Is Towns trying to get himself traded by missing the barn each time? In all these years he's never shot 3s this poorly. Just not practicing shots this year?

I like Nowell, but he might be our best piece to get Collins/Gordon in a trade. Culver + Nowell + Juancho combo

Going on a 1-10 streak on 3s has killed the Wolves offense. The sad part is most of the shots were fairly good looks.

4th quarter, Wolves in the game vs. the reigning champions but all Jim Pete is concerned with is LeBron getting a triple double. Keeps rambling about it for five minutes. Cringe.

Towns mechanics are all messed up. Usually doesn’t matter for him but....

Feels like we haven't seen Malik Beasley in a game in forever. He'd come in clutch right about now.

Kat is pissing me off. Hit a shot. 1-7 from 3. If he made a few more like he should, we have a game.

If that was ant, we would be shredding him for continuing to shoot them with no success. He has been not great this year from the 3 line.

Tough to beat the Lakers when you go 1-12 on 3s and play crap defense. Over the last stretch Okogie is 1-1 on 3s, the rest of the team is 0-11.

Lakers are really sharp right now, nailing all their shots. Hard to overcome that kind of execution.

Dave and Jim, can you just talk about the Wolves please? Who gives a **** about the lakers

Hasn't shot 3s as badly as he has this season since he was a rookie over 5 years back. From over 40 the past 4 seasons to .357 or worse right now this season.

I'd say Towns borrowed Nowell his 3pt shot but Nowell is only 1-4 tonight.

Jedzz · Post #74 » by **Jedzz** » Wed Mar 17, 2021 4:43 am

I tuned in just in time to force the Wolves into a blowout finish.

Harrell is Clint Capela on the Rockets level of dominant tonight. Like yea Lebron is their most important player but Harrell is kind of their most important player. He has been all-world tonight.

And he's 8/31 (25.8%) since the all-star break.

The differences are two fold. One KAT is a proven 3 point shooter, and a lot his 3s are semi open or outright open. Ant chucks them regardless of who is guarding him (often without passing.) That said, your point is well taken. Overall we clearly were not trying to win this game as we did nothing to get Nowell open. If your not going to play defense you better get your best shooter involved, and we did not.

Towns is a big part of this loss. Missed open 3’s and TOs on offense and Swiss cheese defense on Harrell. He’s still played well but he needs to be held to a higher standard

So many trying to see him traded. This team without consistent shooters, without clutch shooters, is just garbage.
