Harris can't guard Taj. Lol

Wiggs cant hit a ft.

Gallo has it some tough contested jumpers tonight.

His first 2 of the game were the smoothest looking FTs I may have ever seen him shoot...then he misses the last 2. The broadcast I watched didn't give me a good look at the form on the last 2 so idk what was the deal.

The passing and creating open looks for teammates is night and day. Ugh

They were short. He took physical contact while trying to get to the basket. He needs to take an extra breather before taking a ft.

Wiggy = poop emoji

Some telling half-time stats:

Wolves 4-11 3-pointers. Clippers 8-16 (more takes & more makes)
Wolves 6 assists. Clippers 22 assists (Sadly, this isn't surprising)

Is there a problem with the Wolves offense? Of course there is. Will the offense be a lot worse without Jimmy Butler? Yes. Can the Wolves succeed offensively with their outdated iso offense without Jimmy? No. Should Thibodeau be fired? Hmm. Gosh, that's a tough one.

Forgot to mention that the Clippers hit 52% of their shots in the first half while the Wolves hit 41%. Just listened to Sam Cassell. He said he wants his team "to have fun out there." No sign of fun in the way the Wolves play. Oh, and no sign of defense either. :)

How about that turnover by Rose. But the turnover wasn't the story. It was the fact that he turned it over less than a second before the shot clock expired. But again, that's not different from last season.
