I hope someone will show this to Randle before the game. He needs to be physical and give effort in defense.

He performed much better against them in the playoffs.

I hope someone will show these playoff highlights to Randle before the game as well!!!

Will be a replay for me tomorrow as i will be on business trip. Go Wolves!

LeBronLess lakers? Should be a win.

We're a 2.5 point road favorite.

Sometimes coachspeak really pisses me off. Finch saying all kinds of wonderful things about Dilly, but doesn't give him one second PT in game one.

Have we figure out how to stop Luka?

Are they going to try it again?!

If Luka scores 50 but everyone else is held to 20, we still win easily. NBA game planning is about stopping more than just one individual player, however talented he may be.

No because he can't be stopped.

Don't they have 15 players? Luka for 50 the other 14 for 20 each means they score 330.

Tonight I hope Ant goes for 40 again or at least 30 on good efficiency, but this time he has 6 assists or more and 2 TOs or less.

Building his confidence is not the same thing as having confidence in him. We all saw the preseason. That was against 2nd, 3rd, and 4th string competition. I don’t see Rob as anything close to NBA ready, and his minutes last season didn’t exactly help us. Rob should be playing 30-35 minutes per game in Iowa and learning the position.

We disagree and a coach saying nice things about you then not giving you a second of PT doesn't build any confidence.

That ignores all the stay ready stuff which is a recurring theme every year. You can push the narrative that Dilly looked good in the preseason all you want, it doesn’t make it true. Obviously he isn’t blowing open any doors in practice, or he would have had more run than Bones in game 1. Dilly belongs in Iowa where he can get starter level minutes, not half rotation scraps which do nothing for him.

He belongs as our backup PG. I saw him looking bad the first two preseason games then looking OK to good in the rest. G League sucks.

Watch out for Rui Hachimura. He's that nobody we will make look like a superstar.
