Wolves are the worst rebounding team in the league


Didn't know that. Regardless we make people like Daniel Theis look like damn Charles Barkley out there.

Mason Plumlee is also shooting 29% from the FT line so I expect him to be fouled, a lot. Just awful.

You take your reverse psychology and scram. We’re far too seasoned in losing to know how well it works.


Congrats on your win tonight!


Lol we haven't won a playoff series since 2001. We don't know what it's like to win. We're 12-8 and it feels like we're undefeated

Is Plumlee playing tonight? I saw that he has a strained calf.

Questionable. He'll probably give it a go.

General question as I have only seen highlights of your team this season. How are you guys on pace? Do you tend to play a lot of transition or do you slow things down and focus on half court sets?

I’m curious what our defense will look like without PatBev slowing down the point of attack. However, I feel Beverley inspires the rest of the team to work harder on defense. It was defense that brought us back against MIA he left the game. Hopefully, he and Finch can continue to inspire our other players to put the same strong effort into their defense tonight.

We still forced a lot of turnovers (21 total for the game,) without Beverly. We also should be getting JO back who is an excellent point of attack defender. The biggest issue for me is JMAC is not NBA quality at the moment. He needs to be end of bench and Nowell needs to given a legit chance to play the role. If you won’t use Nowell then you need to use Leo. JMAC is a massive negative in every aspect of the game and he is far more likely to harm us then help us this game or any other game against a good team.

We play very fast. Lamelo gets the ball and immediately runs. Fun to watch, but our defense suffers sometimes

I know Charlotte fans dislike Plumlee, but they are in huge trouble without him. Towns needs to take advantage.

I've never seen him struggle to post up so much. I know he lost weight but jesus he couldn't even post up their 2 or 3 there.

Not crazy with our defense or ball movement tonight. We could lose this unless we come to play.

I like the idea by Coach Finch to put 6'10" guys on LaMelo Ball, but Minnesota is definitely having trouble keeping him out of the lane.

This game is giving hardcore loss vibes.
