KAT needs to take more threes tonight I think.

Duarte kid is looking like a lethal shooter.

Wolves half court offense would be so much better if they just had a competent power forward that could shoot. KAT could average 32 a game if he wasn't constantly doubled

This game has Charlotte vibes indeed. Energy does not feel there tonight and the three point shooting is really bad.

Towns has so many weapons. If he could only sharpen his brain.

Sabonis owns us on the boards.

So many variables in winning games. Consistent scoring, injuries, other team having hot nights, etc. Makes it all the more bonkers the Warriors and Suns are just racking up several straight wins every week. The level you have to be playing at to do that is so elite. Everything has to be on point every night. The odds of another team being hot once in a while or some player just going off will happen and you still get the win. Crazy.

Wolves shoot 64% on 2s (which also generated 8 FT attempts) and 15.8% on 19 3pt attempts. It would be really good if this team could recognize what is working and what isn't and try to adjust their shot selection. I'm getting really tired of the Wolves shooting themselves out of games with a torrent of 3pt misses.

Also, I'm mystified on how Prince is still in the rotation. He's shooting 25% on 3s and is a not a good defender.

At this point, I think Finch wants it that way. He's implementing that stupid Houston Rocket offense where everyone stands outside the 3 while one player does his thing to either get a shot off or pass it to a shooter. In our case, we don't have a James Harden or great shooters. So yeah, that offense sucks ass. Finch needs to realize that asap.

Well, Indy made a lot of shots. We were cold for the most part. Indy should miss a few and give us a chance.

It’s mind boggling that instead of heat checks, we do cold checks. The players can’t see that 3s aren’t falling but will continue to cast, and miss, is amazing

Glad to see Nowell get some run. Uber small is just not working well for us. I joked that Ant might see the 5 tonight, I hope that wasn’t prophetic. With V8 we would be up 20 because he would be grabbing all the missed 3s and giving us second and third chances. Ant is once again missing in action. He keeps pulling disappearing acts similar to Wiggins (SMH.) KAT is the only Wolf playing well.

How they can play Okogie over Nowell is totally beyond me.
