Lebron has a shoelace not properly tied! Refs need to call the game, wolves win! Arrroooo!

Well that's no way to get more to join in. I say give us a -.5 or -1 when we skip.

It's a legitimate strategy.

There goes the 4 pt lead. Everyone just gets shaken up as soon as Lebron returns.

Okogie and Culver both seem to be shooting better lately.

LeBron has 4 personals!!

Ticky tack reach in foul on Wiggins. Classic joke NBA fouls that we sure didn't see getting called on OKC the other night.

You mean, shooting better today anyway.

Teague shooting better last couple games.

Ryan, call a timeout and get Bell in there. Blowsz the lead goes upside down in the final minute against two bigs.

Our offense looks so stagnant with teague. Its basically teague dribbling for 15 seconds to try and make a post entry pass to kat while the other 3 guys just watch.

-13 in 13 minutes.

1. Towns needs to be given the ball more.

2. The all wing line up might work against garbage and mediocre teams most of the time, but that hasn't worked all season long against any good teams with actual size.

3. We are lucky they actually decided to call fouls on Lebron this game otherwise we would be down huge.

4. Roco and Bell got us back in the game.

Agree on 2,3,4. For #1, Towns needs to want to. Lot's of big opponents around so, we'll see.

I like they are willing to use Bell now. Wish they could work the substitutions a little more actively to save the lead they lost at end of half. They could use Dieng too if needed.

They are loading up on KAT heavy. There is a reason he has 6 assists. 7 shots isn't enough for this elite of an offensive player.
