Only other team I have seen play with this much purpose recently is Denver in the playoffs.

This is the Ant show right now and that's great. Simmons and his crew will be raving about it but if we want to stay in this one, KAT needs to give us SOMETHING.

People say this every early season about them and they go on and choke in playoffs.

2nd half I am watching for two things. Can Finch make an adjustment to counter Boston has put together a good gameplan. Can Towns finally overcome his demons and compose himself and give us a good second half? We will need both things to be possible to win this game and do any real damage in the post-season.

He needs to be told to calm down sometimes. Once he starts that clapping a teammate or coach should talk to him. Once he's in his feelings he loses control and he's missing Rudy for easy points or assists.

I just want no dumb plays that lead to an easy dunk on the other side.

He needs to improve his trade value so we can get rid of Rudy too.

I hate to say it but you're right. Kat has to get his head out of his azz.

Great point. What they call on Kat is so ticky. It is unfair when they don't call it the same way on others. And they don't!!

He hooked him, just a dumb play. It's year 8, you can't think you never commit a foul every time


That's true and pizzes me off too. And I like Towns. He is his own worst enemy at times.

I don't like our offense. Little ball movement and it's the Ant and Reid show. They benched Towns with 3 fouls. Maybe he can complain a little more. Couldn't help it even though he's been better this year.

It's been a decent game so far but I don't like what I'm seeing.

Reid is just cold blooded. He's the perfect big off the bench.

Our offense is definitely not where we need it to be elite.

Some one needs to be the player leader to smack Towns or hold him accountable. Seems to me they don't like Gobert be that guy. Rivers doesn't want to be that guy (last year), Kyle maybe too over the top, Conley is too nice, Ant is still too young. But somebody needs to tell him no before he gets into a temper tantrum. All Finch can do is give him a timeout.

Imagine if Ant had a reliable running mate to help pull the load.

I know it's a ways down the road, but if the Wolves are going to go deep in the playoffs, Jaden has to be a lot better offensively. Teams are gonna force Jaden to beat them when it matters
