I don't like to read too much into pre-season, but Zach LaVine for MVP

The Rubio part isn't that weird unfortunately. Is 2 for 5 too much to ask?


Rubio coming into a pre-season without any improvement to his 'much improved jumpshot' is just expected these days. I'm starting to think his shooting coach doesn't exist.

This starting unit is so bad defensively

Rubio needs to at least try and attack. Everytime he gets the ball, he's in pass mode. Zach is going to need some help from his backcourt partner.

I'm starting to think his shooting coach (whoever he is) isn't the problem.

Good shot by Rubio, he needs to shoot more even if he misses

Everyone needs to chill. This will take a while for everyone to get use to the syatem and defense.

Thibs is going to go into early retirement after seeing the defense in this game.

I purchased a team pass for the Wolves, but it is telling me the games are blacked out (I'm in the Chicagoland area).

I tried talking to the NBA online chat help, and he said it's possible no one is recording at the arena. How are you guys watching it? Anyone else able to watch these games on nba.com?

Everyone sucked outside of Lavine tonight.

Can't really say anyone looked decent outside of Zach either..lol.

Just a horrible second half.

It's also been two straight games where Bazz is a complete ball hog and just puts up shots no matter where he is on the court.

11 3pa's from Rubio/Dunn/Bazz seems like way too many
