edit: WAS shot 51%, 54%, 81%. MIN 36%, 23%, 84%

I don't feel like we are playing with terrible effort. Mostly, the defense isn't working well and our offense is booty. Hopefully we can pick up the offense in the second half and the defense starts getting some stops.

That's what moving the ball looks like.


they've run some great action to get open perimeter shots
i keep thinking that i hope someone on the Wolves staff is taking notes

Wolves just don't have any catch/shoot players though outside of Brown, who doesn't play
Reid is probably the next best, but he still usually gathers his feet

Rudy has his double double early in the 3rd. Keep it going.

3rd quarter has been ours last 3 games. The last 2 we collapsed in the 4th. Finish Wolves.

Sixers were just in a dogfight with the Spurs for most of the game.

Ant was on a roll. 4th foul halfway through the third is killer.

Towns should mix it up and use the power dribble to setup for a baby hook instead of running to the middle all out of balance like practicing drunken fist style.

still feels like Wiz are getting similar quality shots as they did first half but shooting "luck" has evened out
Wolves getting 10x better looks than they were
