Frankly, I don't expect nothing...

Our roster it's not well constructed, and probably we're going to improve, but I don't think it will be in this game.

Wolves aren't playing too well (great wins vs Denver & Heat, intriguing losses vs Raptors & Hawks weaker teams) but they have more veterans and star power than us.

We need a change in the starting line-up......

THT is having an absolutely miserable game. It's hard to watch.

Kessler is slowly becoming a non-factor. While he does need to step it up considerably, Hardy is not helping with how frequently he's subbing Kessler in and out.

Yep. Good defensive possessions and some good buckets. He's clawing back in it.

That's the 3rd (?) time Collins is blocked taking a 3.

I long for the day when THT and Sexton play for someone else. I just don't like them.

Keyonte and Agbaji should be the staring backcourt......

He's looked terrible all season. I'm sure it's the sophomore slump, and he'll bounce out of it eventually, but he hasn't looked good on either end of the floor so far this season.

I agree he hasn't locked good, but I think it's the fit with Collins..... I don't think it's going to get any better...... You already see Hardy trying to do something by pulling him early, but so far it's not working

So far it feels like we're regressing. It's evident with Kessler but also with Markkanen. He used to abuse teams from any spot on the floor and now we're making him almost strictly a 3pt shooter like Chicago did. Sexton doesn't show progress, Dunn has regressed, and so has Clarkson. Agbaji is the same at best. Just my impression so far.

That's more on Hardy and our guards imho. He needs to be set up but no one is doing it.
