Re: *** Wolves vs Grizzlies - Wednesday Night - 7pm CT FSN ***
Once again Ant gets us back into the game and we decide to go KAT late who commits dumb TO’s smh. At some point Finch has to demand Ant gets the ball in crunch time.
McDaniels has been getting in a lot of foul trouble as of late. Hope he is t picking up bad habits.
We lost the game on the Tillman OREB then Bane 3. Wolves have to add a legit rebounding PF/C this off-season. Too many games where we lose on second chance points

When did the team go small ever again???? I dont remember either. That ship has sailed long ago
Not saying we have gone small, I'm jsut saying lets not try that again, let's go the other, let's go big and bad. Rosas and the front office seemed like their aspiration was to remake the Houston model and I think that's big mistake. We need to get big and powerful.
I think w can safely say small ball is mostly dead in Minny. Finch won't have it. He's played at and Reid together e.g.

Ant averages 2.2 TOV per game. Hardly a turnover machine. I swear, Ant can do no right by some of you. As a 19 year old, he just had his second incredibly efficient 42 point game and we are talking about his “head scratching” 2.2 turnovers per game.

The Wolves shooting 53.8% within 5ft of the basket is the biggest reason the team lost tonight, there were just too many makeable shots at the rim that ended up being misses. The Grizzlies actually had a better shooting percent between 5ft-14ft (54.8% on 31 attempts) than the Wolves did at the rim.

Hard for me to blame shooting, even though we did miss a bunch of layups, when we scored 135. Have to fix the defense.

Ant is sooo good, already the leader of this team at 19 years old.
As Ricky fan, I said it multiple times, he just don't fit in this team at all, and he is young to just be in a mentor role for young people.
I hope he gets traded during the off-season.
Nonetheless I'm enjoying the blossoming of Ant and McDaniels.

Hats off to Ant's offensive explosion and to his best night of the season. Not a fan of the shot selection or him being the primary playmaker like some would like to see going forward, but the talent is undeniably there and it's hard to argue when the guy is cooking like he was last night. Still hoping for a lot more effort defensively and smarter play on both ends night after night, and that's as much on the FO and the coaching staff as it is on him.

Ricky's time with the Wolves ended years ago, it was easy to see that this reunion should have never happened.
He's being a real pro and he's putting the team first all season long -like he always does-, but for the sake of everyone involved he needs to be traded or bought out this summer. End the suffering, move on and let the guy try to get his career back on track elsewhere (it will be harder to do after this hot mess of a season); he deserves that much.

Still confused why they went away from Ant the last 4 or so minutes. KAT is just so weak in these situations.
LETS GO WOLVES!!!

I hate small ball. One of the stupidest ideas ever in the NBA.

Small ball and Tall ball, both create mismatches. I would rather go tall and let them try to match up with us rather than go small trying to match up with them.

That's the key. It's not just about small or tall. Neither does any good if it doesn't create an advantage.
