The Wolves offense looks like it's the second preseason game. If they're doubling KAT on the block, you absolutely have to be able to run action off of that.

Jarret Allen isn’t winning you anything. Garland won’t show up in the playoffs. Mobley is a glorified dunk man. Mitchell has some experience but is a liability on defense. To me, the Cavs are a treadmill team.

we're just seeing the limits of post up bigs. same thing happens with AD. he needs to be the finisher, not the initiatior

Towns is not playing smart at all. At this stage in your career you have to be better in the big games early

KAT is trying to do way too much. Doesn't look like he knows how to let the game come to him.

Towns wants to follow Beverly and talk trash in the regular season. It’s easy to do then. Playoffs is a whole different game.

Lots of bad takes in this thread, this is a game where Minnesota fans knew going in that Towns wouldn’t be able to score easily. The issue is that when a team goes all-in on one player, it makes the rest of the defense vulnerable.

The disappointing player tonight has been Russell.
