Hahahaha

I can't understand why Ryan can't coach to a victory a team with Bayless/Canaan at PG and sharpshooters Okogie and Wiggins the only available wings. There's no excuse for losing with the outstanding players he has available to coach...he should be fired tonight.

You are the same guy who said he doesn't understand how the wolves were underdogs tonight. Also the same guy who said that was upset that thibs wasn't playing bayless

it's really a bad look after doing nothing at the deadline. And by the way, it looks like Thibs was a better defensive coach than we gave him credit for, because without him, we are shit on the defensive end.

Yeah, the defense is painful to watch tonight. And that's been the story all year in almost every game that Butler or Covington have missed. Remember the defensive enbarrassment of pre-season? Ouch. And it looked like we were making some strides in guarding the perimeter...4th in the league in Ryan's first 10 games despite having our best perimeter defender out. But tonight our defense looks as bad as it has at its worst this season. Depressing...

That last bucket by Josh is why he's going to be a very good player. He has the ballhandling skills and instincts good wings have.

Lol...please show me the post where I was upset Thibs wasn't playing Bayless! I have consistently (perhaps too often) said what a hardship it is for Ryan to have to coach a team starting it's 4th best point guard. Thibs had 3 healthy PGs most of the year this year, and I never would have suggested he play his 4th option...cone on, kek! That said, Bayless has been better than I would have expected because I haven't liked his game since his college year. But I'd be surprised if anyone here sees him as anything other than our 4th option...with Canaan our 5th.

I'm still trying to figure out why Taj is getting more minutes than Dario.

Yeah, it's his second good game in a row on the offensive end...he seems to be more in control this week and taking much better shots.

I want to be clear when I compare him to bazz. He is a young player and he does things I like a lot so of course i'm not giving up on him. I just think he is becoming selfish with the ball and those passing abilities haven't shown lately.

I hope he can turn it around

Not quite sure what Ryan is thinking...Dario was terrific against Memphis and terrific in the 1st half tonight. Dario simply has to get the majority of the minutes if they want any chance of coming back in this game.
