Our defense goes as Kat goes. He doesn't have to be good, he just can't be bad.

Hopefully the allstar game gets KAT to go harder at becoming top tier type player. He’s really good now but could be great.

I just would like to know where Dieng gets this offensive confidence from? Your success is hitting mid range shots. Not trying to make plays off the dribble with 20 seconds on the clock.

Then compounds it by flopping to the floor and not being able to get back.

Hopefully Flip isn't watching this trash.

I've only watched a couple of games in the last couple of weeks, but if we keep on playing like we do now after the ASG there is no way we will make the playoffs... how frustrating is this?! Our offense is based on talent and iso, our defense is not existing right now and our hustle/effort is also pretty low.
I don't get it...

I had forgot that Butler had hurt his finger a couple of games ago, he's got a couple heavily wrapped.

We look so much better when we run and play with energy. Why aren’t we always playing that way? The crowd gets in it and good things happen.

It really helps to get stops to get out to run, hard to do that passing inbounds. If you remember a few weeks ago, when they were playing good defense people finally saw the team running.

They wont but I kind of wish the all star would clown Towns all weekend and make fun of his defense. He's been terrible lately.

Dieng can't rebound nor defend.

He got rewarded for not defending, I doubt anything is going to change. Kat is very personal stat hungry which can be good and bad.

With his mobility and his outside shot, he absolutely could play PF and allow Minnesota to bring in a big to protect the rim in the future.
