I wish he could improve his defense...tired of seeing Cs on Wolves who can't defend.

Kings r trash that's why we can hang with them.. Dlo wouldn't be able to go off on team like clippers or bucks.. We lucky we making our shots too.

You could wish that for every Wolf except McD. and Okogie.

This!

Seems most people (99%) only care about sexy sexy offense. I will hammer this nail until it finally hits a nerve. I’d rather have Larry Brown pistons defense and high 80s, low 90s point outputs, than this bull defense and 110s output.

That’s why this team will go nowhere as currently constructed. Towns sucks, DLo sucks, Beasley sucks (these are main guys with multiple years in the league). Don’t give me some crap about Towns improving. When you suck as bad as he has if hope he’d improve some. You can’t win when all your money buys no defense and you have none left to hold the fort.

This lineup sucks

Kings transition defense might be worse than Wolves lol

zero effort to stop the ball on both sides, it hurts to watch. Okogie looking like D Wade the way the kings are just letting him get to the rim.

I think Towns has actually been decent this season with defense.

Yeah..I have given up hope on KAT becoming good defender...he still keeps repeating the same mistakes again and again..even if he has 1 or 2 good games defensively, he can't keep that consistency across longer periods...I think Malik atleast puts effort and defense and makes hustle plays..DLo though is probably worst of the bunch...just absymal effort on defense

Why on earth does almost everyone on the team goes for offensive rebounds?? No wonder this team's transitions defense sucks so bad

Edwards needs to stop chucking now

_AIJ_ · Post #34 » by **_AIJ_** » Wed Apr 21, 2021 3:05 am

Towns is so scared of Whiteside

It’s a mirage. Watch closely how he over helps constantly. Which In Turn leads to an easy bucket from the guy who snuck behind him.
He makes decent plays here and there because the other team just didn’t make the right pass.
He also is a big fan of popcorn because he can’t help but jump at a pump fake.

Will Edwards learn how to play D or box out? It’s so frustrating to see him constantly go for steals and not even care if his man goes by him. I know he’s only 19, but how has this not been addressed?

IceManBK1 · Post #38 » by **IceManBK1** » Wed Apr 21, 2021 3:07 am

2 soft teams going at it.. This is entertaining. They should count towns buzzer beater 3. Randle had a similar shot and they counted it.

Post #39 » by **Calinks** » Wed Apr 21, 2021 3:14 am

We come out playing some defense and KAT gets going, we can win this but we got to step it up. The current effort is not going to cut it.

Great defense from Jaden on Fox in that last possession. Gosh I can't imagine how much worse this defense would look without Jaden
