Siri says Ant weighs 225lb. He is 6’7.

Siri has an old weight for Ant.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Ant referred to as being 6'7". He was listed as 6'4" last year (and still is on the Wolves website) and I'm very doubtful he added 3 inches.

I missed it, what did they show?

It was an overhead view in the center court where the wolves logo is, dimmed up, hype background music a la the chicago bulls one. First time i saw that intro.

So I guess when the Raps don't have Van Vleet, they just don't play anyone under 6'6"? Less than ideal for all our lineups have 2 smaller guards

Guys, anyone else notice how much better Towns has been with double teams lately? He was horrible early in the season.

I think Kat has become more utilitarian as the season has gone on. Early in the season, I think he just was so excited and wanted to have a great season, he'd always be going for big home run plays. Nothing pretty about that past pass, just patient and shoved it to the right place.

Up 2 at the half with DLO/ANT combining to go 1-9 from the field. The Wolves are in good shape if the shooting comes around a little bit.

It's kind of weird how much better this Wolves team have shot in away matches vs home matches

Down 13? He can make a 13 point lead down to 7 in 20 seconds

That's why Beasley still gets minutes.

The downside of his game is he can go 0-4 on 3s in a couple minutes which results in a 6-8 point swing against the Wolves where the opponent gets long rebounds and multiple fast break layups at the other end.

I am kind of positively surprised at Jaden's evolution on the offensive end over last couple of months...he is doing so much more than just being a Catch-and-shoot guy

Jim Peterson savage for bringing up the Edwards on Yuta Wantanabe dunk.
