LMAO Shai was elite right there. That was like watching a road runner cartoon or something the way he was not letting Ant get the ball chasing him. Good stuff SGA, can't even lie Haha! :rofl:

Dude has won three straight rookie of the months yet all I ever hear about on ESPN and TNT is Wemby. Like a month ago they were asking the TNT guys who will be rookie of the year and they all said Wemby like it was unanimous and easy, a no contest, its ridiculous how the media just chooses a narrative and sticks with it for as long as possible.

We are missing the MVW. Without Mike everything is harder.

They have been all over us since the tip. Karl and Ant especially getting mugged in the paint. I wish there was no star treatment and the game was properly and honestly officiated.

He made the shot, but that is an unbelievably abysmal shot-selection by Anthony Edwards there.

Really impressed with Minnesota’s defensive intensity, tonight. Other than a couple bad possessions, they’ve played focused, on that end.

Gotta be at least 20 before the fourth to be even close to safe.

I would rather see Ant take those pull-up 3's than long 2's

I never said anything about safe. I said bring it home. Lead would have to be 40 to be safe.

Gobert must have one of the worst hands in the league...so many turnovers just because he has butter hands

9-0 run by OKC. We give up too many long rebounds.

You can score inside vs OKC at will when Holmgren is not in the game. You must send help when SGA have the ball

If Anderson is in and open he needs to shoot to keep the defense honest.

Lost the 3rd quarter badly and need to win the 4th by 5. We were so focused on SGA we left Williams unguarded for the close of the quarter 3.
