I hope you not reading too much into facing Siakam, Nesmith and both of end of bench guys. And we BARELY won that one despite all their injuries.

Our offense without him IS BRUTAL, its all Randle hero ball bullying smaller guys crashing rim with drives, and hoping his mid range post fade is hot that game. If its not, that's all she wrote folks.




Literally no other offensive weapon out there. Or ball handler.


Let's hope we break even in these coming weeks, we will be lucky too.


And that Shannon Jr gets good reps with elevated minutes, just crashing the basket and learning what works or doesn't work for him.

Randle was hot for nearly every playoff game this year, and he's one of the best in the NBA at creating space, probably the best fade-away jumper in the NBA.
And Gobert doesn't rely on ANT to score, he gets scores from offensive rebounds and cuts.

Would be nice if they can find a way to utilize Rudy more on that end. I feel like if that happens, the Wolves could be in much better shape for the rest of the season.

Wolves will win way more than 49 games, that's for sure.
They have excellent chemistry, exactly what we saw in the playoffs.

Wolves still can flip him for Ayton though!

This is ill-informed and dumb.


More ill-informed and way dumber things used to happen in the NBA.

What are you trying to prove with that statement?

Hopefully to kick-off a PR campaign of humiliating Ant to shrink his value and send to LAL for peanuts.
