Damn Ant, when you got Kelly O on you, you have to drive by and blow past him, don’t settle for that crappy 3.

Then Kelly hits the 3 on the other end.

Finch timeout smh

Rockets started hot from 3 again...it fizzled out by end of the match yesterday but Wolves definitely need to do better job of defending perimeter.

Edwards within 3ft of the rim is 3-3, outside of 3ft he's 0-3. The formula for success seems pretty straight forward.

KAT is back to complaining to the refs, unfortunately. Beasley looks gassed to me which is to be expected, nothing like being in NBA shape.

when he is complaining instead of getting back, it also affects the transition defense badly which is a major weakness for this team

Need to trade or cut all the Point guards in this offsense. Just no use using them as corner three dogs, won't let them drive-kick. They are all told to just hand it off obviously. Just remove them, sit them.

Jmac playing way crappy today. Not taking care of the ball and getting owned on defense.

He has to play through it. Still better to play him behind Rubio than to see point Ant.

I'd go with Nowell as the backup PG. Other than one steal, McLaughlin has been terrible on both ends.

Yes he has been today. He's limited in this style offense anyway of just handing it off and go stand in corner.

Right now it's a better option than handing the ball to the Rockets

Nowell gets pulled for his crappy turnover.

Wolves must be one of the worst teams in league when it comes to finishing at the rim

People need to understand when it makes sense to pull a guy and when you are causing more damage than good.

A guy playing hard, but not hitting shots, or causing a few bad luck turnovers is not a reason to pull him, nor does it really help - it will hurt his confidence and he will be even worse in the next game.

A guy refusing to take instructions, refusing to play defense, playing selfish, thats a good coaching point to pull him and talk to him.

I don't understand why KAT is hesitating to take open 3's so much this season
