Mega Thread Minnesota Timberwolves Thread - The Finch Era begins

[Upgrayedd]

We're ******* horrific

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Bjelica needs to back himself to take his shots more. One of our better shooters yet just doesn't take enough shots.

 

[Messenger]

We're ******* horrific

Yep. Again.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Yep. Again.

was pretty bad seeing the team collectively give up. Rubios clearly getting fustraited. No rim protection at all. Very one dimensional wings

No spacing, no outside shooting.

May as well play Martin, no point in him being DNP-CD.

But he can't defend!™

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Missed yesterday's game but seems LaVine went off. Nice stat line.

Moral victory.

Moral victory.

We get a lot of those...

 

[HawkintheTuarts]

We get a lot of those...

It's like the real thing...only not.

We're in quite a restless situation at the moment.

Kaplan and the new owners need to come in.
They need to start looking to decide on the GM situation
Start looking for a new coach.

None of those things can wait until the off-season. If the coaching decision is going to be delayed then that stuffs things up for Free Agency and the Draft.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Im actually starting to see why We're presisting with Lavine, He's getting a lot better of late in decision making. However he's still playhing too much PG

 

[power09]

Towns today was ridiculous, watching his last two games felt like wins to me.
So happy we got number 1 pick.

Payne playing D League. Went 11-27 with 10 rebounds and 4 assists but also had 9 turnovers and was -13. Ugh.

Sums up Payne on court:

If there was a role reversal with that Por-zingy guy the general NBA fans would be going even more batshit crazy. But New York...

 

[Snake Charmer]

Another half a season, already looking at the draft Ingram look the goods. But how would we fit him in with Wiggins? Can wig play the 2?

The house of Payne.

How do you have 9 turnovers as a PF?

Looks like he's brought his form in the NBA, Minus 10 in 6 minutes

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Was a really nice win yesterday, Prince was very good. The rotation was much more balanced; gee we look better out there with Rudez on the floor. He really needs to be getting more minutes. Wiggins was unstoppable early and Towns did well to work himself into the game after starting poorly - he smashed Jordan in the third quarter.

LaVine and Dieng have both hit some really good form of late. Zach in particular. In his past six games he's shot 59.5% (50-84) from the floor and 42.8% from three point range (12-28). In the same period he's averaging 20 points, 3.67 assists and 2.33 rebounds; still turning the ball over a little bit more than we'd like though. Hopefully he can keep it up.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

This guy's a legend.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Rumoured to be interested in McLemore and the Rubio rumours just won't quit. Supposedly could be moved before the deadline. I give up if we trade Ricky, just makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Ozil]

McLemore for KMart also rumoured.

Trading Ricky would be madness, I don't see a way we're satisfied with it.

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

McLemore for KMart also rumoured.

Kings would need to add more to match the salary. Casspi the easiest one to add but that trade's well in our favour. We'd need to add a pick and I'm not sure I'd be overly keen on that...is McLemore really much better than what we've got? I've only seen a little bit of him but it doesn't seem so to me.

Shabazz for McLemore would go through but again don't like it.

 

[Upgrayedd]

willing to trade rubio says one thing. The league has told us were winning the number 1 pick and we'll be playing ben simmonds as point forward. Ala lebron. our best pg is 40 years old after rubio. As for rebuilding. Rubio is only 20 ******* 5

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

Dieng's game was really ugly today, haven't seen him play that badly in a while. Wasn't alone though.

 

[Upgrayedd]

So Pekovic is now out indefinitely
