Wolves 4-11 3-pointers. Clippers 8-16 (more takes & more makes)
Wolves 6 assists. Clippers 22 assists (Sadly, this isn't surprising)

Is there a problem with the Wolves offense? Of course there is. Will the offense be a lot worse without Jimmy Butler? Yes. Can the Wolves succeed offensively with their outdated iso offense without Jimmy? No. Should Thibodeau be fired? Hmm. Gosh, that's a tough one.


I think the problem is with teague and rose. The second unit move the ball just fine.

Butler's probably watching this and feeling even better about demanding a trade.

The offense is just teague and rose overdribbling abd isoing into traffic.

We got an open 3 from the wiggs/kat 2 man game to start the game. Haven't been back to it since.

Wiggins literally can't beat anyone off the dribble. Doesn't have the skill with the dribble to do it.

What's the story with Teague? I don't mind him missing his shots, he looks so frustrated on the floor.

We have to make a trade. Rose cannot start in the NBA.

Why wouldn't you experiment with some different lineups. I'd like to see Tollever and Kat together. But that would be dumb to try

Last season it was Teague and Butler overdribbling. But Butler could regularly hit contested 2-pointers at the end of the shot clock.

It's hard to run an offense as a PG when there'snot offense to run. Hence, Teague's frustration.

Somebody should tell Thibs it is preseason. How about moving wig to 2 and bringing Tolly or Deng. THibs is just to damn stubborn to be a coach.
