All those in season tournament floors have been ugly so far.

Good point. That is one reason I don't think he is worth his contract but hope to be wrong. At least he is not punching walls to earn those fouls

We play a bit bette on second. Still not good but at least we fight. KAT is probably the most frustrating player to watch, so talented and so stupid at same times. Probably the reason why he is the center of attention here. Wemby is definitly a future star.

SAS is a totally different when both Wemby and Vassell are both playing. They need each other to balance things out and take pressure off each other.

Man we definitely made adjustments because this second half defense has been smothering

I'm watching to the Spurs broadcast. Their announcers are certain they will lose the challenge.

Towns is doing a great job not complaining, tonight. It makes all the difference for his game when he doesn't get frustrated.

To be fair, he's also been getting calls, but it's still positive to see.

I think we’re legit. I’ve never felt more comfortable with the Wolves, even the KG, Spree, Cassell year.

We so need a backup PG though. Milton is not a PG.

NAW is doing a tremendous job defensively with Jaden in foul trouble

Really don't get not calling a timeout once Nickeil Alexander-Walker fumbled the pass in the corner and it became a 4-on-5.

Hopefully Naz is alright! I am a bit concerned about Anthony Edwards' knee.

We are letting the gas off the pedal a little. Still 9+ mins to go. Hope Naz is alright.

This team has a scoring problem. Too many guys scared to shoot out there at the same time.

13 point lead 5 plus minutes. Just relax and take care of business.
