His jersey already has too many letters on the back. No more hyphenates.

Need to have a conversation about mcdaniels and conley

Conley score 6 3 last 3 games at 35% deliver 17 assists for 4 TO! I take it and if we have only this as a problem, we got a ring this year.

But I agree with you on one point , he is struggling a lot with his floaters. Have to be fixed.

Agree with ANT. He has to shoot more than last year . Just need a bit of better selection between 3 and going inside but I’m fine with his volume of shooting.

Also very happy with Rudy! Huge performance and clutch at the end. Rebound, keep the ball for the FT , great défense on Jokic last shoot…. Should shut up Shaq for a while!

Agree. The shoot selection needs to improve. Want to see more ball movement and passing also.

NAW was +27 in 24 minutes.

Jaden was -29 in 26 minutes.

Weird, right?

Very. DDV not hitting his 3s is also quite weird.

He is playing a lot with the ball in his hands. Last season he played mostly as catch and shoot sniper

Still, he gets plenty of catch and shoot looks. At least 3 tonight off the top of my head and missed 2.

He made his first two catch and shoot three. He dished 6 assists, including two to Rudy. He also hustled and got 8 rebounds.

Given Conley’s age showing it sure would be nice to figure out how to get Dillingham some minutes, know the rotation is currently packed but getting him some run has so many potential benefits for this team.

Don’t know if this board is for Minny fan. We just beat a really good team having mvp player and I read here more complain than positive post. Sign of the era probably. Great game wolves! Get some rest amd tomorrow another tough game against SA. Time to see RD Luka amd Josh?

Agreed. I can't believe the amount of complaining about a team that made a major trade a few days before camp started that played their starters 1 game in the preseason.

How do people think it works with players roles and the politics of bringing a team together? Jaden is definitely in a slump so let's bench him after a few games? Cut Conley's minutes after a 4 game slow start ignoring 17 years of play? You can't just yank proven players up and down on a whim. If we're 15-20 games in and current trends continue, then sure, but this per minute critique of minutes makes no sense to me if you have any consideration of player's mindsets and wanting them to trust their coaches at all.

Finch is a coach that really likes to build slowly from a base. Right now we're trying to find that base. The Wolves are incorporating 2 major players to a deep 8 man rotation. They're obviously still finding their way. So many questions about why young guys aren't playing miss that we've first got to get the core squared away. It's a lot easier to give a few minutes to youth when you're actually in control of a game. The Wolves have either been behind or quickly losing leads all season. Give it some time.

Great comments by Rudy post game. On ESPN and I suck at technology so I couldn't put it here.
Ya"ll leave my Jaden alone!

That's not how it works. If the other team goes on a 8-0 run then the wolves are garbage and everyone needs to be fired
