Full story: TwinCities.com

It's becoming very clear why the Timberwolves give up more points per game than any team in the NBA.

Top Gunn Superior, WI	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 Jan 25, 2011 Judged: 1 1 1 100% correct. This team either can't or won't play any defense. They have enough talent on this roster right now to be better. I'm not sure a high draft pick and a free agent signing or trade would change things much at all if as individuals and as a TEAM they don't start playing much better defense.

DD Austin Brandon, MS	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #3 Jan 25, 2011 Judged: 1 1 1 Yea, yea, yeah, blah, blah, blah!! Why don't you wait until they win ONE and put it all over the FRONT PAGE!! Otherwise it is trash sports journalism! ;-(
fracas Tucson, AZ	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 Jan 25, 2011 I think it all starts with the point guards being unable to stop dribble penetration. Other people collapse towards the PG and the whole damn thing unravels. Just absolutely woeful defense, and none of the players seem to be all that bothered about it.

Jonboy Duluth, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 Jan 25, 2011 Flynn and Ridnour have to go, before any defense happens.

Mike L Saint Paul, MN	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #10 Jan 26, 2011 We double teamed Chuck Hayes on the perimeter on Monday night. Seriously Ridnour, Chuck freakin Hayes needs to be doubled anywhere on the court? That left a wide open three pointer for Lowry. Obviously this happens all the time but that one ALMOST made me not want to renew my season tickets for next year. I can deal with the losses, but not doing the little things really gets on my nerves.

DD Austin Brandon, MS	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #12 Jan 27, 2011 Here's a thought, why not change their name to the Tender-wolves! ;-) It would be a far more appropriate name for them - that's for sure!!
