Wolves vs Pelicans GDT: Tyus needs more minutes!

[Q12543 [enjin:6621299]]

Why did Thibs leave his starters in until the end? He's done this before where the game is over with and he leaves Wiggins and KAT in there. I don't get it.

Geez. That was a stinker. We are joining the Lakers and Suns in the basement. The thought that we might be this bad at this time of year was unimaginable at the start of the season. It kinda sucks...

Losing Zach hurts a lot just don't have enough scorers with him out. And I am super pissed at towns defense like how can a guy be that bad.

I agree, probably he will play them until they learn defense, there is nobody on the bench besides Dunn (1st game off injury) who is going to be apart of the future

Next season's optimism campaign will be a carbon copy of this year. We'd be fools to fall for it again.

What's weird now is that unless you avidly follow this team, one would be surprised as to why our record is what it is given the talent here.

We're fine offensively....certainly not quite as dangerous as with Zach, but still fine. The defense has been the glaring hole all year. We were turning a corner for a while there, but it has gone to absolute shit again. That effort tonight was a season low.

I thought I went overboard this past offseason, so took what I thought was a realistic guesstimate of 43 wins. We're staring at 29 or less after this loss. We literally have made no progress this season.

I think the offense has been ok, straight iso basketball and we are asking Wig and towns to do everything and the wolves all season go through stretches like tonight when they can't score and the defense is bad in the first place but the offense is becoming really slow and tunnel vision

You know how people question if Ricky can be successful in today's NBA without a jumper? I'm starting to wonder if Thibs can be successful in a league where now scoring 110, 120 points is normal again. And honestly, for a developmental season (which wasn't supposed to be), he's only giving a damn about 3 players on the team (now 2 with LaVine out,) and with such commitment to those three, they look like the crappiest trio defensively we've ever had.

For what it's worth, the guys who seemingly are on their way out have played as good as anyone on this team (Jones, Bazz, Rubio)

[Tactical unit]

As much as I like what I am seeing out of Rubio and believe that he would produce much better on a winning team, we have to move him in my opinion. He probably yields us our best return and we need to free up playing time for Dunn's development. Also it lets Jones play a regular role and might increase his value.

As a floor spacing competent 3pt shooter B. Rush has some trade value. Yes I'll take a 2nd round pick for him! Muhammed also has some value as instant offense off the bench for a team trying to improve it playoff roster.

They are 3 games ahead of last year's pace when they were fully healthy last year. We will see where they end up at the end of the season but I have beating the drum all year that last 10 wins of last year 7 of the teams were missing their best player and in some cases best 2 players. We will see what happens when teams go into tank mode down the stretch.

Not making excuses because I am extremely disappointed
