Love and Thunder

Looks like no one cares anymore? Wolves are winning. They are doing just enough hustle to cover up a lot of D mistakes

Would yall trade KAT for SGA? Then get whatever we can for DLo and sign Nowell and Naz?

SGA is unbelievable in the 3rd Qtr. Single handedly keeping the Thunders in the game with help from Wolves' sloppy offensive plays. Wolves should be up 15 or 20.

Wiggins is back to haunt us in a different form.

SGA is underrated. Exactly the kind of player you need in the modern game, a guard who can and will kill on any given night. If he was on a better team you would hear about him a lot more.

KAT alone would not be enough for SGA.

Thunder are building around SGA/Giddey/Holmgren anyway.

Another example of Coach, we need a time out to calm the team down. You are not going to have a chance to use them in the 4th.

I had very little expectations from Forbes and he has been a massive disappointment.

They likely wouldn’t trade him for Anthony Edwards, no world where that is on the table.

Wolves are trying so hard to give away this game. Edwards is constantly out of position play free safety.

My God they didn't make it easy but.... Aroooooo!!!

Some great defensive plays by Ant at the end! Reid is the man.

So many boneheaded mistakes, techs, turnovers, etc.

Yet we still won...my mind is blown.

Like i've said all season, i'll take these wins and try to figure it out later. Let's get back to .500 on sunday, hopefully DLO and Rudy are back by then

Rough game but still nice to get a win.

Reid had himself a hell of a game, Ant getting a near triple double is what we need out of him as the #1 guy but kudos to Rivers for turning up and having himself a game too.

Rudy, I think you might need to rest that ankle a couple more days.

Our team is really foolish, from, top to bottom, can't just blame the stars we got boneheads all over. Everyone we add from here on out needs to be the savvy, gritty type and e have to hope it rubs off.
