The Wolves give up 83 to the team with the worst offensive rating in the NBA. Can we fire Saunders at half time?

Muscala is a free agent this summer. We should sign him.

Ryan Saunders & the Minnesota Timberwolves just allowed OKC Thunder a franchise record 83 points in the first half without their starting front court Horford & Roby. How much more ineptitude can this franchise show?

Total organization failure.

Kevin Lynch is destroying the Wolves and Rosa’s construction of small ball philosophy and roster.

Franchise record from a team that once boasted KD, Westbrook, and Harden

Interesting contrast between the two teams. One team gets far more out of their talent than they have any right to expect, and the other gets significantly less.

Sad part is this team actually has talent and guys that can get you buckets and a few decent defenders.Biggest issues besides Talyor as the owner is the horrible coaching by Saunders and both Russell & Towns not being true all star level talents or leaders.


This team has talent from top to bottom in Beasley,Edwards,Reid,Nowell,Vanderbelt,McDaniels,Rubio...ect but really needs to think about firing Saunders and trading Towns & Russell.

His value drops significantly if he can't play against the Wolves.

This is why I don't blame things on one player. We got systemic issues.

You can blame Russell, he's not playing we are still getting bodied.

You can blame Okogie, he has barely gotten run we are still getting crushed.

You can blame Saunders, I don't think he coached to an 0-12 start and an instant blow out.

Blame should go to all of it, most of these people have had a hand in our bad play. Some more than others but its a big team-wide problem. Lots of issues that Rosas is going to have to address and he is to blame for some of them too.

The top problem by a massive margin is injuries (particularly that of Karl-Anthony Towns). The second is roster construction.

Obvious problems aside, good start to the half by Naz Reid.

I like this timeout by Ryan, I think you need to put in McLaughlin and Nowell to give the starters a bit of a break.

EDIT: Ryan agreed.

I really don't like the lineup with McDaniels playing center.
