I suspect Jones playing was supposed to be a teaching moment.

Towns was really disappointing today. I know it's just one game but I hope the hype doesn't get to him.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
Before everyone freaks out remember.
This is the Spurs
We got a bunch of new guys
We didn't have a real training camp/preseason
Its not crazy that we lost this game. We aren't ready and its realistic that we wouldn't be. Team needs some time.

As bad as you say this was we had the lead late fourth quarter at San Antonio. Not that bad.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
First game, they looked disjointed but hung in with a good Spurs team on the road. Wiggins looked good, Jimmy looked ok, KAT looked bad compared to what we expect. We will be fine.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
Some of you are acting like Rubio was the difference on this team. Give me a break.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
This Towns reminds me of the Towns we saw at the beginning of last season. Not sold on Tyus being ready. Don’t know what Thibs was thinking there. Hopefully Towns never plays like he did tonight again, that was just sloppy.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
Not the way to start the season. I remember last year reasonably early we lost to Memphis without Conley, Gasol or Parsons and lost a bunch of games against weak competition which ultimately cost us in the end.
Hopefully we can get a sync and chemistry quick because there's no time to waste in the west.

So Crawford looks ok against the reserves, let's just leave the 37 year old out there 10 more minutes straight I'm sure it will work out fine... All it took was the right 4th quarter subs and we probably win this game.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
Yeah, I'm not worried, we're gonna win enough games by outscoring weaker defenses than the Spurs one, and it's gonna be enough for 6-8 seed, I just think that our top 4 hopes should be let go because Towns just doesn't get the concept of playing percentages on defense, he always wants to make a defensive play so that hasn't changed from last year, and a lot of other players are underwhelming on D too. We'll figure it out offensively, we're too talented not to.

Re: Wolves vs Spurs 830pm
Out rebounded by 8, that's disappointing. This team is no where near having good chemistry and the team defense sucks.
