I think I'm going to call it good and go to bed but I can't believe I'm legitimately excited to see more of Culver lol

Nice to see!

I thought i read some perspectives that we could be a top 10 offense. Yikes.

I'm not sure Okogie should be in the rotation. If that's the best we can offer, help.

Guys, Karl-Anthony Towns, Malik Beasley, and Ricky Rubio have played like absolute shit tonight and here you are running your keyboard fingers talking about D'Angelo Russell, who has played a fine -- not spectacular -- game overall. This is absolute lunacy. This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's exhausting and this board is usually smarter than this.

Yeah, I might be walking that one back myself. On paper, on talent alone -- I think they could be a top-10 offense. But I forgot to incorporate whatever this system is that they play in. It's super ugly.

People get their favorites and just lock in on the deficiencies of other players. Its just part of the trauma of cheering for a losing team Im afraid.

And how about Nowell over Beasley? Or how about Noel and Giles over H-Gomez. Wait, they're not here - apparently, not a good fit for our style of play. :)

I wasnt trying to single you out Cam. There are a lot of national writers and local beat guys that were implying the same thing. Its too bad because I feel on paper you're totally right. I dont really see a system. The ball movement is really bad.

Watching Nowell I see something I haven't seen for a long time in a Wolves uniform, namely perimeter defense.
