For those of you missing Pat Beverley on this team - and I really liked him on the squad last year - he has gotten off to an awful start. He still defends and hustles, but he does almost nothing on offense. Oh, and that little team in L.A. he starts for is winless!
The Utah Jazz - one of the teams that we are supposed to feel angry and embarrassed about losing to - is cruising to victory against Memphis and on their way to a 6-2 record.

When you give a team the equivalent of 6 first round picks for one of their best players and they also trade their other best player, there is no excuse for losing to that team... None. Yeah, they're way better than anyone thought and they're apparently run by some pretty smart people (obviously Ainge). I know I'm a broken record, but boy do the wolves look stupid right now. If I'm the wolves ownership, I'm asking TC why Utah has a better team than us right now (today)... if we don't make the playoffs this year this might be a new all time low for us as wolves fans. I know it's early, but if we don't get some better perimeter defense and some better guard play on offense, this WILL happen. The west is too good this year and I think we're in trouble.

Yep. Not making the playoffs this season would definitely be a new all-time low for this franchise. And that's saying something given the history of this franchise! There's a long way to go, but I'm troubled by what we've seen so far. By the way, the team that got Utah's other star is doing really well.
Team has played like shit but has a winning record and we're talking about not making the playoffs? They will improve, they have to much talent not too.

Cleveland is a good example of a team that is utilizing two bigs with success
