Talk here.

No Bane is big. Nbatv game, hopefully we come out wanting to play.

I'm hoping Finch will finally be willing to try something different than gifting Nowell minutes. Some combination of Moore/Knight replacing those minutes would be worth a try.

Win or Lose we always seem to give Memphis fits

Unfortunately, he is going to get minutes until the trading deadline. We totally miscalculated the 3pt production we should get from Nowell and Forbes. If we can't get an upgrade from DLo, I hope we at least could get some 3pt shooting guard to take Nowell and Rivers' minutes.

Good start...rebounding still an issue

Nowell with multiple blown defensive assignments and multiple bad turnovers.

Memphis is playing like they are at the end of a 5 game road trip. Hopefully, we don't give this one away. Good timeout.

It's astonishing how much more athletic Naz is compared to his first summer league with the Wolves.

Being blunt, Jaylen Nowell shouldn’t be playing.

We miss TP and JMac from the bench

I really like Knight in the Vanderbilt role. He's not quite as quick guarding on the perimeter, but he has more size and offensive ability. Plus, he provides energy and just makes things happen.

Miss them big time. Without TP and Towns, the only reliable 3pt shooter right now is DLo. Ant and JMac is streaky. KA likely regress back to the mean. Nowell is playing JMac's minutes.

Replace the Nowell/Rivers minutes with a plus perimeter defender and this team would be so much better.

I love when Ant utilizes his drive and kick game.

Does Memphis not know Kyle Anderson is our best shooter??????

I know it may be in the team’s best interest to move on from Russell but it might really mess up the chemistry that’s being built.

Him and Ant have a bit more synergy lately. Would it be better to try and facilitate a sign and trade in the off-season??

Beautiful moves from Naz and Jaden in B2B possessions.

I'm far less convinced that moving DLO is in the team's best interest than I was in the off-season.
