Yea it's not like the Minny fans have some championship standard they're holding them to, you lost Slo-mo/Kat and are still adjusting

Ungrateful to boo at home when that team was a complete joke just a couple seasons ago, they weren't booing then

I know the Knicks couldn’t sign Hartenstein under any circumstances but oof.

Both the Wolves and Knicks have got to wish they can go and redo their summer moves. They’ve both regressed a bunch
The Knicks maybe but not Minnesota. Minnesota had no choice. They were at the Second apron and The owners weren’t trying to pay that tax bill while they’re duking it out in courts

Taylor promised the fans that he was going eat the tax bill to keep that squad together and then out of nowhere they trade away KAT. They have a right to be mad. Taylor repeatedly said he pay the 2nd apron to keep the team together

Glen is with the players on the court? the booing is gonna bother them more than him

if they weren't booing when that team was ass juice for years they lame as hell to be booing now this early in the season, atleast see if they end up making the playoffs/play-in first, way too early for this nonsense from a non winning franchise

there may be no fixing it but the wolves cant continue to trot out the same lineup and expect them to figure it out, it doesnt work. the no.1 thing ppl are pointing out compared to last year is defense and rightfully so but too many guys are shooting significantly worse. theyre 11th right now in 3pt pct which isnt bad, but last year they were 3rd. last year only 2 out of their top 6 volume 3pt shooters were below league avg in pct, this year only 2 out of 6 above. ant great year shooting, ast/to ratio last year 1.65, this year 1.19. jaden mcdaniels on/off -16.8.

either bench mcdaniels for alexander-walker yes youre smaller and worse defensively but you now have another shooter on the floor, or bench randle for reid or do both, but do something.
The killer for Minny is Randle rebounding. He’s already playing uninspiring defense but the amount of times this year I see Minny have a great overall defensive possesion and everybody doing theirs job and all Randle have to do is get that rebound and he gives up the offensive rebound is astounding. KAT was putting up 20-20 games in Minny. He wasn’t the best defender but when his teammates did all the hard work he would go after and secure that rebound.

Man when ownership promise one thing and then do the exact opposition right away, you feel some type of way.


Tilman Fertitta did the same thing to the Houston Rockets. He said he wasn’t worried about the tax and was going to run it back after they took GSW to 7 games. Trevor Ariza even was going to take the less money than what Sacramento offered to stay and he still wouldn’t pay the man. Signed flabby ass Carmelo and James Ennis.

????

They have a right to boo the on-court product lol.

The team isn't even giving half the effort on court that they did last year. Why should anyone cheer lazy and uninspired basketball?

Just because a team hasn't been good for years, doesn't restrict the fans from being passionate.

This is some owner talk you on lol.

Apparently ticket and concession prices got jacked up this season, so a cheap owner just makes things worse. And being a bad team with no expectations is one thing, but going to the WCF and getting rid of a massive part of the team is another. They probably felt like they just needed more experience to get over that hump.

nikka that's your fault if you can't afford to go :dead: it's MINNESOTA, none of these players wanna be there to begin with


There's only a handful of cities that can pull off booing their own squad and Minny ain't one of em
Spare me the lifestyle and city wars bullshyt. People paid all that money and were given a shytty product. They’re voicing their displeasure. These nikkas are very well compensated, they’ll be alright with being booed. You’re a whole fukking bozo to suggest that only fans of teams in certain cities are allowed to be upset with a teams performance. You think anything not in NY or LA is worthless huh?

Some of yall would kill ya momma for some glitz and glamour and those flashing lights 💅

Not only does every team run the same offense. They all have the same three point celebration :snoop:

They all do that three-fingered gun extended arm sh*t... it's mad corny :snoop:

And while I'm at it, all those gang related handshakes NBA players do is SUPER corny... you're definitely not active and I doubt you're affiliated bro :snoop:

I think it might be eFG% due to the amount of 3s, surprised that it’s still “advanced” analytics and rarely reported


Only stats NBA nerds care about now to measure a player are on/off and TS %

You saying all this but ignoring what's probably the biggest problem in Mike Conley. His shooting has fallen off a cliff. He's not the same defensively. He's not able to get to the hole consistently enough to set up easy baskets for others. They badly need an upgrade at PG.
