Naz Reid is going to be the weak spot in our rotation. Terrible rebounder and terrible defender.

McDaniels and Okogie put on a defensive clinic. Like if Okogie can keep that up, he's going to have a spot on this team. It was nuts.

I hope he puts a ring on it.

Sorry I am inebriated and lacking nuance. In all seriousness, I think Reid has a place in this league because he has nice offensive skills for a big man. The real issue I see is that this new defensive scheme requires athletic traits that Reid lacks like agility and foot speed. We were able to hide him a bit on defense last year in the drop scheme. Tonight he was a step or two slow on almost every D possession.

Great start to season..really hope they can keep this defensive intensity across entire season instead of few games here and there

Nowell should not have been put in with a bad back. We are going to need him, I dislike the move. As for Bolmaro, he should have started the 4th and played the entire quarter.

Just one game, but man that was impressive. The energy, the effort on both ends, the comradery from the players...love it.

If we come out of this run against the Pels 3-0, I'm getting excited.

The defensive effort tonight is something I don’t recall since the Wolves drafted Pooh. It’s very promising.

TBH if wolves can get a mid teens/early 20’s first for him I would trade him while his value is relatively high.

It was nuts!

Building was going crazy.

I think Okogie got robbed of some blocks and steals for sure.
