He say KAT is fantastic this year adjusting his game to help the team win. Really happy to see that.


Best trade the Wolves have ever made

It takes him (and Dane Moore, btw) a loooong time to get a complete thought out. It doesn’t lend itself to TV, and especially sideline reporting, where it needs to be succinct.


They are made for podcasts lol

Yes, but a win like last night is great for the teams confidence and identity. You go down 15 that early, and you just put your head down and chip away. You never give up, and you never stop fighting on both ends of the floor. Not only do you win, but you win with Moore, Minott, Shake and JMAC on the floor instead of KAT, Rudy, Mike, and Ant. We needed a night like this, and I am damn glad we got it.

Yep. Pains me to agree because I've admired his game since Wake Forest. He doesn't need to be that kind of player either.

Yep. They were missing Kyrie so we can't get too pumped up over the win, but it was on the road against a good opponent. We are resilient. We seem to fall behind almost every game. We were down 15 in just about 3 minutes. We weather the storm and make our move. I wish we didn't have to weather so many storms. How about going out there and take care of business in the first quarter.

That may come in time with our starting 5 healthy and playing together. For now, just enjoy the 2nd, 3rd and crunch time performances.

I can't complain at all about the rotation right now. TBJ is getting minutes over Shake, and deservedly so.

Kyle is my only complaint. As good as his defense can be, he is a major roadblock for the offense. When he is out there the paint is crowded and we are a jump shot team, for better or worse.
