I told myself I will never say another bad thing about Jimmy again when I saw his playoff run last season, but i'd love to see KAT own him once next season rolls around. I didn't even realize KAT had 27 while watching the game

I believe that was Edwards 17th 25-point game, which would tie him with Doncic for 4th most by a teenager.

He was really upset with Bam after they lost last time. We were still in the game, just need a better squad and some better shooting, if we hit shots tonight we still could have pulled out a win.

I remember a quote from a Wolves player from a week ago (think it was Rubio)...something like 'you know what you get every night from KAT, DLo but what decides this team's potential and where it would go is Ant'...the problem with this statement is that even if Ant can become a top30 player, this team's potential will still not be high if KAT doesn't improve defense and his consistent foul trouble issues. This team struggles against any opposition who can exploit Wolves vulnerable interior defense. It's just so frustrating to see KAT keep making same mistakes again and again..I've almost reached a point where I have given up hope of KAT becoming a positive on defensive end.

Big bright spot. Edwards with 6 boards. Keep that up kid. Want him averaging 5 boards or more every season.

Ant scored his first points at 43-39, late in the 2nd. He then went on to abuse Jimmy. It was so bad that Spolstra had to double and triple team Ant once he crossed half court. That’s the ultimate sign of respect.

Ant struggled with the traps for a bit. We should have exploited that decision to give so much attention to Ant

Quick thoughts.

1. I really like Vando in this game. I need him to get better at finishing at the rim and a little smarter with his timing on cutting to the basket, but otherwise he is turning into an interesting player. He could be like MCD and play 3 or the 4 and his length will bother whoever he guards. His rebounding is strong and his defense is improving as the season goes on.

2. Juancho has to go. Not only is he not worth the money, but there are far too many more consistent players on the roster who need the minutes.

3. The refs decided this game. Booting Dlo, calling ticky tack crap on KAT, allowing clear fouls against our cutters, and not protecting our bigs inside. Our free throw shooting iced it, but the refs decided it.

Refs were the main reason we lost this game. You can't have different rules depending the team that make things, was infuriating to watch tbh.

Wolves and wolves fan are so anal about offense ... KAT and DLo will drag ANT into the abyss by mid next season.
