Minnesota at Washington, 6 pm

[TimberKat]

For those that thinks Gobert clog up the middle for Ant. Check out the 7.0 Sec 1st Qtr play. Min has 5 out and you still see a bunch of white jersey in the middle because they know what Ant was going to do. Doesn't matter if Gobert is there or not. Ant end up try to make a difficult 3. Perhaps the right play is Ant take a few dribble to draw the defenders closer than pass it out?

Let's see if the 2015 Atlanta Hawks can win against the Wizards.

yep, his biggest hurdle still is that he doesn't manipulate the defense to the Wolves TEAM advantage yet
if they are throwing 2 or 3 defenders at him constantly, thats a big win for the Wolves offense, if the right play is made
not too many guys in league that draw that consistent attention

Shut up KAT. Just play and stop complaining

[Calinks]

Looks like Mike Conely is extremely important to what we do. We also seem to really lack offensive identity. Our defense is just a massive part of who we are and when we can't impose it we struggle with anyone. The rest of the season needs to focus on finding something we can rely on the offensive end outside of Ant getting hot.

[TimberKat]

What are we going to do with Milton? What can Milton do for you? His confidents is totally shot.

[TimberKat]

Go-feed-the-Bert!!!

This game is stressful

That OKC media guy is dumb as hell

[BlacJacMac]

We can not lose 8 straight times to the Wizards...

[Calinks]

I wonder why we have so much trouble with fouling. Is it we are just too slow or is it simply IQ? We rack them up like nobodies business.

[_AIJ_]

We suck.

[Calinks]

I'll be so happy when we have a team that routinely blows out weaker teams like the Sixers do every night. I'm tired of us always having to be in a dogfight with these teams for at least 70 percent of the game. I'd like to know the game is over by the first quarter more often.

IQ mostly and bad foot work.

[BlacJacMac]

59 points at the half. To the 25th ranked offense.

It feels like our defense has been figured out.

[TimberKat]

Consider how bad wolves shot the ball, down two is very fortunate. Hopefully we shoot the ball better in the second half and win the track meet, to grind out a win.

edit: WAS shot 51%, 54%, 81%. MIN 36%, 23%, 84%

Karl and Naz pick a night when Mike is out to have a power failure. That is 3 of the top 4 scorers for the Wolves. Kyle, Shake, and JMAC all had bad missed on essentially uncontested bunnies. Jaden is of 2 of 5 which isn’t terrible but it isn’t stepping up either. 2nd chance points and points off turnovers are the only reason we are not being blown out.

Ya think?

Yep, defense has abandoned us like you said.

Our bench is 3 for 15. Ant is 4 for 11, and Kat is 3 of 10.

We've committed 3 T.O's to their 10. We can't play much worse except for T.O's.

You forgot to mention the foul trouble. That is playing much worse.

[BlacJacMac]

Wizards have 19 assists on 20 FGs.

That's what moving the ball looks like.
