Here's to hoping Melo has a turnaround type of outing tonight.

Let's go Knicks!

the problem for the wolves was this was not supposed to be a tank year, they were supposed to take the next step, and they have failed miserably so far...

Here is an article written by Chris Herring on the Wolves that documents 3rd quarter troubles for the Wolves:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-cant-the-timberwolves-finish-games/?ex_cid=story-twitter

Not making excuses and not defending Thibs (I got you dep) but its not like the Wolves havent been capable of playing great basketball. They just fail to do so consistently throughout the game.

Ive never been a fan of Rubio and I'm losing my faith in Gorgui Dieng, especially as Towns should be a full time center but he's not seasoned as a rim protector yet (but what second year center is?).

Like you said, the Wolves are done tanking, but they haven't exactly gotten the veteran leadership to transition them to the next phase. I hardly consider Rubio or Aldrich part of the solution.
no Noah tonight  
Enzo : 11/30/2016 7:46 pm : link
due to a sprained ankle. Is that a good thing? Regardless, we're barely into the season and this guy has already dealt with 3 different health issues.
God I hope  
bceagle05 : 11/30/2016 7:52 pm : link
there's an amnesty clause in the new CBA. I didn't think Noah would be THIS bad.

there hasn't been much reported on the changes to the CBA but I think it was Windhorst who said he was hearing there probably would NOT be an amnesty clause.

That's a shame. Why is that? Don't amnestied player still get paid in full?
They look GOOD  
adamg : 11/30/2016 8:14 pm : link
Passing the ball. Getting open shots. Rose driving. Keep up the tempo.
towns apparently already getting superstar calls

He didn't want that third foul.

To stay out of foul trouble tonight or it's going to go south fast.
Towns in Wilt Chamberlain mode.

Might have to unleash Plumlee on his ass.
No fucking defense again

get the benefit of the whistle..

there was a lot more contact on that jennings drive than on the foul they just called on the other end...really is rediculous
You do not want to steal from Jennings  
adamg : 11/30/2016 8:49 pm : link
Dude is a spark plug with an unending battery life who will out work you.

Loved that series on the D end. Kooz and Holiday busting it too. Let's go!

Get Kooz the ball man

Jennings and Rose with the bad shot selection. Shocking they start chucking up crappy shots and the lead drops by 4.

Didn't want to blame Melo. But I was thinking it.
Courtney Lee is out

Too bad, he was shooting good tonight.
Porzingis just put Towns down on his ass with a block!!!

this is my game to take over..
Jennings and Rose  
Earl the goat : 11/30/2016 9:09 pm : link
As a backcourt is exciting
Kooz needs more minutes
Setup well  
giantsfan44ab : 11/30/2016 9:09 pm : link
If the wolves have a typical 3rd Q collapse it should be a win.

Plumlee looks really good  
adamg : 11/30/2016 9:40 pm : link
Aggressive. Good D.
Does Melo  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/30/2016 9:40 pm : link
know the point of a pick? It's to allow him space when he moves.

He just stands there with KP and the defender on him as he launches up a contested shot.
dieng literally just comes in and shoves everyone  
nygiants16 : 11/30/2016 9:40 pm : link
no calls...

PhiPsi125 : 11/30/2016 9:44 pm : link
the whistles too? 28 - 8 free throw disparity? I've been watching the entire game and it's a damn travesty based on what I'm seeing. Just awful.
Fucking Melo...  
adamg : 11/30/2016 9:51 pm : link
taking shots away from Kooz.

And taking bad shots at that. He's really annoying to watch half the time.
Tell you what..  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 11/30/2016 9:52 pm : link
Jennings started off slow. But if he continues to play like this and be more consistent with his shot. He has a chance at 6th man of the year.
KOOOOZ!!

Kooz

Has it really gotten to the point where people are complaining about Melo taking away shots from a rookie who has been shooting 39% for the year? Christ.
dieng literally just grabbed kps arm and pulled him back

right in front of the official no call, wow this may be the most one sided officiated game i have ever seen...
