Timberwolves head coach Ryan Saunders had a lot to say to his team at halftime of Wednesday’s loss at Chicago, and he had plenty more to say after the game was over to reporters.
There was unvarnished truth in plenty of what he said about Andrew Wiggins and the state of the team in general, but the highlight of his candor was probably the most basic thing he said: “We’re not a very good basketball team right now.”
That has been confirmed by the eye test several times in the last two months, with the first half in Chicago representing at least an aesthetic and effort-based low of lows.
