Maybe you can call the game after middle of third qtr today. Ant is very average and Towns is hyperventilating on very play.

Might as well let Jaden and NAZ shoot 3s every possession.


F that! Ant has all off season to heal up. We're down to almost no tomorrow. There is no time to rest. Take a long nap instead.

Maybe they were partying it up after Denver thinking this would be easy. I have no sympathy for this kind of horse bleep play.

Many of us here have been suffering for 35 years!

All things considered I am fine with the score but there's no sense that Dallas will at some point feel threatened by anything the Wolves throw at them. They look really confident.

I would understand Ant being on the floor as a decoy/defense to an extent. But if he is 60-80% against this defense, how much is he going to help? Enough to win?
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Kat is so broken that it's a coin flip if we throw garza out there, or Kat suddenly wants to play.

The sample size is somewhat large, and i would lean towards trying luka.

I think Ant still can be a very good spot up 3 shooter. Maybe we need to run more Gobert/Towns pick and pop with Ant spot up.

Doncic has such an annoying demeanor.

Kat is trying too hard and wilting out of the pressure. Kat is a head case and has to gain some mastery over his emotions. He's thinking too much. He just needs to remember a time when everything went in, relax and just let it happen.

Wolves need to shade Luka’s right arm. Why is Jaden allowing him to go right?

Exactly, just give up the 2pt drive and jump shots

Conley should be guarding Luka, length doesn’t bother him, just have Conley stay in front of him.

Seriously, what do the Wolves have to do to get a call in our favour? Some of the calls have been horrendous.

Ant being so aggressive gives me some hope.

The Lively injury is so key. Ant is driving every time when Powell is in there!
