Considering that the team is already last in attendance... do they just assume that it can't get any worse?
It's easy to be apathetic about a lousy team. It's even easier when the team is even more apathetic about it. I guess I just don't see the play here...
New regimes get a honeymoon period. And often, a boost from fans who had hoped for a change. That's basically gone at this point, right?

Honeymoon is gone from me. The biggest change in culture would be to actually show that you hate losing and that you're ecstatic that any fan would actually follow this horrible franchise. The fact that this board exists after 30 years of losing should be cited as a unique and possibly problematic brand of loyalty that is a rarity today. I honestly dont know why i continue to care, I'd like some evidence that Taylor does.

Ha. The "Towns is unhappy" takes are actively being loaded throughout the social media-verse...
Our good buddy, Darren Wolfson, is among those sharing them from Ethan Sherwood Strauss and others.

I think Wiggins bench persona as more frustrated then I've ever seen in prior years. I use to see him all the time laughing and joking it up no matter the score. Now he actually looks genuinely mad. He might actually care about the outcome now.

How is the product we're seeing on the court now better than a full rebuild. A rebuild gives hope, this current team is almost unwatchable.

Unfortunately, Rosas has given me little faith that he's capable of making good moves post-Towns and Saunders has shown absolutely nothing to make me think he's the guy to develop whatever we got in return. The Wolves are, once again, a mess.

They haven't tanked since Madsen in 06. When this team shows you how bad they are, believe them.

They did NOT tank.
Remember, the only reason that Wolves squad stunk at the end was because Kevin Garnett quit on the team.
Right, Mr. Taylor?

For someone who has maybe the best seats in the arena, I don't know what Glen Taylor watches.

We are rebuilding. You just haven't realized it yet.
