And virtually 0 offense outside the big 2

Doesn't sound like ppl are worried, it's just becoming a trend. We're not a good enough ball club yet, to overcome games where we turn the ball over 20+ and play lazy defense. Gotta clean this up.

This fan base is tired of seeing **** basketball. Plain and simple.

This is hard to watch.

Honestly my biggest question is where ADs ability to finish oops has gone. He's missed something like six in the last two games.

Wolves making a run while both Davis and Cousins are on the court

You should be questioning his defense instead.

Yep, the bad performance v Magic was definitely 'just one game'

Hitting a 3pt shot on a kick would be helpful. How do you play inside/out when your center is your only dependable catch and shoot 3pt guy?

This x1000.

Timber wolves haven’t missed in the 2nd quarter

Oh no, Dante in. Cross your fingers.

Smh.

Moore almost literally just passed the ball to Butler.

Where is our rebounding? They're outrebounding us by almost ten and that's just not right.

I mean seriously.

And KAT has been on the bench for nearly the whole game.

This team makes things so much harder than what they need to be . Just really poor decision making on the court

Jrue gets called for a carry that 70% of the league gets away with every possession. Nice.

Just remembered we have the 3rd quarter to look forward to

Good god this team is bad from top to bottom . We should be killing these teams .

Good ppl are booing.

The idea of the bigs handling the ball needs to be trashed .

LOL @ this team making the playoffs

When Cousins is on, he's unstoppable. When he can't be bothered, he REALLY can't be bothered. Moves like he has concrete shoes.

There is a real lack of intensity out there. Especially after disposing of KAT, it's not talent. Mentality.

How do these fans bring themselves to smile, impressive

Dumb foul moore

Me no understand. What's our offensive identity?

Breakdown after breakdown after breakdown

The team has the personality of its coach .

If you came into this thread without having watched the game you'd think we were down 30 with 26 turnovers. We're down 11 and they have just as many turnovers as we do.

Yes it sucks, but this game is still easily winnable. Cheer up.

Got some lower bowl seats in the arena for the first time in a long time. Boogie was visibly pissed when he threw that pass to Jrue under the basket and he wasn’t looking. He was also visibly pissed going into the locker room. There’s no reason we should be losing right now.

Well, the good news is that this game is absolutely winnable for the Pels.

The bad news is the reason it's absolutely winnable is because the only reason they are down is because of lack of intensity and desire, and Alvin Gentry is the man you are counting on to get them fired up.

2 1sts and Asik to Phx for Warren and Chandler

Well, the viisbly possed going into the lockerroom was because he knew it was his fault for falling asleep on that last score by the Wolves.

But yes, in general he's not happy at the lack of intensity. Wish their were a few more Pels like that.

Here's a thought coach: start Tony Allen in Cunningham's place to start the 2nd half. Get some actual effort, and make things tougher for Wiggins/Butler. Not as if Cunnigham is providing any spacing anyway.

This is the same old thing we have seen over and over. It's pathetic and it makes the team unwatchable.

I might be out until December when we get healthier.

It certainly would help if the other guys were a bit more passionate.

What about all those hot takes that said it was 'just one game?'

Defense was average v Cavs, atrocious v Magic and terrible tonight so far

It's a trend

I like that thought. Somehow, Allen is shooting about as well from three also.

I don't blame people for having hope. This game just might break mine until we are healthy.

Funny reading all these meltdown comments at halftime. Swear this is the first time many of you have watched an NBA game.

Will be fun to see how we move in this third quarter. Let's go!

I've watched every Pels game for the past 5 years and the NBA my entire life.

This is sickening to watch. Period.

Well that's a good start.

Get Cunningham off this team he is garbage

I say that, and then Cunningham immediately fumbles another one. He's great like that.

That block by Boogie was angry, I like it.

Well someone lit a fire under some butts at halftime. Good. This team needed to be embarrassed.
