Minnesota is ****ing terrible. Gobert has 14 points/18 rebounds and they’re down 20 to Portland at the end of the 3rd.

Ant looks like he hates Rudy… looks like he ain’t trying either. Rudy has also been vocal on defense after ****ups and we know how some guys take that.

This stretch is critical for Minny. They play a bunch of teams that they need to make up some ground on like Portland and LAC… then have a tough little road trip. If they slip up right now the loses could pile up.

They already lost twice to Portland in the last 3 days. I could see them going like 5-9 in their next 14 games and be 18-23 at the halfway point of the season. That’s not great.
 
Where are all the guys who said Minnesota was turning a corner, they’re better without KAT, they look good, etc?

One thing that wasn't talked about with the trade....Rudy is not a leader. Whatever it is about his personality, he cannot be. I don't think it's a requirement for every player (even of his caliber) to be a leader, but he's not that guy. He couldn't convince Donovan to play defense. KAT, Ant, and Russell are like 100x worse than Mitchell as far as attitude. Remember, this is the franchise that ousted Jimmy Butler because of his attitude. This is a team culture and franchise that rejects the hard asses. He's an amazing player, but someone else has to set the culture. This is the a terrible situation for him and his limitations as a leader.

Good for the Jazz, but I do feel bad for him. It's not his fault he's playing with clowns, but he's is definitely not the guy who changes the culture. Rudy is right in the way he approaches the game, but it has the opposite effect when playing with these perpetual losers. I honestly can't see it getting better either. If Mitchell-Gobert was unsalvageable, what does that make Gobert-Towns/Ant/Russell?
 
Don looks like a fantastic defender compare to Minny squad. Rudy get **** up and i'm scare he is trapped there for years. I feel sad for him as depiste his limit, he give 100 % as always.
 
Good news for us is one of the Minny beat writers (Dane Moore) has kinda given up hopes that they will make the playoffs this year.

Still believes the team might be salvageable but not on a short term. He gave an interview to BBALLBREAKDOWN, but I refuse to link that since the guy who runs that YT channel is apparently a huge Gobert hater.

But he didnt lead Dane in that interview.

Minn Front office thought that he would be that kind of change because on paper everything looks great.
You cant manage only using exel, there is a lot of ego in Minny. Good for us. My prediction is they will give us 10-15 pick this year and this is incredible.
 
This season has been especially fun rooting for the Jazz to win and on other nights rooting for the Timberwolves to lose. Sometimes they play on both nights and it is just extra joy.

100% plus rooting against Brooklyn and Philly... we just have our hands in a few pots so we have a reason to watch other situations a little more closely.

I don’t have a lot of faith in that Brooklyn pick being very good they seem to be playing extremely well as of late.

KD will end up missing some time at some point. He misses 10-15 games they might go like 5-10... I think worst case its like 25th pick. They had a 7 game homestand with some cupcakes on it... that Indiana game they won pissed me off though. Sat all they guys and Indiana really sleepwalked through the damn game.
 
The clips offense is so ****ing constipated. Can’t make an open shot… just missed a dunk. This game looks like the first game in my early morning pickup run where no one is warmed up yet. This ain’t a rock fight… it’s a pebble fight. Come on clips… get it together

Lol dude I was about to post something similar. Seriously looks like the first game or two at 6 AM where nobody has stretched or ran laps beforehand.

The gym is also cold cuz they cheap AF… but we got 10 so it’s time to start… Except I think we shoot better cold than they were.
 
Wish GS and Dallas would get their **** together… could be putting some separation between Wolves and the play in.
 
Clippers are shooting 27 percent from the field and 20 from 3
t wolves shooting 38 and 15
lol that is some garbage. 43-38 haltime score. Jazz put up those points in a quarter somewhat often.
