WORST WIN OF THE SEASON
This team is trending down in titanic fashion. What a pathetic game. Can’t believe I would ever be so mad after a win, but this was pathetic. This team is so far from contention it’s not even funny.
Its a W that counts the same as the Denver one. Thats what matters.
THis better be a fucking wake up call
BTW I don't want to ever watch back any part of that game, but I swear we were called for a 24 second violation on a 14 second possesion in the first min of the game.
Man there are wins and there are shitty / concerning wins.
Just wow --- Mikal so bad, OG hit floor 3X in 1st quarter and can't stick a fork in ball or basket now.
Offense is yuck with Jalen shot hunting, refs ref Kat with a fine tooth comb and meanwhile everyone else on floor slugging each other around.
Kat perimeter D far superior to Kat interior D ------ team wise it was everything we could do to secure defensive rebounds down the stretch with Hornets barely having anyone over 6'9" on floor.
Hornet announcer is pretty funny --- just has fun all game. Said Brunson with another Meatloaf trip to the line "2 out of 3 ain't bad".
I found myself falling asleep this entire game.
Can we trade Mikal yet (LOL) - that thought has started creeping in.
It is either foul and make sure they can't make or don't foul. Lazy stupid IQ defense.

Is that all that matters? This team was meant to be a contender. We went all in on this roster. Unless we are having all time shooting that game we are struggling to beat teams no matter how bad they are. We all know it won't be a wakeup call. There is no wakeup call to be had. This is what our new team is now. This is not last years team anymore. We are not good enough.

And even worse like the Knight from Monty Python OG has no hands either.

Rinse and repeat. Every game, we hope it’s a wake up call. Next game, they play the same pathetic defense. Today it was pathetic on both ends, which is always infuriating when a talented team plays a undermanned one and they play to their level. Today it was worse, like the Knicks couldn’t help themselves from handing the Hornets the win. So many turnovers, so many bricks, so little movement on offense and the defense lacking as always. They don’t even looked like a coached team.
Shots not always fall, but man, defense and taking care of the ball is about effort and focus. This team has none of that.

Yes - it's just yucky, soft and sloppy most of the time.
The offensive sets at beginning of game were just horrific and I can't say enough bad things about the way Mikal is playing. He looks like a 5-year old afraid of bully's or bringing home a bad report card to parents. Team is catering to this cat to get him going and he is a complete TRAINWRECK.
Bridges and OG 6/21, 1/8 on 3. Aye Carumba.
McBride saved the game.

Another turnover as I’m writing this. My god!
OG balance issues are insane -- one thing we can say for sure --- no olympic balance beam in OG future.

Are you a joke? You know he didn't play the last 30 games or the playoffs?
Seriously Franco --- anyone with eyes could see Knicks teammates weren't in love with Randle and front office tried all summer to get rid of him. T-Pup fans already hating on him and Aunt Man saying their team is growing farther and farther apart. Who you think might be driving that situation who is new in Minny?

We’ve shown a pretty high ceiling tbf. Lots of room for this team to improve and it might take a couple transaction cycles to land the perfect support pieces. Don’t think anyone views Payne and Sims as part of the final puzzle and Josh/Mikal might end up as a 6th man when this team is fully built.

They have to look themselves in a mirror. Yes the W counts the same. The highs are as close in the rear view mirror as the lows right now. The sad thing is they look fatigued or spent like 20 games into the season. But there are guys who are just playing awful basketball and others that are playing stupid basketball. This was inexcusable. If Charlotte wasnt a G League team, then they lose. They lose to 29 other teams. They probably lose to Boston by 80 with this effort.
Anyone mentioning Randle should know he is public enemy #1 in Minnesota right now.

OG like Cinderella and clock past 12.

Denver obviously was sleep walking in our blowout game vs them. They had gone on road and beat Lakers 2 nights before and had a good time in LA before returning to lay down vs us. Any kind of forceful play against us (Celtics, Cavs, Mavs, today and we crumble).
Sure we will turn it around some but it's a bad look and a bad product to watch as a fan --- the defensive lapses and guys coming off the corner 3 over and over again is just crazy.
OG at least doing some things defensively despite looking like he's 90 yrs old trying to navigate the court on rollerskates.
What is Bridges excuse for being the most idiotic player in basketball?
Seriously. What is going on here?

Last years team wasn't good enough to contend, either. Also, this currentvteam has a 3-4 years window to contend, not 3-4 days or weeks.
