Ricky Rubio is playing good tonight. Communicating and directing the offense. Team is playing hard.

He's not parked in a corner. Obviously, he's going to play better.

Wolves with a solid half of ball. Ingram and Bledsoe making jump shots at a ridiculous rate have kept the Pelicans in the game. Hopefully one or both cool off in the second half.

D’lo should b an off the bench scorer going forward. Can still close games, but it is clear now he is killing his teammates.

Yep. D-slo hero ball looks good when it goes in but takes everyone's head out of the game and everything else suffers. Today, not always pretty, but playing as a team with consistent focus and effort. Like I've said before, D-Lo needs to be relegated to 6th man.

Two average quarters of ball and everyone thinks they got the answers.

They are a complete different team. Could win or lose, but at least they are fighting as one.

The whole difference is that the ball is in Rubios hands. There is no excuse for the coach at this point when he returns to his former inefficient offense.

100% this.

Trade for a competent PF.

Towns
PF by Committee
Okogie (defensive stopper)
Beasley
Rubio

Rubio and Okogie pulled early. Russell and Edwards in. Probably a PF change too.

Towns
PF by Committee
Edwards
Beasley
Russell

This lineup gets run until few minutes before quarter. Enter Culver for Beasley. Maybe another PF change or 1st one if not before.

At quarter, Towns sits. Culver in too.

Reid
PF by Committee
Edwards or Culver
Culver or Edwards
Russell

Rubio comes back soon into quarter, Towns and Beasley with 8-10 remaining. Starting lineup back in with 5-6 remaining. Russell can get more run if offense needed.

I'm loving the McDaniels pick. He moves really well and doesn't look intimidated at all. I think he's going to be a seriously good 2-way player and a great fit with KAT.

Rubio leading team on offense snd defense. You can hear him directing his teammates on offense snd defense

This is the guy we traded for

Rosas looking good for scraping the barrel picks but looking bad for top of the line picks. Maybe we just need to stock up on mid first and second rounds to build a team lol.
