Wolves at the start of the OT needed to attack and go for 2’s, they always try to hit threes and it feeds into the other Teams burying them.

Sick of seeing it.

there are literally 50 qualified players shooting 40+%from 3 /higher than Beasley in the league, which is his only real skill. He’s immensely replaceable with a guy that adds value.

If Beasley accepts being a 6th man, keep him. If he doesn’t, trade him.

but he has some of the best trade value on the team. we might even get someone back with talent.

This.

Like I said before, it's one thing to suck but this team doesn't even have anyone I can root for other than maybe Edwards but I have to see more of him.

Towns and his Hoe are as bitch made as it gets.

That is a terribly misleading statement. There are 4 in the league that take as many and make as many at 40%. Beasley is one of them.

I think it was.


But I think players don't so much bitch about it saying there was no contact. I think they bitch about the inconsistency of those kinds of calls.


It's a foul, but it's sometimes called and sometimes not. And I understand players' frustration with that.

Towns has toned down his bitching. It’s still a problem, but they all do it because they’re used to being told they’re the best. Refs shouldn’t say anything like that, but they’re paid for their opinions.

If Beasley or atleast Nowell played we win that, we needed that scoring oomph from bench badly.

Good loss, still on track to replace Rubio/JMac at PG with

our bench scored 51 points last night. okogie had has best game of the year with 16. we lost by 9. even if malik and nowell were playing and made a bunch of threes (to replace made twos that other players shot) - they'd have had to combine for 9 threes to make up those 9 points just to tie to game. show me a game when nowell and malik have combined for 9 threes. it's all beside the point. read ANY headline for the game. Tatum's 53 sinks Wolves. offense was not the problem last night, like it isn't many nights. we couldn't slow down jayson tatum. he scored 48 in regulation - 23 more than his average. defense is the problem. who did we have guarding him last night? doesn't matter - whoever (okogie, juancho, mcdaniels) they all got abused. okogie is too small, juancho simply isn't a good defender and mcdaniels still too young and slight for that kind of assignment. number one need on this team is a quality night in night out defender at PF. if we can land someone like that in an offseason trade for beasley, we do it.
