Charlotte @ Minnesota

Thoughts on the game. 

1. Horrible defense and lack of energy. Reaching in nonstop and complaining over every non-call. 

2. Kemba struggled against Teague. Teague was doing anything he wanted on the offensive end. He got into the lane with ease and created open shots all night. 

3. This is a game where we miss MKG and Nic. 

4. Wiggins is really good. 

5. Monk's passing impressed, but unfortunately for us and him if he doesn't have a great shooting night we won't win a lot of games while Nic and MKG are out. 

6. Frank is the ultimate love/hate player. First few games of the year, it looked like he turned the corner. The past few games, back to what we thought he was. 

7. Once again, if we can't have the defensive intensity we are in trouble.

Not too worried at all.. I predicted we would go 4-3 in October and 5-8 in November and 6-10 in December Before Batum and MCW and MKG got dinged.. I am happy we are where we are at.. Wolves are in the top 4 in the West (GS, SA, MIN, LAC).. The upcoming Knicks game might be a bounce back game for us.. if we can just make it to Christmas hanging around .500 - we will be fine.. Jan, Feb and March are gunna be good months down the stretch..

Frank had a horrible defensive game yesterday. -31 plus minus. Kemba was next worse at -18. That's hard to do.

Agree with your assessment. We need to hold down the fort until we get our pieces back. I am really interested to see how we handle Lamb when Batum returns. Lamb has really made himself into a good player for us.

I didn't like the lineups last night. Marvin was playing great and only 21 minutes compared to Frank. I think coach Cliff does an amazing job but sometimes I wish he would ride the hot hand and get away from his planned minutes

Kemba tries to do too much on offense sometimes and makes a lot of mistakes. He's not good enough to do that against good teams. The team needs to get rid of MKG if he can't ever get on the court. Time to move on and quit wasting a roster spot.
