    It does appear to be a bad matchup for us.

    Lebron is a bad matchup for every team in the league.

    I guarantee a win against the Wolves will still feel better than a loss. You can be indifferent towards the win but not the loss.

    Oh definitely accurate, but a win against LA and a loss to the wolves wouldve been 100x more satisfying than the opposite.

    This. Both of them. I feel the exact same way.

    And they beat us pretty easily. What does that say about us?

    This is why I feel "Meh". A loss like that shows you what your team really is. And we're "Meh". Maybe 50 wins and another first-round exit.

    Utterly depressing.

    Definitely.

    None of the players listed in the poll are good enough, so I voted, "Just increase the minutes for our current rotation." Olshey keeps our depth young and cheap, to offset the vastly overpaid McCollum.

    Turner is usually the first sub off the bench. Layman goes to the bench.

    Then curry usually comes in with Nik to replace Dame and CJ soon after. I think this is where we’re either going to see what we saw last year where only CJ comes off and Dame plays the entire quarter and they stagger minutes...or one of Simons/Trent/Baldwin essentially fills in for Curry and takes the place of Dame. Since it’s a road game and it’s early in the season, I think we’ll see one of the younger guys get a shot instead, at least in the first half.

    My guess is Stotts does Trent a solid and gives him first crack. Personally I’d go with Simons but I don’t really care. Game isn’t going to be won or lost with any of them.

    If they go with one of the rookies I would go Trent instead of Simon's due just the defense side of the ball. They both capability of scoring but Trent might be stronger on the other side.

    Nurk really needs to learn not to bring the ball down after an offensive rebound.

    Minnesota 3 offense rebounds for 7 points that's the difference so far.
