Tough game to watch. This team looks terrible. Maybe we are saving our good play for the regular season. The good news is if we lock in a top 3 pick we get it.

This is absolute lunacy. This is exactly what I'm talking about. It's exhausting and this board is usually smarter than this.

Hey, I'm not a fan of towns or Beasley at all... mentally weak team. And poorly coached, with an idiot gm and a senile owner... I think that's all four levels of the cycle there. But you have to admit that most nights Dlo is right there with the rest. Or maybe you don't have to admit that lol

Definitely. I'll add that I don't see any Andrew Wiggins in him. He's serious and intense and gets to loose balls.

Music to my ears! I don't think I could take another 5 years of Wiggins like "hope".

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.

It's true. I like culver and that's about it on this team.

I like RHJ's energy. Seriously, the Wolves players I like the least these past two games are KAT and DLO. Well, I should add H-Gomez to the list. Beasley hasn't played well, but i like his attack mentality and energy. The guys I like the most are Nowell and Culver. Tonight, I'm also liking Edwards and RHJ.

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. :)

Bingo! I would have loved either of those guys! Very top of my list. And yeah, I'd much rather see nowell over Beasley

Hollis-Jefferson has been good tonight albeit mostly in garbage time minutes. Probably won't matter when Gersson Rosas waives him.

I didnt like Culver last year but think by his length alone we may as well start him. Culver, like Dlo is not without his warts either. But really this team has nothing to gain by catering to "stars" who have proven nothing. I like Dlo personally but hate the pressure to hide a defender without a unique defender next to him. This is why i start Culver and keep him glued to every unit with DLo. I could care less about Rubio playing with Dlo.

Edwards overthinking. Like the bounce in energy with him and McDaniels out there together.

Very rare case of wanting a player to be more selfish and just take the shot they have in front of them.
