ORIGINAL: Phil Riewer Timberwolves showed they can play playoff defense..... McDaniels, Bev, Ant, Vandy, and Russell is a shutdown lineup...masterful job of subbing in by Finch late (rotated Naz, Beasley in on off possessions). George was awesome. LAC can win the next game and a Kahwi return may make a tough matchup for the Suns. It is - provided the other team goes small like the Clippers did. When your two bigs are 6'9, 214 and 6'9, 185 you can easily get overwhelmed with size. Adding size has to be priority #1 in the offseason. There must be some worry there as they signed Monroe.....The way Cleveland played the Wolves with Mobley, Love, Allen, and Mark front line mix is a blue print. I think Monroe was signed as injury insurance more than anything. He could potentially be useful against a guy like Steven Adams. Cleveland would run him off the floor in a heartbeat. Ideally we find a defender that is bigger than Vando and has to at least be respected outside of the paint.
