They just make getting buckets look difficult and have these consistent dry stretches. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you don't know Minnesota basketball

Forget offense, defense continues to look bad.

So you're watching the game tonight? :lol: Care to share a link, plz? Wolves just gave up 63 pts in a half and you complain about scoring which absolutely was not problem for this starting 5 last season.

Defense is looking horrible today. Offense is looking poor. Gonna take a total turn around to get the W tonight. Our boys are getting spanked.

meh if Wiggins and towns combine for 5/20, it doesn't matter what defense you play. offense leads to defense and vice versa. But offense is more skill driven and defense led by effort and energy. With today's rules, a successful team needs to be able to score first and then defend with the momentum gained. It's going to be a rough 82 games trying to shut down everybody and scraping points off the barrel

It's going to be amazing when you stop arguing any and every point that criticizes Rubio in any sense. Maybe next year he'll be gone. Do you watch the NBA? Have you not realized this is a scoring league?

I said they made scoring difficult last year and it seemed that way in the first half. You sure know how to twist arguments to look like what you know you are talking about.

Looks like they turned it on indeed in the second half. Rubio filling the stat sheet up nicely. Would like to see Wiggins do more than just score again though. Want some boards and assists.
