Not impressed in the least with this fella...when I see him play I see a guy who is extremely talented but just doesn't the killer instinct to be the best. Collects a massive paycheck and that apparently satisfies him.

I'll give him some time with Finch. Those passes he tries to thread are ridiculous and have a low success rate. He needs to stop that.

I like Lo the player on O. Hate his D, and don't really care about him off the court because of Swag P. Hate Swaggy, but the simple act was deplorable.

That said, hope he can stay healthy and keep KAT on the floor, we may....May have a PO team.
Keep the pick this year, and we win that trade IMHO. Lose the pick, and we lose. Still happy not to see Wiggins every game.

his mettle is weak too often. he's been saying for quite awhile now - just wait till we're healthy, KAT and Dlo are gonna really be something to watch. well, it's weak. last night he has a GREAT chance to make a statement about being a strong player WITH KAT playing one of the top teams in the league. and it's just weak weak weak. 11 pts in 22 mins on 5 of 13 (1 of 5 from three) - 4 assists and SIX TOs - just one rebound. plus his usual disinterested can't be bothered D. bleah bleh blah. why does anyone get excited about him when he shits one out like this in a game that could provide some direction to the team? weak.

I think I'm with you on this, but just to stupid to realize this factor.

I have a feeling this is going to be the story in a few years when people reflect on what could have been "If Healthy." Once KAT and No D-Lo are gone.
Fells like Mombury and KG all over again.

Edwards seems like the last Jedi. If he fails, my interest in the Wolves are gone. My last hope Obi Wan.

“At the end of the day in this league you need All-Stars,” Rubio said. “You need players who really can take over a game, and it’s not just scoring. It’s the way, for example, KAT attracts defense and gets the other guys involved with an easy bucket or whatever it is. You need that. With one, it’s not enough. When you have two, it’s really helpful for everybody else on the floor.”

Ricky Rubio on D'Angelo and Kat: "When those two are healthy, this team can be really dangerous."



Rubio said it best, you guys need to learn the game.

Not worried about a loss to the clippers who are a top 4 team in the NBA and legit title contender.

It was not a competitive game, they wiped us in the 2nd quarter and embarrassed us in the 3rd, with our big 2 on the floor

We are stuck with KAT and Dblow as long as Rosas is here, which will not be long.

KAT is no KG, but we ownership/management have failed him, then when we do something it’s his effing crew mate with a flawed game. Sigh

can't figure out fade's take on this - and incorporating rubio's quote. that's exactly the point - we HAD our top two against the clippers and it was ridiculously non-competitive. a cakewalk for LA. against our best. the only thing "scary" about KAT/Dlo is what it revealed about the future for this team. if that's our big two, then that big two has to play a hell of a lot better than that.

This is why you guys are still rookies and still learning the game.

Wolves have Talent but they are the youngest team in the league. Towns DLo both 24. Ant and Jaden is only 19. Everyone else on our team is just bench fodder.

Kids don’t win games in this league. It’s a grown man league.

Clippers are a championship contending team. They are the number 1 3pt shooting team and free throw team in the league. Their entire team is made of veterans including a top 5 player in Kawhi and a top 15 player in Pg13. They also have a championship coach.

Last nights lost was big brother strength vs little brother.

Losing to a title contender in a lost season is not going to make me lose my shit like many of you noobs. They beat Miami and Jimmy, the reigning Eastern Conference Champ the night before and that’s good enough for me to see continued progress.

As for the Rubio quote, he’s stating the obvious many of you still don’t understand, you need at least two all stars to have a chance every night. Not guarantee a win but just to have a chance every night. DLo and KAT together are 5-5 this season but who else on the roster is any good consistently? Nobody.

we are so dumb. yeah, right. it wasn't just a big brother/little brother thing last night. and just back off the "they are so young" crap. KAT and Dangelo have played a combined 740 NBA games. 740!!!! you think MAYBE they'd start to show a little more of that experience at some point? there was NOTHING competitive about last night. we were down by 38 points late in the third quarter with OUR TWO BEST GUYS PLAYING. never in the game. blown out. if they actually had pride, they'd be incredibly embarrassed - but my guess is that Karl is still fine tuning his post game comments - and Dlo is still practicing his Ice In My Veins move/facial expressions in the mirror. fade, most of us know the game plenty, and you seem to often be the outlier living on Mars.

KAT and DLo led the team with the worst +/- last night. That's even with DLo coming off the bench.

KAT always struggles against big centers. Zubac is huge. He struggled. Again would be nice to have a big shot blocking guy next to KAT.

There’s not one playoff team that would start DLo.

He’s an overpaid, all flash, wanna be star, but is a career loser.

Let’s see the last 5 games

Beat Chicago with two All Stars in Vuc & Lolvine

Lost to Nets & Bucks with No KAT Back to Back

Beat Full Strength Miami Heat with Jimmy, Bam, & Full Squad

Lost to Number 1 3pt & Free Throw team in Clippers at LA

Team is 2-1 with KAT & DLo the last 3 together.

What’s the problem again? That’s right, learn the game rookies.

ESPN hates on the Wolves for this trade (not a big dlo fan BTW) and I dknt fucking care. Wiggins was a bum.
It's been 32 years since one of MN's four major sports teams has been to the Championship/Superbowl.
Every single year is failure until we win one. 4 teams, 32 years. That's roughly 128 consecutive failed seasons.

OMG are you ever satisfied with crap. those losses to the nets (durant on mins restriction, no harden, no irving) and bucks (no freak) were both 25 to 30 pt blowouts. the loss to the clippers we were down by 38 at one point. and let's conveniently omit that soul crushing pacers loss with both KAT and Dlo on the floor - and virtually every star on the pacers team out. if you look at this and see no problem, then i think we all know where the problem lies. biggest rookie of us all with the most to learn, but obviously also no shortage of hubris. learn the game, my ass.

KAT and DLo are still 5-5 for the season.

.500 would put the wolves in the play-in tournament right now but majority of people rather lose and try to keep the pick.

The season was lost when KAT broke his wrist game 3 of the season. This was already known, so why are people getting so upset with 14 games left? I thought everyone wants to keep losing to try and keep the pick?

I wanted the wolves to push for playoffs but it’s not happening.
