Game Thread GAME# 15: BLAZERS @ TIMBERWOLVES - NOVEMBER 16, 2018 - FRIDAY, 5:00 PM, NBCSNW

[KingSpeed]

Overlooking this Wolves team is a mistake. I think they got better when they traded Butler. The Timberwolves just might be a top 5 in the west.

lol

 

[illmatic99]

Knock on wood.

We have the best point differential in the west.

 

[illmatic99]

Anyone want to see CJ try this in this game?

Don't think he has the hops. Dame maybe.

 

[riverman]

I voted for Baldwin to get Seth's minutes...mainly for defensive and ball handling reasons

Agreed. I'm really rooting for Baldwin to break out this year.

After losing to the Lakers, Im having a hard tome caring what they do tommorow night..

Damn it’s 82 games lol

Your not going to win them all. Besides we had the lakers numbers for years now it was bound to end

 

[SheedSoNasty]

I want to see Simons get some run. He has some nice offensive moves and will be here long term.

I hope to god we don't get them in the first round of the playoffs. Because, marketing. It's going to be shades of 2002 all over again.

Simons is going to be nice.

Im not saying they’re dead to me, just I hate losing to the lakers so much that it makes winning or losing to the wolves feel so meh...

They’ll beat us without the scandal. That team is very good. McGee is a top Center, playoff Rondo kills us, Kuzma and Ingram is legit and of course Lebron.. there’s no shame there

This I understand completely. It's like, we just completed a 5-1 homestand, but that 1 loss was to the Lakers, so it dampened it a bit. Then to start the road trip with another loss to the Lakers--basically undercuts all the good feelings I had from the wins earlier in the month.

Clearly we were spoiled by 4 years of dominance over them.

So basically they got one good player and a bunch of average nba talent...

BANNABLE OFFENSE THIS IS!

Kinda like the Blazers?

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Kinda like the Blazers?

Id take the Blazers roster minus Dame over the Lakers roster minus Lebron.

I can go with that.

McGee leads the league in blocks. He’s not average. Lebron of course is a supernova superstar. Ingram and Kuzma are slightly above average

lol. No. It took ball making shit he doesn't make and Lebron shooting high above his avg for this year in three's to beat us.

They are beatable. But, in the playoffs... it's Lebron... the league will find a way. I mean shit, the league found a way when the 2nd best player was Booby Gibson.

Ok McGee without superstars to play with would be literally nothing, sure he can be a good defensive role player and can give you tip ins but thats all he has. I dont but Kuzma or Ingram as being anything special (NBA wise), at this point. Ingram might be someday...

Kuzma is frustrating as fuck. He's so inconsistent. Nothing special about him.

He is, thats a decent point.

Okay. Just kind of wondering? Nice to know others get banned also...

Totally. And my view is that I heard enough about how good the Lakers are on Wednesday. There's a different game thread for that. Let's stick to beating the Timberwolves, here.
