First game I'm able to watch in a while. Good start, love the ball movement and multiple efforts defensively. Must win, no **** around anymore please

Let's go Wolves - 4th in a row. We need this one. HOU, GSW, and LAC all won their last game. In addition we are in a 3 team tie 7th to 9th.

The ball movement I'm seeing from this team is really good now. They are hustling on defense too. I'm liking what I'm seeing from the guys lately.

Randle is fitting in much better too. He might be the key to our success going forward if he can be pass first and not force his own shot.

Who cares about Wiggins? He doesn't even start. Somebody should check his pulse on the bench.

Ant just took Kyle Anderson apart driving to the basket. :) They both smiled. Then Kyle misses a 6 footer near the basket. Some things never change.

I hate the Miami zone. They need to get the ball to Jaden in the middle of the floor.

Shot selection has been bad in the 2nd qtr. Randle needs more post up. We didn't try hard enough to get close to the basket.

They really fudged the game up with that zone. Have to be more aggressive

The zone **** them up and killed their rhythm. They need to regroup and have a better plan. If they do we'll win easily, if not then it's going to be a grind.

What a terrible 8 pts sequence by Wolves with 2 turn overs. Hopefully that doesn't cost us the game.

Will Finch every call a time out to check the Miami run? Not until we blow an 11 pt lead not down by 3. Come on Finch. Something is off with Ant.

All that drama for nothing in the 3rd qtr. Got up by 11 than those two quick turnovers killed the momentum. Than another bad stretch.

I think he is sick. He missed a lot of time in the 3rd with no apparent injury.

He’s quite obviously dealing with an ankle injury since that fall against Charlotte. He usually sucks for 2-3 games after amhis ankle flare ups. Let’s pull this out and enjoy an arroooooooo

This game was the first in a while against a higher level of competition. We are still very rough in some places and win or lose we must use the next 17 to clean things up before the playoffs.

Wolves got to go inside more. Can't just rally on the 3. Up 5 with 4 mins to go. Just need to hang in there. Every time I watch Bam, he chokes. Let's hope the trend continues.
