Good first. Seems that we find our defense finally. Like also to see Mike-RD playing few min together. Part of learning process for RD.
Just one bad point for me. Don't know why ANT, Mike and others still wanna shoot when they have Victor close in front or in the paint. Block or impossible shot almost guarantee.

Too busy watching the Bills vs Lions.

The big D is actually in Minnesota. Holding SAS to 37 pts in a half is awesome. Let's get the big O started. NAW is looking better and better as a dependable 3nD guy. Definitely best the TC trade so far.

Solid first half by the Wolves. Keep this energy up and they got this.

It didn't look like Edwards touched Wemby but they called a foul with around 48 seconds left. Also looked like a ref touched a live ball earlier in the game but still went out of bounds.

Of course, I'd like to see Dillingham play more. Looking solid out there.

I was thinking the same, Ant keep going at Victor and not getting good results. Maybe try to get him in foul trouble?

Going to be hard to trade DD if he keeps shooting like this

You're right. But he have to be careful on his own about fouling as he got 3 already.

Agree! Seems that we did not get last year version of DDV at the moment. His value will down fast if he keep shooting this way.

LMAO at Julius stealing that pass meant for Rudy.

What the hell has happened to Naz Reid. He seems to be in a funk this season.

It's now 9.

ANT keeping going after Victor. Finch should tell him to be smarter than that. Victor will ended with 10 blocks tonight. Not a good start at the 3rd.

Finch calls a timeout. Wow. This is a big game, could have a big impact in play-in seeding at seasons end.

I would never root for Randle ever. Dude has negative energy

TimberKat · Post #14 » by **TimberKat** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 1:36 am

Team is pressing, putting up a lot of bad shots in 3rd qtr.

TimberKat · Post #15 » by **TimberKat** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 1:44 am

If JMcD keeps playing this way, we will be a very good team. Bad night for Gobert so far, missed a couple easy dunks.

Hard to watch Donte DiVencenzo right now. Dude just hasn’t had the sauce, this season.

FrenchMinnyFan · Post #17 » by **FrenchMinnyFan** » Mon Dec 16, 2024 1:44 am

Bad 3rd indeed. I hate Randle when he miss a shoot and come back in defense looking totally disinterested. Lucky still be up by 6 after playing so badly.

Agreed, tonight we got the bad version of Rudy and DDV. Not even wanna talk about Randle as i think there is only the bad version available

As soon as we said that, Gobert made two dunks. I do hope Randle turns it around at some point. Very painful to find out Towns has a 22/22 night.
