Allen and parsons are sitting. But so is wiggins and bazz

Thibs real mad about lack of transition defense by the 2nd unit. Dunn has look pretty bad in general

Trump just said for Dunn not to win the ROY the system would have to be rigged!

How can Tyus be a -22 in only 11 minutes?

The 2nd unit/3rd unit has been trash. Such sloppy play, missing layups and wide up jumpshots, and diving up easy shots in the other end

Get ready for heavy minutes by our starters guys

Some of it is skewed because wiggins and bazz didn't play but man has it been bad

LOL! I'm not even a political guy - but I have to watch it. It's like comedy central.

My wife insisted on watching it. Anybody know a good divorce lawyer?

I came home tonight hoping to be able to watch some live sports but both the Cubs Dodgers game and this game weren't available. I turned it on for a while. At least I don't feel as riled up and disconcerted as the last 2 but I probably only watched 15 minutes. That's probably good for my mental health.

I didn't watch our 4th quarter train wreck, but I watched the replay of the first 2 and a half quarters. It wasn't even close when our starters were on the floor. We didn't seem to skip a beat without Wiggins as it meant more of a featured role for Zach, who got things started early, and Towns.

A few quick hitters;

- Dunn isn't even close to displacing Rubio. Anyone who is speculating this hasn't watched a second of pre-season. The contrast couldn't have been more stark tonight....and it's not just about Dunn's cold shooting. Rubio fits like a glove with that first unit.

- Man Thibs is constantly barking at his players. I could see that wear on guys after a while. He seems like the kind of coach that is really good for a young up and coming team. But after a few years, I could see us needing a more cerebral coach that lets the best players be coaches on the floor while he's playing a chess match over the course of the season.

- I realize Memphis was missing a couple guys, but I'm not sure they can keep pace with the up and coming teams out West, including Minnesota. Gasol looked too slow to keep up with KAT....although it was pre-season so may be he was just going 70%.

- I like Rush....makes solid decisions out there and knows his role. He could definitely spot start for LaVine or Wiggins if either gets hurt.

- Worried about our depth......

Just looking at the box score he did plenty of good things but who knows how he ended up minus 30. To contrast Lucas was a pretty terrible minus 21 but was scoreless had a rebound and 2 TOs.
