    Ah tell you what Boy ....... if we could get a 4th straight road win against the "consensus" stacked, young and coming Timberwolves today ..... the whole damn league is going to sit up and take notice. This year. Do it guys! :KobePoint:


    With that f****** bench of ours almost every game is winnable. Blowing the league stats away ... no other bench close to it. Seventy three points tonight !!!

    Our four man guard rotation and Deng scored 81 points, coincidence?

    Also I take no credit for this but Lou + JC = Bench Bros

    Back to our bench which should help tremendously tonight against MN .... check where we are waay up on top of the league and they are at 29. Maybe MN ain't all that young and "stacked" after all. I like our roster top to bottom much more, KAT on their team notwithstanding. Get this one, make a huge statement tonight, Team!

    If there was a game in this early part of the season that I desperately wanted to win, it is this one.

    Some Optimism?
    Ingram's last five games:
    7.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists (0.8 TO), 0.6 steals, and 0.6 blocks. 44.8% FGs, 42.9% threes.

    Sure I'll put this here.

    As Ingram keeps improving and Deng keeps dung-ing, we could hopefully see Ingram starting. His ability to initiate the offense will help the starters get going and allow Russ to play some off ball where we've seen him excel.

    That bench group though has been amazing and it's gonna suck having to break it up but if the starters could perform better, we wouldn't need the bench to bail us out as often.

    Yeah yeah there's the whole, don't fix what's not broken or however the saying goes. The bench isn't broken but Russ/starters are, hopefully Luke can find a balance.
