The T-Wolves are actually good. Could get ugly...for them.

Gobert showing real rim protection looks like. Hope Mark takes notes.

Mark has not looked good over the last several. He's looked bad tonight.

We are so bad defensively. It's just shocking.

And it's stuff like that which is why I haven't hounded Marks defense. Yet.

There's no excuse for a lineup if Terry Miller Hayward miles and Mark to be so bad defensively. That's 3 vets, a supposed defensive anchor and miller a supposed 2 way with length. That 5 should be able to hang defensively.

Miles is making himself a lot of money right now.

The collective team ball IQ of this team is as low as any team I've ever watched. Some talented individuals with zero idea of how to be a team on either end.

Hope our next gm prioritizes smart team first guys. We need at least 4 to offset the brain dead core.

I'm not sure what we are doing in this zone, and I’m not sure the players do either.

Amazing how important Gobert is to the Wolves D. Too bad we can't take advantage when he's on the bench. Would require playing both sides of ball.

EDIT - I mean how much easier can we make it for them to get to the hoop?

EDIT, EDIT - Any why isn't Miles going at KAT every possession he's guarded by him?

I really wish they would trade Rozier. Hes a black hole on this team and gives no effort on defense. I'm comfortable at this point saying that him being a leader for this team is actively bad.

Miles is so good at drawing whistles.
