Teams don't even have to prepare for the Wolves right now and they're winning easily by double-digits almost every time.

Obviously, Towns will fix things. But even for all his own flaws... is it fair to ask THAT much of one player on this team?


You're inserting a top 15 player onto a team that needs a star..having a guy that defenses plan for makes everyones life easier on the court.

It just pisses me off that the season started the way it did, us holding on to beat Utah early in the season is exactly how I envisioned this team playing and KAT messes up his wrist then gets covid. You can't make this up

Sure. And Towns is an incredibly talented player who will help immensely. But when a team is built on such a flimsy deck of cards where losing one player drops them to the very bottom of the league (without any doubt)... despite a recent massive reshuffling of deck chairs... there might be a larger issue at stake.

Towns will not fix the coaching issues. Dont be fooled by a two game sample size.

Likewise, a new coach isn't fixing the roster issues.

It pains me to see the same boneheaded rotations. Rubio with 3 other non shooters. Amateur hour to see the kindergarten tactic of daring Okogie to open 3s. Super cringe.



Atleast Edwards was super nice this game.

I feel like Nowell has to play with how badly they need another scoring threat out there

Its not about fixing them, a decent coach gets the best out of the available roster. The roster cant be overturned in the middle of the season, the coach is the only realistic option. Simply speaking, do you think Pop would run this offense/defense and player rotation? Do you think he'd give a damn about certain players' feelings?

Completely agree.

Looking at last night's games, the Clippers, without George and Leonard, were able to defeat Miami. Granted the Heat missed Butler, but a coach should still keep his team competitive despite losing players.
