    Giannis is the only missing piece.

    Adding KAT to this team would help, assuming we didn't have to give up much to get him.

    I'm loving the way he somehow makes those shots off the backboard over Gobert.

    I don’t think you can blame Portland for this one. We’re playing 3 G-Leaguers. This is just Minnesota being absolutely pathetic.

    The fact that he was taking the final attempt is wild. The fact that he missed it that bad is crazy.

    Sucks that we won but it was nice seeing Shaedon being aggressive and succeeding when the game was tight. There’s value there.

    He was big-time in their victory over the Clippers.

    It's hard to compare who is better betwee minimum contract level players.

    They need Reid for that. Gobert is so awkward and has such long arms, they can't use him inside effectively and KAT is too soft.

    I know this is an irrational reaction, but this game makes me want to get rid of Simons, Nurk and Grant. I want to see guys out there with constant energy and fight.

    Can’t believe we won. Just want a shot for fifth not a coin flip for sixth

    Nurk IS an energy / ball movement guy. He wants to pass to cutters and throw lobs to the energy players.
    He’s playing with 2 point guards who like to dribble at the 3-point line. And Billups doesn’t use Nurk like he could be used if we wanted to.

    Not irrational. How could it be if I agree?

    Is Sharpe more impactful than Ant already?
