The officiating is very inconsistent.

They called that foul and 1 on Milton and they don't call the foul on the Tatum drive that had a lot of contact.

Joe in a nutshell


Cs currently shootin 41% from 3 and 50% from 2. It's the latter that is distressing.

Without us taking/making threes, this game's already over in Wolves favor.

I know it's a low scoring game, but Cs have to defend better.

How do you expect Boston to get an offensive rebound? When they're all standing behind a three point line?

Man I really hate this game right now

A little tired of our starters taking turns missing games when January just started. Feels like Porzingis plays one or two games then sits a game, Al is already doing that. JT starting to miss some.

Maybe the refs got a memo that not enough calls were being made against the Celtics. Seems lopsided lately.

Edwards and Towns are very talented players, keeping the wolves right there with tough shot making.

Seems like they have it in against the Celtics every game. Meanwhile, it's exactly the opposite for the Lakers. :banghead:

Starters averaging 25 mins, with 15 mins to go.
We got like 45 games left.

What's the plan here???

To be fair, Tatum is not a guy who really encourages fast play around him. He's more a dribble up slowly, get a switch, attack methodically kind of guy.

For a team with so many "elite" defensive players I'm pretty underwhelmed with our team defense.

They need to be coherent with those calls. If you're gonna call a foul on play, call it both ways. Not one sided like it's been for Minnesota the whole game so far. Play after play, its repeated. They get a call driving to the line, we do the same **** and get nothing. **** those refs. C'mon!!!! Minnesota is a sorry **** ass franchise!!
