he's sort of taken Morris's expected minutes

Morris has still been playing, the minutes are just split in two

Wolves win against a super hot Houston team. I got so caught up in the A Rod/Lore/Glen drama I didn't realize we were playing. 52-23. AAAARRRROOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ant 11-11 from the line critical in the win.

Thais is my favorite quote of the night.

He did great in the clutch, but he was instrumental to turning a big lead into a clutch game. You need your stars to be supremely confident, but all those missed three’s he kept taking .. oof! But I'll pay that price for his superstar plays.

I think we’ll bring back JMac next year.

I think most teams pay the vet min for a third string PG, and I don’t think he’ll get bigger offers elsewhere.

Maybe we add a couple hundred thousand because it would be a big deal for him.

And he apparently stole Ant’s shot…

Charles Barkley said if the Wolves are number 1 at the end of the season with the KAT injury he would vote Ant for MVP. Can't wait to see how he will walk that back if it happens lol.

Big win with strong play down the stretch. Houston is no pushover. They've played great lately. Good teams find a way to win late in games and we did again.

AAAARRRROOOOO!!!!!

I don't think he will. It's a way to praise Ant and belittle what the rest of the Wolves do.

Gret win, One more time, defense was great. Naz really step up, Slomo beeing back to what he was last year. Combo PG are great. Hope ANT can get some rest and come back 100% at PO. And i' m not sure we should rushed KAT return if not 100%.

Lol ant: predicting his 3 pt shot will be butter in the playoffs. Guy is a trip.. let's see.. we need you now as well. This race for first seed is important.

I actually hope the Wolves avoid the Lakers in round 1 (lets be real, there is NO way Adam Silver is letting them miss the playoffs, too much revenue) and in order for that to happen, the Wolves need to avoid being the #1 seed.

I feel like all of the first round matchup will be tough, but the Lakers are a big team as well and they will definitely have the refs on their side in that series.

I'm actually praying the Clippers fall to 6th and the Wolves get 3rd. At this point in the standings, it's so close and the 6/7/8 matchups are actually really tough teams..

Suns/Lakers/Pelicans are the 3 teams i'd like the Wolves to avoid in round 1.

Kings/Clippers/Mavs seems like a series where we have the right guys to stop their best players and win

It would be sweet to dominate the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs. Everyone, myself included, had them pegged to go far and be the second best team behind Denver. May still do and they have far more belief in them from people than the Wolves. The Wolves crushing them would be a big time statement and make a lot of people look incredibly off base.

Kawhi’s injuries are creeping in, so we still wouldn’t get credit. But I feel like whoever we beat, we won’t get credit. Too bitter?

As long as they are healthy I think we will get credit. In fact we will probably get more credit for having a Towns that coming off of injury, particularly if he plays well. Pretty much every team going into the playoffs at this point is getting a lot of hype. Maybe beating the Kings would be seen as less prestigious but there is still some healthy respect for the Lakers, Warriors, Suns, and Mavs right now.

Is Ant shooting all his jumpshots like doodoo and flat because of injury? Taped up fingers since he jammed it down on Collins vs Jazz?

Or is it just voodoo and Jmac monster jam style just yanked the shooting ability outta Ant for his own benefit lol

he seems short on every jumper
tired legs is usually the reason for that
