Garza and zone defense are not compatible

This depleted group is playing some fun basketball.

Profs to Naz Reid. He just seems to get better.

Our perimeter defense is so bad. The only good news is it seemed like a big part of that was KAT and Rudy but I really think its DLO and Ant. If Ant can get it together there and Dlo can be average or we get another PG at some point that can really defend, I think we will see a big improvement. Right now they get shredded.

I can't believe I'm saying it but Dlo is playing some good ball. He's not looking to shoot unless he has to and he's making others better.

Yes, total agree. DLo off the bench and shoot 3s again second unit is what I like to see. Ant still have a lot of learning to do and not take plays off. He needs to learn how to pace himself and not over reacting

Russell 20 points and 6 assists and it's not even halftime yet. Go Wolves.

Russell's shooting is off the charts right now. WE just got to be better on defense, sick of us leaving wide open threes.

Crazy how between KAT, Wiggins, and Lavine, Wiggins has had far and away the most meaningful NBA success and is the most respected in the NBA today.

DLO and Knight seem to have a lot of chemistry

I hear ya but there are 4 other guys out there.

Speed and defense are his issues for sure. I love the rest of the guy.
