Wolves v Celtics 1/10 Game Thread

[KGdaBom]

We are actually playing quite well. Not perfect, but quite good.

[Domejandro]

Towns wide open on the trail, Anthony Edwards instead dribbles the ball for sixteen seconds and takes a fade away, heavily contested, bank-shot eighteen-footer. Minnesota was stringing away over her great possessions, and we get that dumpster fire.

I just don’t understand people that don’t see what I see. The dude puts up points, but kills the team offensively when he does this. When he makes shots, it’s magical, but the decision-making in-between makes me cry.

As a Wolves fan who pays close attention I think you notice and slightly exaggerate everything Ant does wrong.

How many possessions is Kyle Anderson going to cost us tonight? I like him but he is so lousy offensively. Come on KA. Only shoot if it's a last resort.

[winforlose]

Great 3rd quarter defense to keep this great offense in check.

[Calinks]

I need KAT to go en fuego in this 4th, like 3/5 from 3. With some nice post buckets. I need him to bust out the Big KAT of old. Act like Ryan Saunders is on the sideline tonight with some shades on with smartscreens showing Gorillas fighting on them.

But we just literally saw what I described happen.

I am constantly praising Anthony Edwards when he makes the right decision (even when he turns the ball over because he reacts too late, you can read a couple game threads ago where I support two turnovers he made trying to feed the open man). It’s specifically the whacky, off balance shots and dribbling for more than five seconds against good defenders that drives me crazy; it turns a brilliant game into just a very good game (like tonight).

He’s twenty-two, so he will improve on it, but these decisions are what separate the All-Stars from the superstars (because even the best players have off shooting nights).

I do see your point. It's about lesser of all evils. At this, as long as he doesn't turn over too much or keep those long dribbles to when players needs a rest. I am calling it good. It's that or KA passing up or missing shots or JMcl or Milton.

[KGdaBom]

3 chances to up the lead to 8 or 9. Couldn't get one to fall.

Towns has been making great decisions on drives, playing way more mature, tonight.

We are 8 minutes away from the defining win of the season. Come on Wolves. Take care of business.

[Calinks]

Jaden letting us down again with these fouls. Celtics keep hitting threes to stay in it, we have responded to the last couple.

Must be true because I just got online to say we’re good.

[Klomp]

Naz Reid. Two words. Three points.

More like 3 Bigs than Big 3 if you consider Ant big.

That isn’t a response to a single thing that I described, so I’m just dropping it. Yes, I am aware that Anthony Edwards is a good player.
