Here's to Melo not shooting so much and taking better shots.

I don't see that happening. Another well coached team, a significant disadvantage. Here's to seeing Grant try to guard KAT and Abrines on Wiggins.

Hope real Westbrook will be back. Teague used to play well against him.

Ah well. They were supposed to be well coached last season too and couldn't defend a scarecrow.

They still looked poor defensively against the Spurs in the opener, the Spurs scored easily all game even without Kawhi.

We were even worse against Utah.

At least it's not like we are playing some back to back game given the fact that we didn't really played yesterday.

Ok I’m going to try to be more positive. I really expected us to strugggle early in the year so I surprised myself when I got so pissed.

Minnesota has their fair share of issues offensively. A lot of iso plays, very little spacing.

But they're like us, they only have what, two starters that are the same from last season? So it could be either a fun game packed with superstars or a really ugly offensive game.
