I don't know that I will watch another NBA game this year. I am tired of watching this team being disrespected by the officials. This latest call is insane. I have watched repeatedly as guys are tucking in their jerseys' while other players are shooting their FT's. Why is it suddenly a technical during a dead ball? I hope the wolves are protesting this.

I've never heard Jim Pete complain every game about the bad officiating. I doubt there is anything going on behind the scenes, (Refs betting against the Wolves or something who knows though) but the officiating has been quite ridiculous at times.

OKC understands what they are trying to do as a team, MN on the other hand looks lost frequently. Out of control JC or Josh, periods of KAT not being involved. What is MN's identity on offense? What is the primary team concept? OKC put us in pick and roll or obtained a switch off the pick and cleared lanes to attack all game, late shot clock the ball goes to Paul, Danilo, Shai, or Schroder. They appear to have an identity or understanding of what they are trying to do as a team on offense, MN not so much.

Teague plays up against Schroder and it seems like playing against certain players in the league depends on his level of motivation. This is what bothers me most about Teague, I see a player that should be just under the elite PG's. However he allows himself to be inconsistent and play well one game followed by many sub par games. I think with a player like this you have to pound into his head "attack Jeff" and if you see him fading take him out have a talk and get him back in and demand he attacks. 20+ points a night should be his goal, that would get him attacking and give him a tangible way to measure if he's using his talents or being passive.

There are many things I could rant about but I'll just focus on Graham. His defense is so over rated, he's physical and hustles but that does not make you a good defender. Put a faster player on him and his physical style / hustle just leads to lots of fouls. As a coach you have to realize his weakness, defending speed and his own shooting. On defense play him against other physical players and avoid speed, on offense his role is constant movement. He should be a basket cutter and look to pass or drive anytime he has the ball. More than anything, unless he improves on offense he should get very little minutes.

Lol I thought Bell was solid. His stats looked good but I don't think he plays as good as they were but he was solid.
