We need layman back asap and saunders needs the balls to bench Dieng, Graham, and Napier.

Shorten the rotation.

This team is one vacation to Fiji away from being competitive.

Another game where hes wrapped up in the individual matchup. For someone trying to prove he should have been all NBA hes not very convincing.

Well, turns out the defensive improvement I thought this squad showed in the first 15 games or so was just a mirage. We're back to being a bottom 5 defense. Teams are absolutely torching us of late. Say what you will about the offense we run, but it's defense that helped keep us pretty competitive early on and now it's back to our usual spot near league-worst. We have given up 121 points or more the past 5 games. Pathetic.

I think everyone has accepted that our defense isnt going to be good. These supposedly defense first players (culver, okogie, roco) have done nothing for us this year on either end.

We have a bunch of all defense no offense wings, but not much is going to change unless our bigs can defend. Vonleh is our best defensive, but he doesnt play because we cant find him minutes.

Bad offense also hurts your defense. It leads to a ton of fastbreak opportunities for the opposition and considering Minnesota's offense is lacking much off-ball movement, the opposition really doesn't have to work all that hard to stop it anyway.

I agree about the bigs, but if our wings arent making an identifiable difference on either end, we may as well opt for offense.

We have no offense outside of wiggs and kat. (and the rare aggressive teague sighting.

Teague and napier together is all about squeezing some offense out, but their defense is abysmal.
