    Even if it went in, the magic would have gotten 6 seconds for a final shot

    The Timberwolves when healthy are an above average defensive team. Adelman just has no one to work with right now.

    Our role players will start bricking in the second half, Lin will continue deferring and Harden will be forced to ISO. Sound familiar?

    Other than scoring what exactly doesn't look right about harden? 2nd on team in rebounds and assists and the only player with a steal or block.

    He's finding his teammates and not turning it over. I have no complaints so far, hopefully he finds his shot in the 2nd half.

    Parsons Harden and D-Mo barely give any effort on defense.

    Harden's knee is hurt. He should be resting.

    Exactly.

    Robinson for this game at least actually played better defense than D-Mo for what it is worth. He contested every one of those shots Harris put up and was just unlucky that Harris put them all in.

    Now Harkless...Harkless is getting open threes.

    It’s good to have a versatile 7 footer in the 4 spot that can run and shoot 3s. Potential to create some mismatches against certain teams. But DMo needs to focus on rebounding and defense too.

    Luckily our FG% are high..else this game can be pretty ugly with the crappy D we're playing.

    It's nice to be setting records for 3pters almost on a nightly basis but shooting 20 in a half is just bull****. This no midrange game is ugly, unsuccesful and hurting our overall game. Now they won't have to worry about us moving closer, nobody's going to take any midrange shots, period!

    Harden is going to have to step it up if we are gonna win this.

    The thing with T-Rob is that we also lose spacing when he's in the game since he can't shoot the three, so not only does he have to learn how to play with the team, everyone else has to adjust a little too. It just looks a lot uglier when he's out there. Not trying to crucify him since it's only his second game, just saying.

    We need this real bad because I can't see us beating the Mavs playing D like this.

    i agree he has the green light to be a home run hitter.
