    You don't think they see what we do? It's not as if they're sitting at One Center Court thinking all is well - methinks you don't understand the whole player acquisition thing.

    Good for Bayno, Porter, and Adelman by the way. I'm happy for them. I'll root for Minnesota in the playoffs.

    In 31 minutes the "untouchable" Batum was utterly forgettable. You can build a franchise with inconsistent players that think they need to be paid like stars. I'd look to move him at deadline.

    It was clear last year -- at least to Rich Cho.

    Even more now.

    That's cause Nate pulled him when he did something bad. Wallace played 44 minutes today.....why? For what fucking reason? Matthews had more minutes and did shit. Crawford shot 3-13 but Nate was okay with that.

    They're hot and yet two games over .500 and not in the playoffs. That's some quick bandwagon jumping there Eric!

    Of course you didn't, because you're a Timberwolves fan. Just admit it and get it over with. Stop pretending to like the Blazers, and get on with it. You followed Love while you were in HS, and he's your guy now. There is no shame in switching allegiances, but there is shame in still pretending you're a Blazer fan.

    Losing Bayno was a killer.

    We need to amass first round draft picks like the Wolves and Thunder did? Where's Cho when we need him?

    Am I wrong in thinking that Ewill may already be as good as Wes if he got the same minutes? Wes has really regressed

    Lets trade the guys we can for picks but I don't want to take back contracts. Lets get a lotto pick and have the gods smile on our cursed franchise and gift us either Andre Drummond or Anthony Davis and then us having 28m+ in capspace, we can recover and be contenders again.

    Exactly. Cho advocated a rebuild and was canned. He didn't come to this franchise with any particular affinity for the players and judged them solely on their production. I don't have any confidence in current management.

    I do agree with this. We had people during the game whining because Batum wasn't in the game.

    He sucked tonight. That's why he wasn't in the game.

    GW had a near triple double with 16 pts, 9 assist, 9 rebounds, 1 blk, 1 steal, and a three pointer. Playing him made a lot of sense. Geez.

    He's going to look for around 10 million per year in the summer. I just don't see the consistency from his game that would justify that financial commitment.

    You have a problem with a GameScore that will be near 20?

    There's no reason to play 45 minutes when you have a 7 game road trip. The coach should have some more foresight....and confidence in his other players. Geez. By the way, he had 13 points in those 45 minutes. That's pretty sad.

    Well, Charlotte is shitty right now with Cho as GM, though.

    He's an expert on rebuilding, I guess, but only if you luck into the #2 pick in a year that the #1 pick was a bust.

    3-23 from 3-point line... ugh.
