There is no way in hell we are going anywhere near the playoffs with Saunders as coach - We could have an All-Star team and he'd still find a way to **** it up

I liked how we played tonight.
Noticed that Lebron just said that Vando is too small to guard him.

Lebron, with 36 years, getting better...wow.

For the rotations talk, people do realize that it was Los Angeles' backups + LeBron vs. Minnesota's backups + Malik Beasley, right? At most, you would put Minnesota's starters back in a minute earlier, but they came in with 8:15 left in the quarter. I feel like people just don't want to acknowledge how terrible Minnesota's roster is.
If there is a criticism, it is that we need to get Towns involved WAY more earlier in games.

Got to keep KAT involved. I love what Edwards did tonight but we need to run more action too. I really dislike how we don't seem to execute plays down the stretch, we opt for iso ball and fail to get KAT going. Frustrating.

Team has improved, that's a big positive. We are better today than we were 30 days ago. Got to get Towns involved, got to hope Ant continues to be solid. I really hope we can bring in a starting vet PF.

This loss can be blamed pretty solidly on Saunders. He left the bench group in 3-4 minutes longer than any reasonable coach would have.

Towns cannot only have 10 shots. Just can’t happen. That’s on Saunders.

Looking at the box score, the starters hung with the Lakers starters in +/-
Edwards filled the stat sheet! 28 PTS, 5-for-10 3’s, 7 RB, 5 AST, 1 STL, 2 BLK

This! Ant is going to be the real deal, but I fear for a KAT trade demand in the offseason.
I love that core of KAT, Beas, Ant. Dlo is meh, but if it makes KAT happy.
I pray to god that we keep our pick.

One tiny victory for the Wolves is they made LeBron play 38 minutes tonight.

Not sure why Layman is riding pine.
while
Nowell is a nothing player, Okogie is still okogie and Beasley is leading the team in minutes and laying bricks all night.
Saunders is bad.

Been that way KAT's whole career, has never had a legit stretch of games where he was focal point in 4th qtr of competitive game

Crazy to think both Rubio and McLaughlin shot the ball more than Towns.

Beasley tried to force shots tonight...Lakers defended him well..he should be making better decision making. That stretch from the point when KAT went to bench in 3rd Qtr until when KAT returned back in 4th Qtr was just brutal..offense struggled, just couldn't get good looks.

KAT was harassed all game. No easy shots for him. 10 shots is unacceptable though

This is where the coach should be drawing up plays to get him space - But Ryan just looks lost when it comes to this element of coaching
