Okogie and Culver have been pretty decent the past 3 games with the new look Wolves honestly. Hopefully the advanced passing and playmaking accelerates their development a bit.

How many ppg do you guys think the Wolves average post all star break til the end of the season? 120?

It's a different feeling to look at 33% on 3pt attempts and think it wasn't a good shooting half. For most of the year I'd have been happy to shoot that well.

Hernangomez, Johnson, Russell, and KAT have all missed decent amounts of time in the past and sitting them more could help figure out what role Spellman, McLaughlin, Martin, and Vanderbilt will ultimately have with the team.

I think we want to win. We don't want to blow our chance to change the culture and win the fanbase back. As for missing time this is the first year KAT has ever missed much time.

Yep. We're playing to win. No doubt.

This whole last offensive sequence was such a mess. :lol:

Russell loses the ball but it finds its way to Okogie who passed it to Juancho who in turn tried to lean into a foul and instead air balled it.

Wow they showed Covington on the big screen. He at the game watching with Rosas. He got a huge standing ovation from the crowd. Really cool to see him get the appreciation.

It's fun to watch a good PG play on this team...some nice interchanges between DLo and Beasley in last sequence...also JJ has been impressive on defense

The Wolves really need to lock McLaughlin into a long term deal.

Here comes Vanderbilt!

If this still wasn't about seeing what we've got and building for the future, the Wolves likely would've made big adjustments by now during this run.

Noooooo!

So, we suck again eh.

IN other news, listening to some of the 4th quarter of the Memphis game and it was all Gorgui Gorgui Gorgui JANG! They loved him! Until last I heard was a "badly missed 3" and a travel. But yeah otherwise they like his size.

The centers killing the Wolves without KAT makes me think that giving Mejri a look could have value.

Post #57 » by **Mamba4Goat** » Thu Feb 13, 2020 3:10 am

All tied again!

I came for the TIE

The team could use a bit of discipline being drilled into them.

Russell does not have the athleticism to get to the rim, or create his own shot
