Game 16 : MIN at BOS

[TimberKat]

Do the Wolves have the brain, heart, guts, or balls to keep the game competitive today?

[minimus]

Brown hitting four straight threes against Randle and Edwards is epitome of this season

[Calinks]

11-0 run!

MIN and Ant always play well in BOS, and against top teams.

Dilly breakout game incoming!

The Wolves scrambling to try to keep Dillingham from getting switched onto bigger guys is not looking good. I think they are going to have to either let Rob try to guard off the switch or double team the ball.

[minimus]

BOS hunted Rob in every offensive possession. Love Dillys effort in defense, but you MUST contest Pritchard, his is the hottest 3PT shooter in NBA right now. Also in offense when you have favorable matchup against Hauser, dont ask for screen that brings switch and one of White/Holiday

[minimus]

Minott did not read scouting report, because BOS are first in 3PA rate because of guys such as Hauser.

[minimus]

Rob, shoot that pull-up threes!

[wolves_89]

Dillingham's offense doesn't make up for the hole he creates on the defensive end. It's why the team has been a net negative pretty much every stint he's been on the court.

[minimus]

MIN offense still has no rhythm

[ILC]

This offense is ****. No movement, no plays, either no passing or very late. Just iso all over the place.

Dillingham looks to be AT best a lite Lou Williams which isn't exciting at all. He'll never be able to play passable defense.

[minimus]

It wont be in stat line, but Gobert affected a lot of BOS drives today.

[ILC]

What's with these deep wing Naz 3s? Where's the pin downs, fades to the corner, run a screen or something once in a while?

I'm flabbergasted because the Pelicans had a beautiful offense with Finch as the offensive coordinator when Rondo, Jrue, Boogie and AD were there. A lot of movement, guard to guard slip screens, two bigs pNrs etc., much faster and more points in transition.

[wolves_89]

I really like the Ant/Dante pairing. DiVincenzo should be able to get a ton of open looks when Ant draws two defenders. It would be hard to do, but there are real reasons Dante should start over Mike.

[Calinks]

People want the young guys to play? Going to have to deal with the drawbacks, that's why they weren't playing earlier.

[wolves_89]

Naz/NAW go 0-7 and the Wolves are only down 3 at the half. Hopefully those guys can get on track in the second half.

[wolves_89]

I feel a little bad for Minott. He ended up with a -8, but he only made one real mistake and even that one was more on Randle than him. Playing with Dillingham, Randle, and Naz makes defending nearly impossible.

[Danimals]

Randle’s offensive game is so ugly. It reminds of when a football or hockey player joins a pickup game and just try’s to run everyone over. At least those guys usually play hard on defense.
