Unpopular take but I don’t think this team will go anywhere until both Towns and Rudy are gone. I think you have to do a reset to move forward with Ant as the focal point.

The play styles just don’t mesh

Going from 3 competent bigs a few weeks back and our problem is how to give them enough minutes

to

One injured and out for a while, the other is sitting 'cause of foul trouble and the other sent home because of doing something stupid

They were clicking with just Gobert. I been saying it will work with Gobert/Towns, but certainly see your point.

They were definitely starting to click with just Rudy but even then it was still clunky at times.

Ant and a lot of the other players are free flowing players but Towns and Rudy really aren’t. I would love for it to work out but it’s hard to see them being serious contenders.

Make your FTs Ant. 4-10 is a disgrace from a guard.

a 21 year old is carrying our team that's supposed to be anchored by veteran All-NBA bigs

Ant is special

Ant's free throws have been weird. He's only gone 4-10, but the Wolves have gotten 3 offensive rebounds off of those misses.

"Timberwolves Send Rudy Gobert Home After He Punched Kyle Anderson." Headline from Real GM.

Hard to believe but Rudy is out for the rest of the game.

Also KA is the man who can feed his useless ass the best and has the best plus/minus with. The French log contributed amazing 2 points and 3 rebs in the most important game he has been a part of this year. Thanks Connley

I that free flowing is a little mis-leading. That is how Ant plays his best but I don't think that is winning basketball and will only get him to the Kyrie level - great individual player but team sucks. He is getting better at the team game but still a long way to go.

Jaden really punched a wall after the Rudy scuffle? What an embarrassment.

He got blood on Valanciunas before the Gobert incident, right?

This is the weirdest team ever.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
