    Glad to say TJones saved the day tonight with his play. I will eat crow tonight gladly. DMo needs to start rebounding better with his size he should be better.

    The altered starting lineup looking slightly more decent than the normal one, but it still came down to needing James Harden to be a demigod to beat a lottery team. I'll take the W, but this team has the ability to be more on offense with a little more ball movement.

    Was closer than it should have been in the end, but gotta give Minny credit that is a good young team that will be a tough out as they grow as they mature together. Harden was a beast and Smith was mostly killer off the bench along with Brewer, but best of all TJones looked like the old TJones and we need that now heading into this stretch of games tough games !!!

    in fairness, Minny has some good young players and they've had starters injured all year..getting rubio and pekovic bag is huge and with the development of wiggins they will be giving more teams fits going forward. They are much better than their record indicates.

    I'm worried about DMO; he doesn't seem to play well when TJ is playing well. It's like he is worried TJ will take his spot and nuts up. DMO was at his best when he knew TJ wasn't nipping at his heels.

    DMO better find his confidence because Mchale doesn't like him. Mchale is quick to put DMO on the bench if there are other options available. Smith or TJ play well they will be in for the 4th qtr instead of him. TJ already inserted into the starting line up.

    give them a lot of credit. When they have a full line up, they are tough to put away.

    people just look at the record they have but they have had loads of injuries

    Once again, we gave up a solid lead in the 4th.

    A healthy Howard, Jones, DMo, Smith is a really damn good frontcourt.

    But outside of Harden this team is getting nothing at the guard spot..

    Offense created some great looks tonight. We can't shoot but still I like the shots that we were getting.

    Should Dorsey be starting ahead of Jones :confused:

    Jones has been our best defensive big so far this year. DMo our worst in Feb. There is no surprise that McHale hooks him for the end of the games.

    DMo is probably overrated by us, and Jones/Smith underrated.... I would say DMo is our 3rd best PF, but our 2nd best option at C. He's more of a 4/5. The other 2 play more like 4/3s
    Dunno if that makes sense? Dunno if I'm right, but that is the way it looks to me.
