It’s unreal the amount of attention that a Conley-Gobert PnR commands!


This is a nice still but this is pretty typical defense, Hartensteinis just way out of position/overshot on Conley, and slo mo is not in a good spot, he should be on the left baseline outside the dunker spot, he's making it way too easy for his man to defend both conley and Gobert because he's occupying the same real estate Gobert is heading toward.

Interesting to see NY is hiding Brunson on Prince and may be part of how Prince got 35 tonight.

The best part of any win over the Knicks or Lakers is reading their fan reaction to losing to a <insert insult> wolves team.

Hartenstein late caused Hart to overhelp which allowed Prince to go back-door for the layup. But yes, I agree about Kyle.

I can't believe I am saying this - we missed Nowell the last few games. May had a couple more wins if he was there to provide some scoring.

When New York took the lead and had all the momentum late in the fourth, I was just so depressed that I started Googling the 2023 WBNA Mock Draft. FYI, the Lynx have the second pick and are slated to draft Maryland guard Diamond Miller.

I think tonight’s win allows us to keep Ant out until the gs game. Allow him the whole week to rest and hopefully he can go then.

Why MCD was not credited with single block nor single steal? Also I am sick of smaller players fouling on Gobert and referees fall asleep.

Something I've noticed a few times recently...attacking the mismatch!

A few games ago was when Atlanta tried to hide Trae on Jaden. Last night, New York tried to hide Brunson on Prince.

There is no way Ant will be ready tomorrow. Is Towns actually practicing with real teammates in real game situations?

Does Barrett remind anyone else of Shabazz? He was awful last night.
