been saying for weeks he reminds me of Wiggins. Difference is Wiggins was better.

Idiot Edwards keeps chucking 3s. Dude doesnt know what a good shot is. Holy ****. Zero bbiq at all, we do not deserve this. We are so screwed and we have no choice because we are tied to this cursed team. ****. Me.

All I can do is tune out and be disappointed by Rosas. Right now the team is totally in the dumpster, he bought himself time to clean it up, if I don't see some kind of improvement by next season, it's probably time to go. You can't come in here and drag this franchise and fanbase down like this after they have already been beaten to a pulp. Just a truly awful product is being put out there, they don't deserve the attention or money right now.

I remember some of you telling me to watch the Australia games for proof and I just couldn't get them or maybe I just didn't believe enough to bother enough.

But I only wanted a trade down for Haliburton or S. Bey and a 2021 frp.

It is sad that every year there are nobodies posting better plans then whoever the recent pobo/gm of this team ends up doing. I'm really questioning the evaluating decisionmakers and coaching of this regime lately.

I expect that of forum posters, because nobody has time, but man.... this team just sucks.

I was FAR more hopeful during literally every other year of this franchise’s history. I guess we hope that magically the stars align with health next season, and the terribly flawed roster is awesome?

If rosas didn't do the wiggins trade, imo lamelo was the pick.

I just want to see a stretch of 10-15 games with a healthy and available roster. One good stretch to evaluate.

How’s it going guys? Haven’t watched a second

Jedzz · Post #109 » by **Jedzz** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 3:16 am

When I started watching in the third Ant was shooting like 12% or something and Rubio had more shot attempts and a great percentage going. Now, Ant has more shot attempts because...the new coach is an idiot?

Curently in 4th
Rubio 7-11 FG (63%) and 4-6 3FG (66%) - 23 minuters
Edwards 8-23 FG(35%) and 1-10 3FG(10%) - 33 minutes
:lol:

I don't think the new coach has anymore choice than Saunders did. Although there is Okogie DNP for once.

A Reddit user just posted that as of yesterday, the Wolves officially have the worst winning % in all of professional sports.

39.38% iirc.

At least Edwards is drowning in garbage time points, this season.

Glad we have something to rise to the rafters.

It’s all down to towns, Rosas is making dumb decisions to keep Towns happy.

The problem with Ant isnt so much all the stuff his game is still lacking, because thats somewhat to be expected at his age. The problem is that it seems like being picked at #1 and having all hype around him already went to his head, and he seems unwilling to understand he is a minor piece at this stage, and not the one who should take all those shots. Technique can be taught, but the mental development is hard, sometimes impossible.

_AIJ_ · Post #116 » by **_AIJ_** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 3:21 am

Ball
Beasley
Wiggins
Whoever
Towns

Is so much better than our current team

SCTwins · Post #117 » by **SCTwins** » Thu Mar 4, 2021 3:23 am

Being a fan of this team is like cheering for whoever the Harlem Globetrotters are playing and expecting them to win.

I wonder what Glen Taylor is up to tonight. All these changes in the FO, first round picks, new coaches..the result is being even worse than we were during our inaugural season.

I dont understand that comparison at all. Couldnt think of two more differnt guys than rookie Wiggins and rookie Ant. The result may look similar but the cure would be very different. Wiggins has developed into a solid player for the warriors.

Everyone stands around. Layman passes right back into it. Edwards playing hot potato. Rubio...Cross court to Reid man! Forget that junk.

Ant is better driving off the dribble by a wide margin. The rest I agree....for now. Melo has been playing with men for years. Melo is probably about as good as he's going to be. Ant OTOH has huge upside. He'll get there.

Ant is playing with very few veterans and with a team that has no identity or system. Cha has plenty of vets who let Melo fall back and fit in. Two very different situations.

Fans don't understand having a team of mostly 1st and 2nd yr players is impossible to be good.
