    After this performance, do you think the Wolves would trade Jimmy for Tucker + EG and a couple of fillers like Harden and Capela?

    Trevor Ariza is like a black Larry Bird.

    Should have paid him the max...

    I guess MDA was right... everybody has just has too much rest (with the offseason) and has resulted in our shooting being off...

    We have downgraded our defense.

    That's not a knee jerk because the defensive coach saw it coming and jumped the ship.

    I don't think I've seen Clint Capela look this bad before. He's getting dominated.

    You didn't know? He cashes his fat paycheck and keeps his money in his pants during the games. Too much extra weight, no hops.

    Gary Clark is better than Melo.

    I think we came out like we won the title last season.

    Where is that hunger everybody's been talking about?

    I just imagined when we signed MCW that he would play to the level of the rest of the team, but instead it seems tonight that everyone decided to play down to MCWs level.

    That game looked very 2015-esque. Literally exactly the same.

    Coaching, scheme, effort, all terrible.

    Maybe it’ll change next game, we’ll see. But games like this don’t happen if you’re elite.
