Honestly KPJ and Kuzma aren’t looking like bad acquisitions. Small sample size but Khris was cooked physically and these guys can at least move.

Always fun to beat a Minnesota team at their place. Great game.

This game was a great case study in +/-

Rollins was a +14

Porter Jr was a -12

But we don’t win that game without KPJ.

Any time you can “hold” Ant to 10-33 shooting and 4-17 from three you should probably win, but we almost found a way not to

Wow, stole one! It's a relief, after all the wins thrown away this season. 5 games up instead of 3 at the break is different.

I didn't watch much of it, so can only speak about down the stretch. The offensive execution was terrible. We couldn't get into anything. Just did enough there in the end. But the defense was much tighter, w/ KPJ & Kuz. Kuz helped on the boards too.

Was it weird watching a guy on our team who can dribble well? The last guy we had who could actually handle as a guard was Brandon Jennings. Before that Luke Ridnour. Before that Rafer Alston. Few and far between my friends.

Do you ever get tired of doing the same bit over, and over, and over again?

no question. he can play. not even assimilated yet.

but dont underestimate watching 39 minutes from kuzma tho. just having a guy who can give a 5-7 out of 10 starter performance every night for that block of time is honestly what this team needed as much as anything. we dont win this thing without his contribution on both sides.

Maybe in singular game +/-. Over a large sample, it's literally all that matters, whether your team can win w/ you or not.
