Way too many turnovers. We should be blowing this team out by way more than this at this point.

Towns not looking good since he came back. I also really don't like all of our turnovers, we are getting sloppier and sloppier it seems. Concerning.

I'm sorry but Kat has more bbiq in his little finger than you have in total. Please stop with saying stupid things. Please. After a while I can only take so much.

Have you seen him play tonight? Lmao. Embarrassing


Yea. I've seen the entire game. He's got 7 and 4 and is a plus 15. Not bad. Compare that to anyone else not Gobert or Ant.

I actually agree that Karl-Anthony Towns has played poorly. After the first two errant drives, you would think he would stop doing it instead of driving another five times.

Because? He is shooting 3s instead of driving. Like i said. Automatic offensive foul everytime he drives.

Kyle Anderson is killing Minnesota offensively, tonight.

Might be one of the worst first halves we've played all year.

Yep it is. And it shouldn't be. Kyle Anderson has been brutal.

I'm not so sure its Towns fault. The refs are brutal on him. They hate the guy. What he does tons of other guy do with no call. It's trash man.

15 turnovers at halftime is insane. This team is not in the contender tier until they can sort out offensive issues and clean up turnovers

Dude. He is showing that elbow all the time. He drives and shoves people. If hes not going to change that, hope he just fouls out. Make a simple play!

As long as KAT and ANT TO the ball that much, we will not be a contender. WE are lucky tonight Dallas is depleted or we will be down by 15 at half. Horrible play.

Team is mentally not playing like a top squad right now. Going to get our lunch eaten if we play a top team like this. The turnovers are ridiculous. They need to figure the offense when Anderson is out there because teams are just stacking the paint now, they don't even guard him outside the paint and it shuts everything down. Towns driving into 4 players is a disaster, there are no shooters out there to create any space.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Exactly! Part of these turnovers are because of slomo cant break anyone down and everybody does not know what to do

Horrible. Inexcusable against a team where Naz Reid, our 6th best player, would be their best player tonight.
Ant built an 18 point lead and we've been kicking our own ass ever since with turnovers and bad offense.

Unforced turnovers, fouls galore. Just awful.

KAT has been terrible.

Ant is on fire when he's not turning it over.
NAW has been good and Rudy OK.
Everyone else sucks.

Kyle Anderson is absolutely unplayable and should be benched until he can take and make a 3.
I've seen enough.
There have been at least a half dozen possessions that ended in disaster because Kyle can't/won't shoot.
