Yep. It should be illegal on this team. Total futility with that pass. Didn't we learn that last year?

to the coaches credit they are using Rudy totally different this year playing only to his strengths.

KAT, Ant, and Naz - the rest are meh. Sans Hali certainly helped and makes the win a bit hollow. Wolves continue to play teams missing stars. It’s not who you play, it’s when you play them. Hope it doesn’t bite them in the playoffs.

Things were bad at? Closing quarters. Sometimes slow to start quarters too.

But when we get in our rhythm? Yummy

For years we've been the worst 3rd qtr team in the league. This year we're world beaters. Go figure. I'm not complaining mind you.

We are tough to beat. I must be dreaming.

I really hated the Kat trade talk earlier. You win with talent and he has tons of it.

It looks like Mike Conley and his demeanor are rubbing off on all his teammates. Especially Kat. The guys really listen to what he has to say.

Mike Conley is the greatest trade ever for this team. The perfect fit.

19-5. No back to back losses. 11-1 at home. Other teams don’t even bother bringing their best players against us. Take your pick, it’s all sweet music.

I see Oscar Schweibe out there for Indiana. I really wanted to take a shot at him. Monster rebounder should translate. Plus, I like those Kentucky guys.

Went from thinking it was sweet to come back against us to thinking its sweet to take a day off so they don't have to get abused by us.

Man Jaden has been injury prone this year

All I am thinking about right now…how will Jimmy find a way to duck us next game?

He'll be out with "general soreness".

With Towns going 8-8 FT’s tonight, he pushed his FT% back over 90%

Both KAT and Naz are 50-40-90, with over a quarter of the season played!

Tonight was definitely a schedule loss for Indiana, but I will take it any way they come!

It would be a nice nod to him if they put Jaden on the report with general soreness.

Hali was laughing his head off when Rudy airballed the free throw. I wonder if he is still laughing?

Last game Jaden bruised his tailbone. Tonight he shot a buzzer beater (shot clock,) and fell afterwards. It wasn’t a huge fall or anything, but he was a little slow to get up, and keeping a hand on his lower back. He tried to tough it out but ended up getting pulled. He came out to start the 3rd but was clearly not quite right. Gets pulled again, this time it is announced he is out for the game. I forget the anatomy of the injury, but basically low back bruise.
