What is it about Minnesota that makes pro sports look like the hardest thing ever to be good at while it looks easy as ever for everyone else?

Cool, it is embarrassing, it's embarrassing because not one player is talking, yelling, pointing or communicating! Watch Westbrook so his passion and then a passive Twolves team.

Cut Lucas/Pek and sign Larry Sanders. I don't care if he's rusty or crazy, we need someone who can stop someone in the middle.

Ricky and Towns are supposed to be our best defenders and they are becoming our worst. Slim points it out correctly, Ricky's instincts aren't enough. His athleticism is just not NBA level.

Totally untrue BS. Your haterade on Ricky is tiring.

The games Minnesota has struggled are against teams with high level PG's. They high pick and roll against Rubio and he gets destroyed every time. I believe it's time to let Dunn flex!

Towns is a joke on defense and Ricky can't stay in front of anyone nor fight around screens at all. It's not that far from being true.

Agree 100%. He gets burned regularly by the top level NBA points and it's not enough to watch him chase them around the court.

Teamricky....what games are you watching unless this is pure sarcasm. If Ricky could attack the rim and finish, or hit a Sam Cassel 15' shot, then defense wouldn't be his only strength. And that factor is subpar against any PG who is athletic and can push the rock and attack.
