Yep, I like the way they're both looking. I would like to see much more culver

The guy looks like he's stoned out there. Throws lazy passes all the time. Sure, he makes some Threes, but he's a pretty inefficient scorer overall, and the ball movement isn't good. Would much prefer that he wasn't on the team (especially having Rubio now)

Rubio's done much of nothing in this game while Russell is tied for the game's leading scorer and this is the time you choose to knock him... Just seems odd to me. I will never understand these takes.

I agree. Those two guys are our only bright spots tonight so far. Well, DLO too. He's shooting well.

Beasley... yikes. At least two blown layups and bricking threes

This team plays with no fire and no pride. Preseason or not these guys look like they are just going through the motions. I hate that. I want intensity and a hate of losing.

Gorgui would easily be our best PF right now.

DLO has really stepped up now. A nice rebound, followed by a nice steal.

I'd take Grayson Allen on my team any day

So you're gonna tell me that Russell isn't an overpaid ball stopper? Were you watching that 1st quarter? So what if a couple went in gross. He's your guy that you're riding to the playoffs? Seriously, I'll never understand these takes

Also, I'm just criticizing his offense for a max player... should we talk defense?

Let's just say that it would be really nice to have a player of Ja Morant's caliber. The Wolves are a slow team purportedly designed to play fast. It's poor perimeter shooting team that's purportedly built to rely on 3-point shooting. It's a poorly coached team striving for an identity that doesn't match its talent and, in the end, it has no identity other than bad. And I can hardly imagine building a team around two players as poor defensively as KAT and DLO. Rosas seems to think his slow, poor shooting team can play fast, shoot the lights out and out-score opponents.
