KAT really struggles when the refs call a game that allows a lot of physical play in the paint.

Like how Jmac has been so steady tonight. He really stabilized Dlo's bad PG play, cleaned a lot of that up.

KAT killed Val 1st quarter just blowing by him in space, whole 2nd half he's doing a mano a mano BS, unbelievable

hopefully ANT can carry team rest of the way

-14 on the glass right now.

The thing that bothers me most about KAT's complaining is that he needs to understand it just makes things worse. Authority figures HATE to be challenged. They are going to be biased against you if you keep trying to show them up. It's really counterproductive to keep yelling at them, you just go on their **** list and they give you a harder time. They can get away with it too when you are on a bad team.

Frustrating game so far. Hope we can pull this out.

Wolves just don't get spaced out in transition, single defender able to pick up two guys

Unreal shot.

DLo: better lucky than good.

Was just talking to my brother the other day. He said he hates how Russell isn't clutch and misses big shots. I was like "What?" That's one of the few strengths people agree he has. He is clutch. Thank God he has hit a couple of big ones tonight.

Gotta accept that this is how D’Lo plays I guess. Meh 1st halves, lit last 3 mins.

We played about as bad as possible and came out with a win.

I was very impressed with McLaughlin in the fourth quarter. Much needed stability and a ton of smart plays.

Arooooo! Walk out of here with a win. Ugly as sin but I am happy to get the W! LETS GOOOO!!!! Bad game but getting that win is all that matters when we look back.

I love having him in the rotation. Dude is a professional. Saved our ass.

Unsung heroes tonight.

McLaughlin
Clutch Dlo
Beasley with some timely plays
Pelicans inability to hit the deep ball

I hope this serves as an early season warning to Towns to keep control of his temper.

When he fouled out with six minutes left, and the giant Vanciunas still out there, this game was very much in doubt. I hope KAT felt every second of this one almost slipping away because of his behavior.

He just can’t keep doing this - he’s too important to this team.

Just saw Ant had 9 boards and 5 dimes. Wow. Nice.
