Game 51: Minnesota @ Chicago

[MN7725]

Remember what I saying a game or two ago about Towns and Edwards never seem to get any type of two-man game or chemistry together? Tonight they are doing it in spades so far. Wow!

this is classic Towns game being matched up with Drummond most of the time, being defended by someone who has no ability to play on perimeter or in space

I guess this is why no teams have tried to switch it up and go big against us. It just makes things worse lol.

Chi doesn't have much choice right now, but Orlando did good job with their size in 4th quarter

but thats because they have freaks like Isaac, Franz

Vuc and Drummond are probably least athletic combo in the league playing together, one of them has to guard KAT, and the other has to cover pick/roll with Rudy's screening constantly

Anthony Edwards missed Towns wide open on that drive that got swatted. Gotta make that read.

Dome there will be good plays and bad. I think he did OK that first half.

I complimented a good pass by Anthony Edwards earlier this game and have spoken positively about both Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards' performance. I am going to post about it when a player misses a simple read.

I get you. He missed a play. I'm not going to nitpick him myself. Big picture he had a good half.

[KGdaBom]

Nice Bulls picking up 2 fouls in less than a minute. We could be shooting a lot of FTs.

[Nick K]

Keep this up and we may get some early Miller time!

It's Miller time for me right now!

[Nick K]

I'm loving the ball movement. I just hope the guys don't get too cocky and miss shots while turning it over. It's our M.O. of late.

[MN7725]

ugh
Bulls making some tough shots, Wolves decision making not there
Bulls being crazy aggressive on defense, just need to move the ball, wear their legs out, start cutting to take advantage of the aggression

[Nick K]

WOOOODY!!!!!

[KGdaBom]

This third quarter is NOT how to take care of business. Where did the defense go?

[MN7725]

other than some mind numbingly bad passes, Wolves haven't played horrible, not like some of there other recent games

missing a lot of wide open looks, Rudy's put back dunk seems to have energized things

[KGdaBom]

Ant with some big plays to stop the bleeding for a minute.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Usual stupid TO from ANT, Jaden... will definitly kill us at PO time.

Cocky, over-confident, and careless! It was so much fun there for a while. I want to sit through a laugher for a change.

[MN7725]

wow, MJ-esque hang time on that ANT drive
season highlight play

[MN7725]

rough game for Reid, seems off last 10 games or so

can't seem to drive off the bounce anymore, maybe tired

been missing a ton of rebounds

[winforlose]

Lost the 3rd quarter by 13. Gross!

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Ant keep us in the game. Definitly a bad 3rd. Go Wolves!

[Calinks]

Please don't collapse fellas, just get the easy win for once.

[TimberKat]

I am on delay watching the game. Chicago just went on a 10-0. All that time, Finch didn't find a good opportunity to call a timeout? Had to wait until a stupid fail challenge at 7:33 to make it a timeout??? When the opposing team just ran 10-0 and as the head coach, you don't have anything intelligent or encouraging to say to your players? Did the coach loss the team or just a loss coach?

[m2002brian]

Too many 3s, too many fouls, too many bad passes.

[KGdaBom]

Why isn't a 22 point halftime lead safe. Come on Wolves.
