You have to be a die hard fan to be on this board discussing Dennis Evans.
 




On another note, do we have a new starting lineup?
 

Weber is absolutely correct. We are so young it leads to a lot of little mistakes down the stretch of games (ie blocking out or not pinching down on free throws). Hopefully that means we can flip the switch at some point and start making those plays (even if it’s not til next season).

Our great inbound play has TT taking a 3

I didn’t say it was great. It was an effective inbounds play. They got a wide open 3. Having shitty players is an entirely different issue.

I think its a bit but who has said anything bad about Evans?

They were also right that it was not a foul by TT at the end. The one angle looks like it but the one they showed after the game showed it was ball.

I’m just saying even though it got an open look I’m not sure that’s how the play was drawn up.
And if it was drawn up to make a cut before the inbounder had the ball…I don’t like the play even if it got an open look

Pretty clear why Thompson doesn't play.
Blew this one...
Couldn't get Battle to touch the ball in the last minute, instead it was Thompson and Cooper putting their finishing touches on goose eggs from long range.
Good job.

They were already a combined 0-9 from 3 with a minute left in the game. 6-25 total (~25%)

TT needs a lot more minutes. Not the best offensively, has failures, but gives great effort, intensity, and rebounding.

reminds me of similar hustle players who got too few minutes, such as elliott eliason. Sometimes a guy who just hustles and plays hard makes a big difference. Dude should get more minutes.
 


The BTN guys love TJD shot blocking. I got to say his athleticism is fantastic, but his shot blocking? Seems he never is straight up. He’s always seems to be swiping down. Or is it me?

This is the 4th year playing for 3 of the 5 players on the floor.

I mean, he was WIDE open. Unless they were trying to waste time (apparently not) you couldn’t ask for a much better look. TT is not a terrible shooter. If he made that the game turns out way different…straight on but off the back iron.

True. But that wasn’t the way it was designed. It was a broken play.

Put 20 lbs on the young man and he actually could make earn more minutes at he 5. In the meantime PP has a much higher upside.

I almost didn't watch this game after turning on BTN and hearing about the absent players. I'm glad I did. This was an inspired performance by a skeleton crew.

Me too. This team and staff are starting to build something. Ola pushing that idiot in their huddle was a good sign. They are maturing. I thought it would be 20+ loss. This makes 4 of 6 that could have been. I know everyone can say "could have", but this team is getting stronger and better.

Absolutely agree.

Do you think we have an inbounds play designed to start before our inbounder has the all in his hands? I don’t

True PP has that "it". But man, TT gives gives all he has. Yes, give him 20+ pounds and those blocks at the rim offensively become dunks and Minnesota wins games like this. He is close.
