This is a D-League level team without Booker.

Good grief Ulis comes in and immediately throws the ball away.

This Minnesota team has a lot of talent, but not much of an identity.

Did the announcer just say 18 TURNOVERS already?

The Suns went downhill after Canaan and Bender left the game.

Halftime:

Timberwolves 50 - Suns 42

I really liked Jackson's aggressive play.

Ah the fans’ cry of “bring in the backup QB!”

Sure why not? Have you seen Jackson this year?

Reed has 4 years of experience while Jackson is about as raw as it gets. Now, Reed's ceiling is a LOT lower, but I think he'd be able to contribute more than Jackson at this point. And honestly that's not saying much.

Peters does two things extremely well. Shoot the 3 and rebound. Given the minutes I think he'd be a pretty decent contributor.

The 2nd unit is playing well sans Len. Have they used Monroe and Chandler in a game since they started together? It seems like one is sitting each game with Len being the primary backup when Len is the one who should be sitting.

I do not remember Monroe and Chandler in a game together.

I'm so tired of Chriss taking 3 point shots.

I am so tired of Tyler Ulis trying to play basketball.

Not that bad. It’s just the buddy thing. Canaan is better than Ulis. Mike James is better than Ulis. Yet Ulis continues to start.

Sigh... why anyone is viewing this team through a lens of who can contribute “at this point” is beyond comprehension. Who cares about a guy that might make a 1 or 2 point difference in games we consistently lose by double digits? And that’s even assuming a 2nd round pick would make any impact period.

This entire season is about THE FUTURE. Let The young guy struggle and learn on the court for pete’s sake. Stop looking for the elixir on the season. It doesn’t exist this year.

Like clockwork... I bang on Bender and he actually shows a little something tonight.
