I've never started a game thread before and since no one has done it yet I thought someone needs to do it.

I know we're all disappointed in the play right now which is probably why no one created a game thread yet. We need to turn this around soon.

Let's finally get all those open jumpers to fall and win this one!
Go Wolves!!!

The wolves shooting will improve at some point. Cant be this bad for long. I just really hope we don't let the defense fall off a cliff. Keep playing hard, the shots will drop.

Hope Beverley plays and starts at PG, I think we'll look better than with DLo starting if that's the case.

DLo is basically an insanely well paid Lou Will

The hot takes are going to be insane if Minnesota wins this game. The forum will be a wildfire risk.

Minnesota should win this game. Clippers aren’t that good this year. Without Leonard they are not a playoff team.

It’ll be worse if we lose.

What hot take? That DLo is garbage extraordinaire? Hardly a hot take for people who've got a pair of eyes and who can read the numbers. We should be looking at how to get KLove or John Wall for DLo and stop hoping that we'll actually nab Simmons in a package which DLo is a part of. His value is literally that.

Yeah no, I'd rather have the 25 year old with a cheaper contract tbh.

John Wall is worse than DLo and Kevin Love is a walking injury at this point

Well, we disagree there, I think that the shadow of John Wall is better than DLo because he can actually run pick n roll and play drive and kick, and Love is better too, plus he's a solid fit in our starting lineup, and we don't lose anything if he's injured because it means DLo still isn't playing. Just send DLo and Prince back for either of those guys, and take some backup PG from one of those two teams as well. Let somebody else get foolish and put hopes into DLo figuring it out instead of us.

Wall is also toxic in the locker room. Our shooting is already bad, John Wall will make it worse. For all DLo is he's atleast a passable shooter. He's in a rut, but it'll wash off. I'm not saying I'd shoot better than John Wall but I'm also gonna take my chances in a 3pt competition against him vs any guard we have on our roster. (Unless you count Okogie as a guard).

Love is debatable, he's still really bad on defense. He's probably worse now.

I don't think he can play the PF spot anymore either on defense. If he has to it's because he's a skinny boy now.

I wonder which Wolves team will show up tonight. I'm just hoping for a night of consistent effort on both ends and ball movement with cutters.

Oh look, our offense looks much better with Bev at PG even with Okogie starting and ruining spacing for us. Just simple passes with his head up, looking towards the basket, instead of being a blind moron like DLo protecting his dribble with his body and not seeing a damn thing, just so that he could shoot a contested 3. Wish we had Beasley or at least Prince/Nowell out there instead of Okogie, Josh is simply not an nba player.
