Impending Minnesota win just so I have to read more Rudy Gobert discourse.

I am so tired of our squad not showing up and blowing important games. We DON'T HAVE TIME to waffle around. This team needs to give maximum effort or close to it for the next 20 games. The margin for error is thin, the west has improved, other teams like the Lakers, are far more hungry. Towns or not we got to get serious and scrap. We will easily be knocked out of post-season contention if we keep showing up like we do.

It's either that or we discuss Finch...

And I still struggle with posters saying if the Wolves didn't trade for Gobert the record would be far worse. At least with Beverley and Vanderbilt, the effort and mentality is consistently there. And Beasley certainly would have given the team the shooter its needed -- something Nowell has been unable to replicate.

ESPN pre game show is featuring Ant and saying he is a great two way player. I was surprised they didn't show his D on last possession against Dallas. If Ant plays for LA or New York, we would be seeing him in Quantumania commercial with Paul Rudd. I can see a who's the real Ant-Man pitch and Ant jump over Giant Ant-Man for a dunk. Can't lay another egg tonight, it's a must win tonight.

Where is Gobert tonight? Did Draft Kings just wanted to even the odds?

Finch is always a possession or two late in calling time outs. Call a time out after 3 sloppy possession not the 4th one. If JMcl is in the game marking turnovers than I rather have Nowell instead

Who can we put in? Rivers, JMcl, Nowell shouldn't get any minutes. Prince, Towns, Gobert are out.

Ant is the franchise and I love him but people forget how great Towns is. Except for some playoff games and recent seasons, KAT was damn near flawless in delivering consistent production. Every night he was like 23 and 10 and it was just a given. Ant still disappears too much, its expected, he's 21 but we need KAT's reliability.

Am I just being too critical or Wolves seems to have more dumb fouls and turnovers than most NBA teams. They foul way too much on D. Could someone pull some stats to see if that is true?

Looks like the Wolves average the 3rd most turnovers per game and the 2nd most fouls.

Rivers is the worst rotation player this team has. Give his minutes to one of the rookies or give them to McLaughlin and NAW.
