Does anybody else think Kyle is starting to play better? It seems that way to me.

That was a definite block. Thought Finch might challenge the double foul because it could have been and and-one.

Our shooting is pathetic right now. All our inconsistent shooters, except JMac, can’t hit anything. Boston is playing 3-on-2 when we have Towns/Ant on the same side.

If KAT could shoot straight we'd be winning. Same with Jaden.

His defense, energy, etc have always been good. It’s just having someone that teams are playing 15 feet off really hurts our offense.

Kyle has a very awkward FT form, but he makes them ok right?

He's still not making 3s, but he's taking the ball to the basket effectively and everything else is good.

He’s at 70%. Not horrible, but not great.

I think his awkward form dates back to a nasty shoulder injury he suffered a few years ago. His shooting really hasn’t been “right” since (not that he was ever a great shooter).

We just cant get anything flowing, no one is hot or is able to let the team ride on their back. Ant and KAt have not been able to carry he offense.

1 point game at the half. Ant has 26 points coming in the 2nd half. Go Wolves.

Great first overall. We did not shoot well, but defense was here. Nice effort.

70% is bad, but not quite horrible.

I'm not greedy. I just want us to win the 2nd half by 2.

I miss Mike and Rudy :(. It is a miracle we are down 1. Now let’s win the second half by 3.

Great effort so far, we got a chance to win this one. If Ant gets a little better with the mid range pull up, he will be unstoppable.
