Walker Kessler simply can’t defend three-point shooting bigs like Naz. Wide open every time.

Remember last year when critics of the Rudy trade were saying Kessler was “just as good as Gobert, and cheaper?”

I don’t like that the garbage time players always let opponents get to 100.

Garbage time players play in garbage time for a reason. At least Minott scored 5 quick points.

Well, still kinda true... Kessler is cheaper.

We got lucky with Jazz also have so many guys out. Garza end up scoring 9pt. Finished a lot better than how he started. TJ was taking shots. Hopefully they will fall-in in the next 3 games. Both still have a good chance to be end of roster backup.

Wasn’t luck. This was full tank mode. Though they may have felt better about it because it was the back end of a b2b. Monday might be a different story.

Ant is slowly reaching that upper echelon tier...still not there yet but heading in the right direction.

We were facing G like roster and like 4 rookies. Kessler and Sexton off the bench only non rookies or G league guys I remember seeing.


And in my defence I don't watch wolves games live due to time difference (except for weekends), so not chit chatting about the action while it's happening.

You should look around other teams boards. 2 pages on a slow game is pretty good.

I checked the nba champions forum for match threads, to see if they made one for wolves game yet. But every thread was 1-2 post only of same guy posting. Was unfortunate to see.
