A double digit lead at the half with Russell being awful and Beasley contributing nothing, I'll take it.

Some sloppy stuff but the defense has made up for it. Hopefully we catch fire and put this game away.

Something seems off with Russell, his passing has been way off target all night.

I keep thinking Willie Green is going to strip off the sweats and sub himself into the game.

Give the Pels credit, they wont go away easily. Impressive they are right in this game with all their turnovers.

KAT racking up fouls, Pelicans getting some confidence. Not good. Got to punch back.

Rebounding a significant concern

Wolves thanks to Dlo have almost as many turnovers, this is high low embarrassing.

frustrating to see same problems year after year

horrific outside shooting
KAT getting frustrated and emotional, taking himself out of game
trouble getting matched up defensively in transition

This is the concern with some of our defensive guys. They are truly one way players, so if KAT, DLo, and Towns aren’t rolling, we’re limited in options.

Why no Prince this half? I think I like him more than Beasley.

Kat being a whiny crybaby hurts the rebounding as well.

The Pelicans have 18 offensive rebounds with time left in the 3rd quarter. It's going to be tough for the Wolves to win if they are the worst rebounding team in the NBA.

I don't think D'lo is good at playing this physical style of basketball he throws it away so easily

I’m not a DLo fan but WTF. He is absolutely killing us in all aspects of the game.

Wolves probably up more if DLo wasn’t playing.
