I don't think playing some reserves is a bad idea. Maybe it will provide a spark like Brooks has done. But Thibs ain't doing that lol

If you think I am praising Ricky’s shooting with that statement, you are completely misreading it. If anything, I’m using his poor shooting to explain to people how bad our offense is.


So our offense has been bad every year Rubio has been in the league?

No, that is not my point. THE OFFENSE IS THE PROBLEM! Minnesota’s offense was phenomenal with Rick Adelman and still good with Flip (despite his shortcomings on adapting to the modern NBA). The issue is that Minnesota runs an iso-heavy offense that devalues efficiency, this idea that Ricky was a reason that our spacing was poor the previous two seasons is objectively ludicrous (every stat proved it), and that the terrible offense and prioritizing of player roles is clearly the problem that leads to such inefficiency.

Cut out Jamal, limit Wiggins, feature Towns, and give Nemanja free-reign. This is basic stuff that literally anybody should realize would make our spacing and efficiency better. It is painfully obvious.

Dieng and Wiggins man. Thats pure comedy right there. Other than chucking a lot of bricks, they offer nothing. Too slow, too weak and too dumb

I could not agree more. We are the worst coached team in the NBA.

The Wolves offensive frequency for iso is under 9% and one of the highest rated offenses in the league.

I wouldn’t go that far, there are some horrid coaches (Billy Donovan).

Bottom ten though? No question in my mind.

Thibs reminds me of Mike Woods on in so many ways as far as coaching styles and that's not good
