Rough 5 minutes for the Wolves to close the game out. LaVine and Young TOs started the freefall. Young missed a couple bunnies too. Not to mention Boston found their stroke late. All in all, a good game to watch.

Muhammad: 38 mins, 26 Pts (11-15 FG, 2-2 3P, 2-2 FT), 5 Reb, 5 Ast

That's tonight's silver lining. He was great. Also was OK on defense. Not bad by any means and was matched up with Jeff Green for a lot of the time.

He's not just good. He's necessary for this team. What's it gonna take for Wiggins to even attain a fraction of the fight Bazz brings?

Patience, just like some of us afforded Shabazz. Now, if it was 4 years in the league...

Man these games are getting unwatchable.

Shabazz and Budinger were the two bright spots.

The defense, though, oof. Sulliger, Zeller, and Olynyk absolutely destroyed our "bigs", if you can call them that. And Boston got every single loose ball. Whenever there was a scrum for the ball, they'd come up with it.

Wow, was that a tough game to watch.

I hope Ricky gets back on the court soon. I don't know how much more I can watch of this. If we have switched to rebuilding, why is Bennett still limited on minutes, but yet Thad is playing 35 a night when performing horribly? Is Bennett injured?

My thoughts exactly. Rubio won't be able to save this current mess, but might make it more tolerable. My only thought on AB not playing more is maybe Flip is trying to trade Thad too and thus giving him as many minutes as he possibly can? It's obviously not working as Thad is taking too many shots.

I think we will be surprised how much smoother things look offensively and defensively with Rubio on the floor.

I don't know how anybody could be surprised at such things. Rubio is the teams General, he's who the young guys looked to for direction, they're leaderless without him.

Yes, Bennett is injured. He has painful blisters on his foot that is limiting him in practice and games. Too bad, because it looks like he is getting more agressive around the basket.

Good news on Rubio though...may start practicing next week!
