    Karl Anthony Towns Vs Christian Wood.

    Both 25, look at the numbers bro. Cwood been with like 6 teams and stat padded on 2 crappy teams, one year where he was the only one to give the ball to for 40 games lol, but people on here thinking he the next best thing, and would not want a thing to do with Towns in trade lol.

    Man you will see the Garm dead by the end of the year lol. Good luck..

    Realists are just as much fans as dreamers.

    Been a fan longer than you have been alive.

    Piss off.

    This team will be horrible, and I have been through that before........pre Ralph and Rodney draft - it is not pretty - and we should be realistic about expectations - I have zero expectations, going to watch to see whom is developing, and whom might take time, and whom might never make it.......

    Have to change how you watch in years like this......

    This team is worse.....because of it being so young primarily in experience both on the floor and on the bench.

    BTW - The Ralph and Rodney 1 and 3 picks turned us into a 29 win team which was still last in the league and netted us Hakeem.

    It does seem that high picks back then were much more NBA ready, than a gaggle of 19 year olds.....I suspect we won't be a playoff team for 3-5 years.

    I hope Dr Lucas is working on fixing the shots of our power dancers...cant afford to miss FTs and 3s if we not gonna be missing games.

    and its ok to miss midrange since its the hardest shot in the basketball (harder than the vaccine) and our guys dont practice those anyways...

    btw if we dont trade for Benn Simpson till wednesday i dont see how we can win this game

    I agree eventually green will have 40 total career points. Heck he will go on to score more than 40 in his career eventually

    Just saw a power rankings that had us dead last. This team has talent but every team does ours is just so young. Young talent = turnovers and poor defense usually.

    Still this is the process and they are doing it right. Sit Wall and give all the young guys minutes. Likely trade House and Gordon by the deadline. Bottom out and get another top pick. Trade Wood and some of the blossoming young guys for a disgruntled star (KAT might be a good target) and then sign a max FA to join KPJ, Green, 2022 lotto pick and former disgruntled star.

    This season will be rough with likely around 15-20 wins. But the draft and off-season will be awesome.

    The DD prediction of 3-5 years is in!

    That means, without question, we'll be a playoff team within three years, or in 6 years.

    Silas needs to be coaching with more passion and have some sort of direction with his offense philosophy.

    KPJ needs to get back on defense on the fastbreak.
    Sengun needs to start and create offense.
    Green needs to drive more.
    House doesn't deserve minutes.
    More ball movement and cutters

    All of these are exactly correct. KPJ played excellent defense last game accept for getting back on fast breaks. I’m guessing that gets corrected right away. Green started driving to the basket in the 2nd half and lived at the ft line. House needs to be moved for a cup of coffee. Not only is he shooting poorly he does not seem interested.
