The T Wolves frontcourt seems sluggish today. What's going on?

Afternoon game and tempo teams always give our frontcourt fits, but yeah this has been brutally inexcusable

Take after their head coach, who doesn’t teach fundamentals.

Is it the requirement of a professional head coach to teach fundamentals that should have been taught in elementary school?

Ant was right, this low energy no defense approach is Timberwolves basketball. Chris Finch will give the same old excuses for the fact that his players don’t respect him, listen to him, or cooperate with him. Finch needs to go and if you don’t know it, YOU SHOULD KNOW IT!

Our bench is shooting 3-21 on FG's and 0-12 on 3's. That's a major why this team can't be considered a legit contender. Just ugly stuff.

Jim Pete asking is Jaden a big time scorer or not is crazy to me. He is 2 for 2 from 3 and I believe 3/5 for 8 points at that point. What that tells you is the offense treats him as an afterthought. When you have a player who can give you 20 PPG, but don’t feature them, (no plays run for them, insufficient usage, not demanding they shoot more, ect…,) then what do expect. The coach needs to design an offense that gets the most out of his players, instead we get this.

There's a desire factor for Jaden though. Yo have to want to go get the ball sometimes.

Wolves fall to 16-4 against sub.500 teams, 8-3 against the east. Team proves once again they lack the leadership and heart to play like champions.

If we accept this as true that is all the more reason the coach needs to make damn sure it happens. If Jaden cannot or will not advocate for himself, but is this capable of scoring, that is the difference between great coaching and less than great coaching. You cannot have Jaden shooting less than 10 shots per game, and maybe not even under 15 per game if you want to win.

Jaden can not give you 20 PPG.

He's a guy that can sometimes get you 20 points.

Yes!

If they need to be taught.
