I know we're all pretty big fans of this young Twolves roster. Anybody with league pass or in Minnesota have any insight on why they suck? They lost to the Dark Bulls tonight who are 9-9, which puts them at 5-13. The records should probably be reversed based on talent (47 from KAT!). And man, Kris Dunn has been a Mudiay level of suckage, probably even worse actually.

I've watched a fair amount of their games. I honestly don't know why they are are only 5-13. Should be closer to 8-10 or 9-9. Seems like they are gassed by the start of the second half. They can't close games. Thibs hasn't fixed their defense. Lavine is super talented, but is often lost on defense.

I can see them being much better in the second half of the season and getting around 35-40 wins. They're so young, they're figuring it out. I look for Rubio to get traded. They need a point guard who can get buckets.

They should play Tyus Jones more. I could see Thibs trading Shabazz Muhammad or somebody for Deng somehow. What they really need is Jimmy Butler. Send back Andrew Wiggins plz.

Good for the Bucks lol. I got a lot of shit when I was up there last year for a Bulls game but it all in good fun.

Giannis is a monster. Is he playing any of his minutes at PG this season or are they letting Dickadova and Terry's corpse handle that?

[Monkey_Driven]

Not going to lie, I try to watch the Bucks and Knicks any time I can to watch the Greek Freak and the Zinger. Two really unique, fun players.

The Warriors aren't getting near the attention they did last year. Durant showing up made them boring. Super teams are so 2011.

The opening game loss was the best thing that could have happened to burst the media hoopla bubble. If they can win a few more and get to 20 straight wins the hype train will be rolling again.

Man I hope if cousins and wall do play together they take that trainwreck to Sacramento and not Washington

I think Wall has proven at this point he's not a championship caliber point guard. Cousins could still be a key cog for a winner I think.

That's fine. But I would love to see Wall not in Washington anymore

I still think if Wall is engaged he is just as good as or better than Kyrie. Sometimes you just need better teammates and the right situation.

This Clips/Cavs game is very fouly.

We're all Houston Rockets this morning.

I'm not a fan of Kyrie's one dimensional game but John Wall airballs that dagger three from game seven last year. And there's your key difference.

23 points from the warriors bench in a double over time game? Well done.

Yeah, they're real bad. I fell asleep in the fourth quarter last night. Was a good game. Warriors couldn't hit any shots.
