Griffin might legit be our 3rd big in the rotation. Despite his flaws, he's the one guy we have who can hustle and grab these boards. Kornet definitely can't. Plus BG can hit 3s too
ironically, that was supposed to be Kornet's advantage to keep his roster spot over Wagner last year

Man, it doesn't help that the refs have just swallowed their whistles tonight. We've had contact on a lot of drives to the basket that they're not calling.

And this is what ticks me off. There's absolutely no consistency in the whistle from game to game.

Why can’t Tatum go straight to the basket like Brogdon?

And do it faster.  JT doesn’t need to wait and survey everything, it just makes it harder for him.  Attack before the def adjusts.

Exactly. Tatum is much bigger and stronger than Brogdon, but he always wiggles his way around.

With the offensive power we have on this team 23 point quarters just shouldn’t be ok.

Eh, Minny is a good defensive team, and we've just missed some good looks.

But I'm actually really liking how they're playing. Much more balanced offensive attack, and the defense is as engaged as we've seen in months.

Good to hear we are playing well on def.  I am just watching the game cast.  I just don’t know why we aren’t clicking more on offense at this point in the season?

We’re shooting below 40% and leading by 6. I call that a win

Blake for MVP! He's winning even more minutes moving forward.

Good ball movement=Good Offense. Amazing.  :)

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

I love the consistent effort and hustle from him.  He should play more.
