Mega Thread Minnesota Timberwolves Thread - The Finch Era begins

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

We're making a habit of coming back from 15-20 points down lately. Good game.

 

[power09]

Feels like we haven't played a poor or even average team in ages.
Games are still real competitive though.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Havent watched latest game. Are we now playing pick and roll d?

 

[Upgrayedd]

Andrew Wiggins will end up the second best Timberwolf ever


We F**king fleeced Cleveland

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Surprised yesterday's ejection was only KG's ninth; would've thought that number would be higher. Was a ridiculous ejection regardless.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

As much as I'm not a fan of the trade we're certainly much more fun to watch and much better overall with KG around. Just hope it's a lasting impression and not just a consequence of him being on the court/bench.

We havent played pnr d in a loong time. K love was horrific and pekovic doesnt like being outside the key

We've had some shocking big men defenders. I think darko was our last good defender

 

[Upgrayedd]

Lavine's defense is starting to get to a respectable level

Start of the season he was horrific.

i think the Dunk Contest may of put some belief into him that he could be an NBA player

Glenn Robinson III waived in order to sign Justin Hamilton. Know next to nothing about him but his numbers aren't flash.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Does anyone know what our players contract status's are? I'd love to have Neal off the bench next season

Thanks heaps mate

I'd love to keep Neal around too but the guy was reportedly quite upset we refused to waive him post-trade. Can't see him hanging around. Has been great for us though.

He tries hard and he has a nice shot even though he never uses it. He has no athleticism whatsoever though. He's also fairly weak physically.

Thanks. So more likely to be a semi-warm body to play at the five if worst comes to worst than a solid contributor?

Yeah basically just depth. He will give his all when called upon. Pretty sure he started for us for a bit and didn't disgrace himself. One was against Dwight from memory and he battled pretty hard.

Edit: didn't start, was first man off the bench.

Told you he could shoot

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Hamilton and Gorgui work really well together.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I'm not watching - is the box score correct in listing Payne starting at SF and Wiggins at PF?

Also, yay for having eight active players - two of which are top ups.

God I hate Jazz games, their callers are shocking. If they were the only guys you listened to you would think this Jazz team is the best team ever assembled.
I remember this same flog last year saying Love was really overrated and wouldnt be able to handle Favors down low because he is 'a beast'.
Love ended up with a triple double and we flogged them.

I would love some veterans and Shabazz to play this game...

But instead we are pretty much tanking and Budinger is playing PF and they are still celerbrating like idiots every time Gobert gets a block but crickets for Gorgui's...

 

[Upgrayedd]

"Wolves caught napping on the boards"

"Lavine guarding booker on the fast break, Gobert follows up with an offensive board against an out of position Lavine

Yeah. Marvel at Gobert's work rate on that one F**ksticks.


Worst commentators, Laying into our "Tanking" while then 2 minutes later saying "Oh we were the youngest team in the NBA, its to be expected"

 

[power09]

OH LAWWWWD

 

[Upgrayedd]

Pretty gay for Lavine BTW

Has that Aggression cockiness as Westbrook, Not as powerful, But as explosive

I liken him to Gerald Green TBO.Better shooting mechanics.Smarter player

If he cleaned up his handles, Damn

 

[power09]

Salutes all round lol
