If POR doesn't come back this game. Billups is going to get fired.

Man Ant starting the halves looking for his teammates. 3 more in the first 6:30 of the 3rd.

[KGdaBom]

J Mc with an awesome dunk.

[MN7725]

nice to see NAW correct his mistake of trying to feed a bounce pass to Gobert by keeping it high on that last foul
even if Gobert could have caught the bounce pass, not going to be in position to do anything with it

[winforlose]

Just saw the end of the first half. Rudy 16, Karl 16, Naz 9. Skyline getting it done.

It's too bad it will never work.

I seem to recall a certain group of people (you and me) cheering the big ball movement

[MN7725]

pre-draft hype had Scoot as a nuclear athlete in the vain of D Rose, Westbrook, Ja, etc

not seeing that at all

He’s strong, but I never saw the explosion. I always thought he was, at best, a little above average.

But dude can not get any separation on anyone.

yeah, doesn't seem like his handle is the problem
sometimes guys are limited by a weak dribble until they improve it

[MN7725]

Portland probably worst passing team i've seen all year
every time they swing the ball from side to side, its down at the ankles, constant fumbling

[winforlose]

Chris Finch needs to listen to Mike and Jim. In the fourth he needs to Free Minott because It’s Miller Time!!!!!

[Nick K]

They have so little talent so I hope he keeps his job. Chauncey is a good guy.

Have the three of them ever been officially nicknamed? I do like the Minneapolis Skyline. Kind of matches the awesome Skyline of our great city.

[KGdaBom]

I'm putting this one in the win column, but I actually did that before tip off . 27-11. AROOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Go WOLVES!!!

[MN7725]

One of my favorite non-Wolves teams ever was the 2000 Magic with Doc Rivers, they had young Ben Wallace, but otherwise was journeyman roster that somehow won 41 games, and they did it playing 10-11 deep and EVERYONE was going all out when they were on the court, never have seen a team since that played with that kind of consistent hustle

I don't get why teams with a bunch of young guys like Portland don't try to mimic that, at least be exciting, build some good habits

[KGdaBom]

Regulars need to sit right now.

I have heard unicorn lineup, twin towers, twin cities skyline, Minneapolis skyline, ect… no official nickname though.

Finch listened to me for once. Now let's don't blow the 36 point lead and hold them under 80.

Josh Minott just got absolutely cooked by Scoot Henderson, on that drive. Dude had cement in his shoes, there.

[Domejandro]

Josh Minott fumbled a wide open pass, and then gambled on defense, leading to free-throws.

It is a good reminder of why Minnesota plays Kyle Anderson and Troy Brown Jr. is next on the lineup.

Next possession, Leonard Miller gets cooked in pick-and-roll action and fouls. This is why, folks.

Not hating, just worth remembering when we are frustrated about young players riding the bench.

[MN7725]

Minott have small hands or something?
couldn't handle passes on two straight possessions

[KGdaBom]

That was a flagrant on the guy hacking Minott IMO. Or was it Miller.

[Calinks]

Can we defend without fouling? Good lawd.
