The Minnesota Timberwolves turned in another massively disappointing performance in a blowout loss. The Phoenix Suns built a large lead by halftime and held on in the second half as Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert got into early foul trouble and the Wolves’ defense could not defend the 3-point line as the Suns scored at will. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down another bout of sloppiness on offense, low-effort defense, and more. Plus, Jaden McDaniels as the lone bright spot for the Wolves.

the wolves made a BIG mistake trading pat bev because they CLEARLY lack leadership. its down right embarrassing watching them play.
God we miss Pat Bev and Vandy. The defensive effort is pathetic. Opposing forwards are running laps around KAT. I thought this could work but it's gonna take a miracle turn around.
What a cluster! This is officially a disaster! This team doesn't want to play for each other or the coaching staff. Ant is now uninterested and will probably look to be a free agent or get traded. It appears like there is a rift between Ant and Kat!š³
Last night I noticed that Beasley put up 18 for Utah against Atlanta. It's a lot more fun watching Utah this year than the Wolves. The Wolves are just plain awful. I wonder what runs through Gobert's head as he watches this unfold. At this point anyway it might be the worst trade in NBA history.
This will always come down to how ANT performs – he has no bounce or enthusiasm, and is super inefficient.
Itās amazing how we campaigned for these players when they have been slandered for the past few years and they reward us by coming out and putting up 0 effort.
I could be wrong but, it looks like Ant wants out. I can't believe the mentality of these spoiled athletes. I say they should try trading Ant and KAT at the trade dealine or sooner to see what you can get. They both are the problem so far as I can see!!
ant and wiggins are very similar in terms of play style. both stand around, both suck at off-ball defense, both take the most inefficient shots. and whenever either of them would have a good game, it wasnāt because of ball movement, it was that their iso shots simply fell in. yes Ant has a higher ceiling and is more athletic with an A+ personality, but it all traces back to the fundamental game of basketball, which i donāt think either of them have
Ant is so predictable, it makes my head hurt. He literally doesnāt understand flow, or rhythm or chemistry. Even when heās scoring, itās just him doint iso ball. Iām tellin you heās not a superstar. Heās just athletic
Time to try again.This is not working at all.
Trade Ant, Rudy and Dlo. Maybe even Kat also. Get a great young PG and SG and some picks. Also tank and get Ā the 1st or 2nd pick.
It would work on NBA 2K if ya did it right. No reason it wouldn't work in real life.
At this point, it's the responsible thing to do.
DBLo needs to be traded asap and Towns needs to be traded next summer. Once DBLo is gone, the first of the two cancers of this team will be gone and this season can look much brighter. Until then, expect more of the same.
What you and I are seeing is the DBLo and Towns effect on a team that strives to become relevant. Those two clowns need to be on a really bad team free of any pressures to win games.
Defending those two clowns is a low IQ errand.
Why doesnāt ant move without the ball at all?!
Outside of Jaylen and Kyle and Gobert to a degree, this team has zero basketball IQ. I donāt see any āsmart playsā this year.
Not a wolves fan but dlo is cooked. His best role might just be a sixth man at this point. Similar to jordan clarkson but clarkson is more consistent with better defense
Ant is a high usage player and needs that usage to be effective and to stay engaged. When engaged heās an all world player. So what do you do?
Trade one of these towers leave rudy and trade kat get as much as you can ( players picks)and get a very IQ point gaurd who can score and play defense and everything will be find.
Please trade Kat, I would just rather build around ant locking in and reaching his potential than stay stangnet with Kat.
