Suggs could just lay the ball up.

Can I just say how much I hate this mentality?

The amount of times guys actual foul out of games is so low. Paolo's only fouled out of like 1 game in his 120 game NBA career.

You play soft defense like that when you have 5 fouls, not 2 IMO.

That was actually a nice subtle change on defense by Mose by moving Franz on KAT and moving P5 on McDaniels.

He just has to relax. He had a few moments in the 1st half but he was pressing.

Tyus Jones sprained his ankle tonight. Not sure how bad, but it's possible he may be out until the trade deadline.

Yep. His opportunities are gonna come. Doesn't need to make the home run play all the time.

offensively the bench goes as cole goes, if he's not on then normally that punch that the bench usually gives us just isn't there....add that with gary harris giving us 10 minutes of nothing......0 points....0 attempts

If Ant is unable to come back in, the Wolves really lack a scoring punch without him.

Making a big splash through trade or free agency is the last step of the rebuild.. needs to happen soon.

I struggle to believe that Ingles wouldn’t be a better starter than Fultz. We’d get the passing, but also 3pt shooting. Suggs can take point of attack on defense. Franz can take the SG.
