Towns need to pull his head out of his ass.

Only 5? Hell, I put the Over/Under at 11.

Probably, just not wanting to admit it yet.

You heard it here first, they're going to win the 3rd quarter!

Also, quite a few too many bad shots by Towns.

LaVine, you left Carroll twice to gamble, and he knocked them down. So you do it a third time in a row??

Yup, that second stint by the starters was awful defensively.

Did you see the one play where Rubio gave Lowry the baseline side, only for Towns to take a crap angle. How hard is it to coach these bigs to get to the freakin' spot and get square defensively. Stop with the side-angle block B.S.!!! It doesn't work!!!!

Yessir, good observation

Yep, I agree. I asked a couple times in another thread if anyone could come up with any tangible differences in Thibs' defensive system, and nobody had any. Tonight though it appears to me that he asks his perimeter players to give their man the inside move to an extreme degree...never noticed this before tonight. I like this strategu if the bigs rotate to help out, but only Aldrich can be counted on to consistently be there.

Well, these 3rd quarter woes are going to land another high draft pick on our team.

Anybody seen this movie before? Feeling grateful I have an 8pm phone call.

That was an awesome time out by our coach, let's give the man some credit here!

When will Thibs yank all the starters and just put the bench in? Pull a Pop!

So many mental lapses. Struggling on offense due to bad ball movement then we allow an easy cherry pick. The only one who seemed to notice someone was behind the whole team was Towns.

Agree 100%. Time to send a message and see who doesn't feel owed a spot and will fight for it.

That was sexy how Wiggins got beat getting back and gave away the cheap foul for a bonus!!
