Is Randle actively trying to force a trade? It's hard to imagine how he could have been worse in the first few minutes.

First 6 minutes Randle is 0-3 with 3 TOs and truly awful defense.

I'm considering to stop watching games until we got rid of Randle. The others don't play well all the time but at least they try.
ANT decide to play alone as well. IF they don't change that, we go for another 20 points loss...

Watching our offense be so inept and then watching Towns bodying the Raptors in the first half for New York.

I'm going to be curious to see who gets minutes if Naz is out. I don't think it can be Garza since a Randle/Garza front court would be a defensive abomination. Maybe Miller finally gets his first NBA minutes of the year.

This team is giving me a bipolar condition. From being down 19 in the first quarter to leading by 3 at the half

I honestly don't blame the fan base for quitting like it has. I just never thought it would because of everything the fans have been through the past 20 years. Then again, perhaps that's exactly why the fan base has quit on the team in such glorious fashion.

I love the Timberwolves and have done for YEARS, but I just can't love THIS Timberwolves - Randle trade killed the momentum we were on.

A wet hamburger has better hands than Rudy and Randle.

I've been a Long-Suffering Wolves Fan since the very beginning and will continue to be. I will just play more music to sooth my angst this year.

Randle has to go. The innefficient scoring, ball stopping offense, large number of bad turnovers, and frequent poor defensive possessions are killing this team. Some guys help make a team more than the sum of its parts, Julius is pretty much the opposite of that.

Gréât shooting competition from Ant and Randle 3 on 14 at 3….this team is done as long as they don’t trade Randle!im glad I did not watch. I know some posters will Complain about Rudy slowing down , Mike getting old or Jaden beeing not consistent but the real responsibility are on Ant the supposed leader, on Randle who just work on his stats and in Finch for being unable to show he is the boss. Trading Randle can save the season. I’m not even sure that firing Finch will help….

Poor roster construction and the coaching staff being unable to figure it out has made this team the biggest underperforming group in franchise history (relative to their talent level).

Finch is going to get Finched fired, wolves can do better with a coach with better feel for timeouts and which lineups work, and with much better offense and more discipline!! Finch has to go.
