Pretty good start to the game & good intensity on defense...good to see Conley making shots.

DDV probably the first Wolf since Beasley to really hunt out 3s
but Beasley couldn't really make them off the dribble like DDV

This is the game to get Garza and Minott some run, develop them a little...why not? No reason for Ingles to be in over Minott, and keep Rudy fresh, let Garza play. A second unit of DD, Naw, Minott, Naz, and Garza should roll the Raptors

Fun game so far! Hope they continue the lead so the young guys can play

Donte really is such a fun addition to the team..we needed someone like him since Beasley left..also unlike Beasley, Donte isn't a one dimensional player

Gobert is a +21, 14 minutes in.

I'm already seeing chemistry bubbling between Ant and Randle. As much as I think Ant and KAT loved each other personally, they never seemed to have any chemistry on the court and it was really weird. I am very much hoping Ant and Randle can develop some nice two man game and of floor chemistry that will give teams fits. That would be huge for the Timberwolves who haven't had a real offensive identity in years.

NAW is a good basketball player. We won't be able to afford you, but go ahead, have a good year, and get paid.

4 steal for Mike already ! Not bad for Old Mike.

I'm hoping the Wolves don't lose their mental focus.

It would also be nice if they could stop giving the ball away. It's still very early in the season, but the number of unforced turnovers on what should be simple plays has been a consistent problem since the season began.

Way too many easy buckets at the rim when Rudy is out

I'm getting tired of Finch not playing the rookies. Every other team has been playing theirs but for some reason people make up excuses as to why we don't. I knew this would be a problem with him again. Joe isn't even a long term answer for the team and he's not important to a playoff run.

I’d really like to see Dillingham, Minott and Luka get some minutes.

If MIN is going to play the vets, they need to play hard and create a big lead. TOR actually outscored MIN in thr 2nd Quarter.

Teams have been scoring at will in the paint during the Randle/Naz minutes. The Wolves need to find a rotation combination that can help cover up for the weakness at the rim.

Once the Wolves got up by 15-16 points you could almost feel the intensity and focus drain out of the players on the court.

So Randle has easily been the wolves best player so far this year

We may see RD, Minnot and Garza in the 4th.

I really like that Randle is aggressive. We need that. So many times I felt like we didn't put pressure on the other defense. Randle will pressure fools. I like that he is in attack mode.

Get Mike out of the damn game. The raps are in full tank mode. get RD in there.

watch Joe get NAWs minutes.
