Not great, fam.

Not sure why, but I sense a big loss in this one... Please prove me wrong!!

Feel the opposite. Good win and see team improvement. Let's see. Go Wolves!

As much as I have felt tihs team hasn't been great so far, I do really think Edwards and Randle already have solid chemistry on the floor. I'm confident they will develop a better two man game than Ant and Towns did and it always baffled me that those two couldn't find synergy on the floor. Julius seems to flow much easier with Ant.

The ball moves better without either of them. They both kill the offense and have been lazy on defense. This team might be in trouble if Ant doesn’t wake up and Randle doesn’t man up, (in other words PLAY DEFENSE!)

At the end of the day, I think this is what really matters from this opening few weeks of the season, because it is what can truly pay dividends down the road.

We saw firsthand last season, elite offense defeats elite defense. With Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle as on-ball creators, to go along with floor-spacers Mike Conley, Donte DiVincenzo, Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, this group has the makings of a potentially elite offense.

"Ball movement" can be a bit of a fallacy, because it's based on the belief that three passes before taking a shot is better offense than only one pass before taking a shot.

my memory is that Wolves would get killed in transition
Charlotte usually has a bunch of young players, athletes
Wolves just wouldn't be matching the hustle

17th in pace for CHA so far this year, nothing crazy

Hopefully no one shows at 8:10 for the tip. It's starting right at 8 tonight. NBA genius at work.

We cannot lose this game.

respect to Taj, but Charlotte has zero interior D
be annoying if Wolves are settling for jumpers

not matching up in transition
just getting a body between the basket and the Hornet would eliminate like half their points

We looked like a bunch of walking zombies so far

Its time to move mcdaniels to the bench. Dude is overrated. He sucks and has low IQ

good job by Randle going to the rim just enough to draw Naz's defender off enough on that 3

We are getting to a point where the defensive issues can no longer be blamed on it being early in the season.

Randle hustling with that rebound

just insane TOs

A flurry of truly stupid plays to end the quarter.
