Jaden has been concerning for games now, I hope his development is not about to stall and he hasn’t reached his full potential by now. If he could improve to become a worthy third option… sky’s the limit for this team

SLO-MO has been stepping up lately, gotta admit that

I'm impressed by the team defense with Rudy out. Towns has been better protecting the rim and controlling drives as this year has gone on.

We've only got 4 points from the bench tonight. They've got 19.

Is Morris wearing Nike huarache 2k4s? My favorite shoes of all time that I’ve never owned.

Sure is!!! Already love him

Wolves have been ice cold the last two nights. That pendulum will swing back but in the meantime you wanna be able to grind out wins despite that in situations like this.

I'll never understand the hand is part of the ball thing. The ball is inanimate and the hand is part of the human body. You shouldn't be able to whack at your opponents hand.

Jaden is standing out of bounds around the 10:05 mark and Karl is trying to pass he is being swarmed and Jaden refuses to get back in bounds. Finally he starts running, and he runs along the out of bounds behind the rim and doesn’t reestablish to help Naz or rebound. Jaden is not giving an effort tonight.

These guys cover a huge percentage of the ball with their hands, so I agree with the rule. We would just have longer games because of the extra free throws. At least one rule that helps defense over offense.

Things that may mean nothing: Episode 3637

During a Tv timeout the whole team is taking and communicating. Jaden is completely ignoring it and being ver antisocial.

So you should be able to hit your opponents hands. What if you break their bones while doing it? I don't get it. If you can't get the ball clean you can't get it.

Last two games Ant can't buy a basket in the first 3.5 quarters than hot down the stretch.

Well, I think so. Honestly, I did not see this particular incident you talked about, but if there wasn’t intent to injure his hand and the defender made a play on the ball, it should be a good block. Just use the other hand to protect the ball

Who wants to bet Ant give Jaden a shoutout in the postgame?

Why was there now foul called on Dennis for hitting Conley immediately? No whistle until Jaden went over. WTF!?

Very happy we didn’t trade for Schröeder.

Bad first half. Took care of business in the 2nd.
