I'm hoping things start to click for Towns tonight.

Can we put 2 in a row together?

They have a lot to prove to me.

Did you see Gobert ran out to the corner and blocked Collins' shot?

The best way to watch a Wolves game is with a DVR, pause and read posting in this group :)

I love the post ups and how he uses his body to block off Collins for the hook shot.

Ant is so consistent with his 3s this year. I am about to lobby for green light for whenever he wants to take that shot :D He still love that cross court corner pass too much

Damn there was a bet about taking Markkanen making 4 three's. I should have taken it.

Lauri is becoming a legend in Utah, he has kept them in this game and now they are getting some mojo. Got to keep playing hard.

Leaving way too many guys wide open.

Game after 2 days off. Mike shooting look a bit rusty. Overall we play quite well, just giving too much open 3.

Did we just witnessed the Big-3 lineup for the first time? Seems to work :D

UTA was hitting them too. There is no easy games in the NBA. Got to make runs and counter runs.

Wolves look like the better team. A good team should blow them out in the second half. Saying that, I'm sure they'll lose by 20

No whole game and the win. I wouldn't have bet big but a small bet cause the odd were solid.

This is the best half of Ant that I can remember (just a couple bad mins near the end of 1st half). He is starting to slow down in the paint. Hitting 3s, really good mid-range, attack the paint with patient, passing, and defense.

Lakers getting destroyed by an injured Magic team. TOUGH.

Towns getting better but still too much extra curricular activities with his moves - a little hook, a little kick, and some bad acting. It makes it look like a foul when he didn't touch the guy. Wonder if we could hire Tim Duncan to work with him on moves and footwork.
