Guessing barely any Minnesota fans are watching this one. So far so good in the first though. Rockets only got 15 point with two minutes left so the defense is holding up.

Saunders leaving these guys to kill themselves.

Nice lack of adjustment here by the coach. Rockets go on a 14-2 run.

Napier and teague have been brutal as well.

I don't understand why ryan refuses to just go point wiggs.

I don't think point Wiggins would be enough to turn this around. TEam has to step up as a whole and the defense needs to tighten up. Rockets are scoring at will in the second. Wolves need to get it together on offense too.

Point Wiggs would be enough to compete more. No doubt in my mind. It changes everything.

Wolves back to the old nobody at all can shoot mode. They must sleep in the same bed each night. It's all up or all down. A pack of women ovulating together.

Watching the Vikings isn't any more of a treat. Conservative crap coach. Zero ingame adjustments. This is Minnesota entertainment.

50% 7 of 14 Threes at half? Only 14 threes? That's a 28 attempt pace. Not quite the system. There goes the strict system adherence excuses.

Ya I had to stop watching the Vikings ... offensive line is being totally dominated and THEN - we passed 1 time up field and got a TD ... have not attempted a pass over 5 yards since and we are 1-on-1 deep ... cowardly scheme

Yeah. Zimmer content with losing. He and Spielman got their extensions. They will play it conservative win or lose. I was surprised they bothered to pass in overtime last week. I'll wait to hear about this game. Not watching heartless football.

Well point Wiggins isn't working either I guess. Wiggins is just back to bad Wiggins. Turn the page on this season.

Wiggins has to be better. This isn't all on him but we need him to be a star night in and night out. Can't have him flop like his regularly. He needs to step up like Brandon Ingram has for NO. Wiggins also needs to take the ball to the rack with some authority, I really don't understand why he never attacks the rim and throws the ball down, its crazy, he could get 4-6 nearly guaranteed points a game just doing that and hype his team.

Nice dunk Gorgui. He is pretty good at pick and roll too.
