Did you ever think you'd hear an opposing player say that about the Timberwolves this season? I think we're seeing the Vanterpool effect. After the Detroit game, KAT said that before the game Vanterpool challenged the players to "grow up." I've noticed a lot of interaction between players and Vanterpool on the bench. I'm glad we have him.
I think some credit should go to the players. Beasley isn't screwing around. Culver is picking up guys full court. Did the coaching staff get these guys to do that? If so awesome but Beasley doesn't even look like the same defensive player. He went from looking like Bazz to like idk at least competent. Lol
Edit Q made the same point I did but I also should say Lip great post. As Jim Pete often says be hard to play against. It feels like we have some of those guys and the Wolves are utilizing it. I like having Rubio too. If the PF position keeps being meh there will either be a trade or RHJ will be brought back. Clearly we don't need scoring from that spot. Lol
