I think this might be the first time all season the Wolves actually have a size advantage with Towns, Reid, and McDaniels all on the court.

Rubio is just happy it wasn't him.

They were being super aggressive with Rubio picking him up 94 feet. Makes sense; if you force the ball out of his hands then you've got Rubio and Okogie both spotted up.

Got to get better shooters and more creative plays. Kawhi has locked up Beasley and Towns is getting doubled, need others to step up. We have had 3 big 0-10 level droughts in this game because we can't manufacture buckets.

Jmac running that lame Brookln offense from Dlow's past. That's our coaches pushing that. He doesn't need that junk with it's 3 hand off passes. That's for our other lame PGs. I really hate these coaches.

Okogies number 1 priority for his basketball future is to develop an ok corner 3. It's a must for him at this point with the modern game and how opponents are treating him.

Yep, if he could hit completely undefended 3s at even a 33% rate he would at least be playable.

Is this the sarcastic hespiritu? Not a fan.

Your Okogie Rubio luvers ruined the game lead, the one the bench built largest this game. Thank Ryan.

Then he has a drive/kick specialist pg playing the scheme that's meant for weak PGs with no quickness or moves, the 3 handoff change of direction bs that he Clippers have now sniffed out.

Ryan they figured out this lineup, they have different guys out there. he's got to adjust. Try adding Juancho, change it up. Need some outside shooting.

Naz is overmatched against starting centers, but against the second unit he can dominate.

The rebounding gets on my nerves but can't deny his impact.

Rosas missed hard on Culver, but has found gems such as:

Naz
Nowell
Jmac
Jaden


Also got Beasley & Vando in a trade.

Jury is still out on Ant but he looks like a keeper

Just shoot it Nowell. That's what the pass is coming to you for. Stop watching Beasley.
