Do we need to start talking about NAW as a Mike Conley heir apparent?

Good defense creating a lot of good transition offense for us.

Absolutely needs to be in the conversation

One more board and Rudy has a double double again. Also he hasn't missed any FTs this game.

he would be the archetype if you believe Jaden has another level offensively, particularly half court/shot creation

Man, Rudy has been good. This is the Rudy I expected last year.

After a rough start the Wolves are taking care of business. That has to be the slogan for this team and the theme song.

20 point lead hard to believe we were down 12.

This is what you do defensively to a weak team missing its best player.

Utah has a lot of players who look pretty good as role players when playing with better players, and pretty bad when they have to carry the load themselves.

What has happened to Kyle Anderson.
It's like he aged 5 years in the offseason.
Is he nursing back problems or some other injury again?

If he can keep playing at the level of the last 2 games, we are going to be really dangerous in the postseason.
Love the aggressiveness tonight.

His shots are way off and he also doesn't want to take them so I am guessing that is the case.

This game is a pick-pocket's dream. No question in my mind that Corey Brewer would have six steals, in this game.

I am going to hold off the "I told you so" to all you non-believers until mid-season. Also, we finally go a team that allow Gobert to play free safety and he is living up to it. Regression to the mean. Ben Wallace was never this good :D
