How do you know when your coach thinks you're on the verge of being a bust? He's looking for something off the bench and puts in Singleton over you.

I like them running things through Nene to start the 4th.

No one is saying it because we are getting blow out. It hasn't mattered that much. And because the Wiz were a bigger problem then the refs. They were driving to make the ref make a call. Refs may have blown some calls, but not enough to get up the lead. Unless you had issue with one of the TA fouls that took him out of the game early in the first.


I understand but refs dictate the flow of the game. The Twolves are very comfortable because they are getting every single call. We seen what happens when the refs don't give the Wolves calls, they lose.


Can't see the game, but are the refs really that bad tonight?

When can we stop blaming refs, bad calls, etc on why we lose?

They drive again. Little JJ chewed them up.
They are so much more active defensively.
They jump the lanes
The have active hands.
They are always leaning into you getting contact on drives.

They deserve to win this one. They are the better team tonight. Way better.

TWolves have just 2 turnovers all night. That's the story of the game right there. A normal team has about 14 turnovers a game. That's 12 extra possessions.

Hate to say it..

But THIS is why you need something out of Otto.

He doesnt have to be great.

But it would be nice to see him get 9/3 a game.

It's a shock how soft our interior defense has been tonight. That long lay off hurt the team. That's a sign of bad coaching because the team doesn't look prepared.

Even Ves looked more impressive during his rookie year.

We're not losing because the refs or Randy. The T-Wolves are a better team, especially at home. John played his typical "I'm going to show you I can shoot so I can put up enough stats to make the All-Star team in the first half": and didn't involve his teammates. Nobody defended, nobody rebounded save for Booker and the they looked disinterested. F-em.

Trade him before the rest of the league figures out he's a huge bust.

Does Otto even have 9/3 on the season? The guy is skinny, I know, but I didn't realize he was invisible.

Meh, I am used to Witt-less being a bad coach, though
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

And the sad thing is he was supposed to be the "ready to play" guy.

Heck, MCW looks more physical.
