So, that means Portland is going to win by 30 pts tonight.

That's make sense. I hope Mike min don't go all to DDV and NAW. It's time to give some min to RD.

We have to play much better than yesterday.

I'm starting to feel this POR/MIN thing is a kinda Late pre Season Fake Serie.
Most repeated matchup this Season so far.

I think they did it to cut down on travel. That said 3 games in a week is a little odd.

Naz is a better fit as a starter, and a better basketball player than randle.. yet we have to have naz backing up rudy for the fact Randle just will not play/put in any effort down low.

This is a major problem with beneficial lineups/flexibility against opponents. And naz as good as he is, is not a center.

We need a major scheme change and need a different player.

bigger than giving RD a few minutes, bigger than more ddv, less mike, bigger than tweaks with jaden, naw/lineups..

The sample size is large enough that the issue is not execution of the components, it's a fundamental flaw of the cohesiveness of them.

Randle is really allergic to defense

Looks like POR corrected their mistakes from last night. They need to be in the 2 wins range to get that #1 pick. Hopefully Wolves could take advantage of it.

Randle might be a bit better as a player, but I think Naz is the better player for this version of the Wolves. If we could get decent value for Randle I could see moving him and starting Naz.

Great shoot RD. Hope he got a good game and force Finch to play him more. Mike and DDV have been awful at shooting so far.

Dante getting a ton of open looks from 3, he's just not all that close on his misses.

Seems like all this team can do is throw up 3 pts shots and pray it goes in.

I feel a bit bad for Dillingham, he moved the ball to guys for wide open 3s 4-5 times and gets no assists because we can't make a shot.

We are lucky Portland missing tons of shoot too. When Mike is out, game have no structure...hope we find shooting.
I start to wonder if ANT is really at 100% physically? He look not for me.
