Towns is really annoying. I hope we don't trade for him.

Yea, this is a game where we miss WCJ, you need bigs that can shoot against those bigs and you can't play soft as Goga is doing today.

Isaac looks more relaxed on the bench after his contract was guaranteed

If there is one thing we've learned about this team though it's that we won't go away

I can't believe we couldn't get one forward or center healthy for this game.

Looking at the bigger picture, we are not going to be a top 6 eastern team for much longer if the FO doesn't make a move. We have too many often-injured players to depend on them. We don't need a star, or even a starter, but a solid rotation player or two is much needed.

All the injuries are disgusting. Same song and dance every year with the same players.

We've got em right where we want em.

But really, this was bound to happen sooner or later with this depleted lineup. We did very well to win the two games we did.
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

Literally every time down the floor they have a huge mismatch.

I feel bad for any team matched up with the Wolves in the playoffs.

Is this the worst half of Paolo's career?

We can't keep Gobert from getting where he wants to be.

Want to be mad about this but Timberwolves are running a clinic on us offensively. They have been taking advantage of the mismatch every possession it seems like.
