He does that constantly

I really like to see Coby and Vuc traded tomorrow but it's pretty unlikely.

Poor effort rebounding is responsible for this loss. Ironically Billy called a timeout 30 seconds into the game because of this.

Road game, 2nd night of a b2b, no more Zach. Expect plenty more like this one the rest of the way.

I've never seen a coach as bad as Billy at reviews.

Sit Vuc down, this game is done.

They need him healthy for the play-in, don't over-exert him.

He'll be here.

They need him for the play-in push!

Matas is gonna have rough nights, but he needs to play. Some bad misses and he got worked on the glass and defensive end, but 3 blocks and 9 FTAs are very encouraging. NINE FTAs for a scrawny rookie is damn impressive. His iso handles and first-step are really effective... That Wolves defense is no joke.

TBH Pat needs to play too. I know it was a relatively bad game, but he's turned a corner since the benching... and ditching Zach will help (if he's going to get better)... I'm not using Demar/Zach/Vuc presence as an excuse for his terrible development, but it sure didn't help.

The rebounding was atrocious. Having a smaller guy at each position sure doesn't help. And Vuc is just the worse, at this point. The offensive rebounding disparity was hilarious/sad. This is great for the tank.

I'm so happy we don't have to be held hostage by Lavine anymore. I will be even happier with Vuc gone. He's done.

Buz still looked good

Also Carter should not be playing. Some of these lineups are really questionable by billy. If he's trying to win 2 of ayo/coby/giddy (and Lonzo) can always be on the court. Carter got wayyyy too many mins and the lineups with him didn't make any sense

With ball replacing him and less minute for Phillips the team is going to improve.

Matas needs 35 MPG for rest of the year. Everyone else on the roster can kick rocks

Another good scoring game from Giddey. I think this gonna the more the norm now that Zach is gone. 24 and 19 in first two games since the trade. It’s his time to show what he can do.

They'd need him healthy for being traded.

And he has played really well,we can build around him and the youngs,,extending Lonzo will help in this way too ,if only we could move Vuc and Coby today we'd be fine for a rebuilding.
