They won’t lose in the playoffs due to a supposed weakness. They’ll lose if a supposed strength isn’t able to cover for that weakness ??♂️

Try this again and make sense this time. https://t.co/PVXY9eQfLp
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 25, 2017
But what if you can strengthen a weakness without getting rid of one of your strengths?
You say no?
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 26, 2017
But if Zimmer sees Bradford as an upgrade….
I make this point in my article.
In a normal situation, you’d be right. But, this isn’t a normal situation.
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 26, 2017
Not up ten. Having a game like that against a better team won’t put us up 10. That’s what I worry about.

Tonight is a great example of why Andrew Wiggins has appeared to get worse. Every shot he gets seems to be a pick n roll called with 6 seconds left on the shot clock, or a swing out for a 3 with 2 seconds left. Learn to use your players.
— Lucas Cofell (@Cofell_Official) December 26, 2017
No, not everyone has to shoot threes, or should shoot threes. That is exactly what analytics says Charles Barkley. It is so clear you have never even listened to a discussion about analytics. The goal is to decide in which situations to take which shot.
— Lucas Cofell (@Cofell_Official) December 26, 2017
Can someone explain to me what exactly Tom Thibideau brings to our team aside from Jimmy Butler? We don't have an actual offense, we only score because of our talent. None of our players are used well on either end. Bottom 5 in defense from a "defensive coach."
— Lucas Cofell (@Cofell_Official) December 26, 2017
The Eagles thought they were fine without Wentz lol.
— Minnesota Sports Fan (@realmnsportsfan) December 26, 2017
No. At no point. I listen to talk radio all day and I haven't heard that once. Not sure where you got that. Wentz remains NFL MVP this year, not even close
— T-Rev (@tak6tak) December 26, 2017
Whoa. Pushed this guy’s button. Calm down Rev DMC.
So, the Eagles aren’t gonna win it all.
It’s our year anyway.

This is one of the games Thibs needs to adjust to the game and how players are playing and give more minutes to Tyus. Teague has been non existent tonight.
— On The Prowl (@ontheprowl_MN) December 26, 2017
I disagree. He was VERY existent. His negative play was extremely noticeable, and impactful. https://t.co/Vs7VZclm6d
— Travis Lyle Czech (@TravLyleCzech) December 26, 2017
Tonight was the worst game I have ever seen Jeff Teague play. Incredibly lazy passes, and an absolute lack of giving a shit on defense. Tyus should've played 26+ minutes.
