    Of course he is. Been saying that for months.

    KAT wins the game because we haven't had a single fucking person to guard him all game. If this isn't a clear glaring obvious that we NEED a Big in the paint to do Defense this off-season, then I don't know what is.

    I'm happy they gave themselves a chance to win, but WTF?! That was stupid easy for the Wolves to get that in to Towns.

    Stotts doesn't believe in doubling or denying. Sticking to your principles as he calls it. Fuck.

    I don't give a shit how much time there is, Damian brought us back into that game but you don't give respect where it's due. You just hate. Must have a pretty pathetic life. Fucking ridiculous this dude is still allowed on these forums

    Yep; they can't even stop a once in a generation center in a game where the refs decided one side was better at defense than the other.

    All those tough contested shots Minny got tonight were the real difference. Idk how many times I saw Wiggins hit a damn near perfectly defended mid range shot.

    You guys are all talking shit like Lillard's shot selection is ok just because he pulled that shot out of his ass, and I can't tell if you're just being sarcastic or not.

    I love Dame, but his shot selection does need some fine tuning. The problem isn't that he takes those shots in these late game situations, the problem is he takes 27 footers with a hand in his face earlier in the game with 20 seconds on the shot clock even when he has been having a shit game and it fucks up the rest of our game as a team. The other team gets long rebounds and runs out to easier baskets, then we have to play against a set defense more, and the rest of our players get out of rhythm. It also lets the defense off the hook by not making them expend any energy to defend you. When he's on fire and knocking down those heat checks he gets a pass, and obviously when we're desperate he gets a pass.

    This team doesn't look ready to compete in the playoffs. Barely beating the Thunder 2nd unit, now losing to the t-wolves at home.

    Feel sorry for Lillard man. Talk about a waste of an opportunity.

    Does he believe in putting a SF on the opposing center?

    We stuck a SF on their C and let him post up 5 feet from the rim. A 3rd grade coach would know better! That's the dumbest shit I've ever seen. I knew that they were gonna score though.

    Stotts is horrible out of timeouts. 2 five second calls and that defensive possession all came out of timeouts. What the fuck does he do during that time?

    Dallas is going to lose one more game out of their final 3. Most likely vs Utah. Right? Right????

    We then take care of Denver Wednesday and we'll have the 5th. But after tonight's shitty D, it sure as hell ain't a given.
