The frustrating thing about so many Wolves turnovers is that they aren't even occurring when they are trying to set up a shot, they are just mental mistakes during basic action.

The current lineup can't get a defensive rebound. That's 3 trips in a row with Clippers getting multiple shots.

I'd like to see Knight playing more next to Reid. That second unit desperately needs size and rebounding.

Can we not have nice things? Ant must be in a great deal of pain to not be able to return.

Or he’s just been hurt and this is an opportunity to get some time off.

Why is Gobert not guarding Brown? That's 3 trips in a row where Rudy was guarding on the perimeter.

Ant is out with left hip pain. Smart move. Let him rest. We're up by 23 just into the 4th so let him sit. Those hip contusions are a bitch. I was surprised he played the other night.

It's been glaringly obvious tonight that this team needs one more guy who can stay in front of someone in iso. McDaniels does a great job, but the Clippers have been blowing by Rivers/Prince/DLO/Nowell way too easily.

Kind of disappointing not to see Corey Brewer dunk it over Derick Fisher.




I was a big Corey fan. Great guy but he just couldn't shoot a lick!! He was fast, great defender, and gave you 100% effort every time but couldn't score. Go Wolves!

He said that at the end of every media interview.

If Ant still has some pain, this is probably the best time for him to take a week off to rest and comeback..Wolves have just 2 matches in next 6 days and they are against Rockets, Pistons...not that they are guaranteed to win but relatively easier fixtures

Well, we finally saw the Rudy that we all thought we'd get. 25 pts, 21 rebs, 3 blks.

That's more like it.

To the coach's credit in that he's made the changes needed. We look like a different team style wise.

Ball movement has been much better. Think that’s a big part of the improvement.

So it's unlikely we'll see Ant against Houston but I feel way more confident with Prince back and Rudy finally starting to play the way he's capable of.
