Weird start for DLO, he's been good on the defensive end and terrible on offense.

That's how he started last season. Stayed that way for months.

He needs to settle, and take some mustard off of his passes

He's been so desperate to prove himself as a passer these past couple years. Maybe playing with an interior finisher will help him fulfill that fantasy. Gobert's catch radius is insane.

Might have been the most blatant inbounding violation of this decade.

Let's go Killer Rabbit :D We should be happy that Wolves are no rabbits now. We are lions this year. Genuine Apex Predator!

D'lo is better when he does less! You need him to be CLUTCH SHOOTER OVER A SHOOTER. He drives me nuts because I love him and I hate him. :)

Man, Towns looks good. He needs to gain 10 pounds but you can see the work he's put in.

Nowell is stepping up to be the guy we thought. A very good player.

Not a great a first quarter (gave up 6 offensive rebounds, turned it over 4 times, and shot 3-9 on 3s), but still up 13.

I thought the final 7-8 min looked crisp. First 3 was mostly adrenaline

Gobert already proving he's a difference maker - I know we're only playing OKC, but these are the games we should be dominating and it's good to see it happening.

Looks like a 10-man rotation, with Rivers/Naz not making the cut.
