This stat is telling...Towns, who's surrendered a 73.3% field goal percentage within six feet on defense, is providing less statistical resistance than any big man in the league right now.

Reminiscent of his early years with the Wolves when he was a full time Center and they tried using him in drop coverage. Just a total disaster. KAT finally started doing better in a high wall scheme in the PatBev year and then seemed to just improve in general defensively since then with the Wolves. Not sure what the Knicks scheme is, but if it's drop coverage it should be no surprise that he's struggling.

Yeah. But I think KAT will move back to PF when Robinson comes back, with OG moving back to SF and Hart moving into his 6th man role. When that happens, I think their defense will be much improved and they will be ready to challenge the Cavs and Celtics.

Hear Pelicans are getting tired of Zion. Maybe a randle for Zion trade? Feel like we need to change things as the team chemistry is way off. Maybe we can somehow fix Zion.

No thanks. Whenever someone needs to be fixed or rehabilitated - for whatever reason - keep them the hell away from the Wolves!

Yeah I think we need to continue to surround Ant with more adults and maturity.

It would be worth the punt. Imagine Zion and Ant playing together - the Smash Bros.

Nuggets lose to Cavs, Spurs lose to the Bulls, and the Suns lost to a beleaguered Pelicans squad. All good developments for the Wolves as we try to climb back into the playoff mix. Dallas and OKC look a cut above everyone else in the West right now. I'm not as much of a believer in Houston even though they are a formidable regular season opponent.

I had a friend back in high school who never quite got over getting dumped by his girlfriend...years later he was still pining for her. Not sure why this just popped into my head...

That is funny. Cam would rather see this team crumble than admit Dlo is not that great.
