It's not coaching. It's an absence of quality personnel. We're probably at least 3-4 very good players away from being at the Clippers' level.

Dieng, okogie, and culver getting their shots up.

Just give it to wiggs.

I disagree. Itā€™s both. Idk what this defensive experiment is but it is a problem, then add in obvious rotations that work. Particularly anything with Bell.

Stars make their bank at the line. We got to get better at that.

1. Defense has to change. Current form is an absolute nightmare and historically bad. must change.

2. More quality players. We have 3 quality starters. Okogie is at role player level right now and Culver hovers in and out of being an NBA player. We need 5 starter quality players out there and NBA talent coming off the bench.

The lack of NBA level players has been a timberwolves problem since time immemorial

The good thing about this game being on ESPN is everyone can now be like "Oooh, that's why the timberwolves suck". The roster is very weak.
