Rudy Gobert is far better as a roamer, that would be a poor game plan. Minnesota won in the past against Denver in large part because Rudy Gobert was on Aaron Gordon.

Neverminded the 15 pts a qtr. Giving up 46+ 1st Qtr is bad. Down 30 in 1st qtr. TNT made the correct decision to not broadcast this game. Seems like the entire team are also watch LBJ on TNT to get the all time scoring record.

I looked away when we were tied 11 all and assumed that my page hadn't properly loaded when I saw the score.

Isn't now is the perfect game to put Nowell in there? Let him score 35 while giving up 45 but to prop up his trade value?

Wow, It's amazing that some of you are still watching the game. I am with the Wolves team watching Lebron going for the amazing scoring record.

You can do both if you use League Pass.

....How in the world does that comment make sense in the context of the conversation?

Naz Reid is the one getting cooked, tonight.

Bench minutes in the first quarter were disastrous...it's rare you see a 32-2 run like what Denver had in last 6 minutes of first quarter. Bench is like 2/18 from field tonight

Haven’t seen anything special from them.

We’re just playing bad…
Bad shot selection, bad passing (and non-passing), bad defense.


Jokic Triple Double in the 1st half isn't special ??

MPJ scoring 19pts in the 1st qtr isn't special ??

Revenge game for sure....

We r getting our behinds whooped. It feels like they are playing against our 2nd and 3rd stringers. We seem horrible without Kyle Anderson. We got a major hole at PF and yet we trade our best defenders and 6th man shooter for an overrated defensive center with no shooting ability.
