That’s called losing Hartenstein.

It’s a huge loss people took for granted.

Nah everyone knew we’d miss him a lot

How much more do we have to watch OG aim and short arm and JB telegraph his selfish moves

That’s incredibly superficial thinking… very slow

Thats flat out wrong. This team under Thibs has been great defensively for 3 of 4 years when he has an elite rebounding and rim protecting 5 along with enough wing defenders.

Mitch was also getting DPOY talk last year before he went down....

HE would make a HUGE difference.Our biggest issue by FAR is rebounding especially when Towns is out as well as rim protection all game.

That is EXACTLY what Mitch brings and/or if we trade for a guy like Kessler/Richards

We barely scored 100 pts against a team that is 19th in the league defensively, we have lost to the Hawks 2x, Pistons, Jazz, Pacers and Bulls. If the talent is good, then of course it's the goddamn coach's fault. How the hell is he not to blame for the awful offensive sets they were running?

30-14 3rd quarter

Offense has completely stalled...guys are tired.

If this game doesn't convince the doubters that another elite rim protecting and rebounding five is our biggest need than nothing will.

Getting outrebounded was effort.

Problem was We couldn't score... We avg 117 PPG and couldn't hit a wide open 3 and didn't break 100 until they gave us garbage time dunks...

Guys didn't execute

Yeah watching him play last night hurts. He's a mobile rebounder and defender. I don't know if a healthy Mitch returning will give us the same

Except when he has to guard a big man in the playoffs and than he plays without a brain
