That's a ridiculous foul call, ref. Borderline and it had no effect on the game with Minny having the ball. Good grief.

We're managing, but you can tell we miss White. That means more PP minutes, who can't buy a bucket right now.

But still, putting up close to 60 the first half on the best defense in the league is... pretty good.

I think PP hurts us on def more than on offense.  We have other shooters, but against a big team like Minn guys just shoot over PP like no one is there.

Pritchard is a scrapper!

Man I wish JB made that jumper.  Just abusing Gobert this half.

[jpotter33]

Ugh, of course Brown misses that lol Reminds me of that Harden airball after doing the same thing against us last year lol

Totally disagree...

It's a good one. I hope the refs can get it together in the second half!

PP has played strong D tonight that's why he has played 11:40 and is +8.  That's second to Al who is +14.  PP also has 4 rebs. and has only  missed one shot.

I like PP's hustle and grit too, but he is just too undersized to switch a lot.

I think overall he has played well, he is all over the court grabbing boards, and moving the ball.

Even with Pritchard's shooting struggles, I really like Mazzulla going with Tatum and 4 bench shooters. It stretches the floor for Tatum and is quite an effective lineup for stretches, and the bench guys were battling on defense.

Bull Dog!

Yeah - no complaints about him or Kornet. Hauser got the lucky backboard three.  At some point PP and Hauser are gonna go off and start hitting them like we know they can.

[jpotter33]

Good way to start the half!

[SCeltic34]

Zinger is a weapon

[jpotter33]

Can't be that far off of Towns, Jrue.
