I have a hard time thinking of a worse matchup for our big lineup than this Pacers team. We are tall, but we are slow. But now is the time to try it out to see what happens.

Ugly. Just a terrible set of starting unit matchups with the slow and lumbering Wolves against the nimble and smaller Pacers.

Ha, we saw the same thing then. If anything we have learned from the past decade or so of NBA basketball is that speed, shooting, and quickness beats superior size almost every single time.

And Donte is the first PG off the bench.

Should have started Shannon in Jaden’s absence. I get the pecking order thing for this game, but in the future…

I’m at the game, and the Pacers are just playing harder, smarter and more physical. It’s a beat down. Embarrassing.

Yup, he and Clark match up so much better against Indiana. Clark ate into DDV's minutes there in Q2 because Finch wanted some defense and Jaylen delivered. That dude could be a 1st team all-NBA defender if he ever plays enough minutes to qualify. Fun to watch him out there.

Dillingham was flat-out awful in the first half. Did almost nothing that resulted in a positive play and made numerous mistakes.

Both MN point guards have been overwhelmed by the Pacers. Not good.

Jaylen is the only Wolf bringing the dawg tonight. Sad Hammon has been solid.

Gobert is being outplayed by some white guy named Huff. WTF Rudy?
