Game 1: Thunder at Wolves!

[Klomp]

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

Not even sure I would call it that. I'd say 9 guaranteed on most nights. Forbes is still fringe.

Called Reid out of things a long time ago, though some refused to admit it.

[Klomp]

Either Jaden or TP are at PF, another thing I was told was impossible to happen this year

[winforlose]

Our rebounding and boxing out still needs work. Even with Rudy on the floor it is an issue, but it is worse without him. We clearly have work to do on defensive schemes, but for the first game back it is okay.

Don’t like Edwards dribbling for twenty seconds. Much better when he is decisive.

I'm not a fan of Gobert posting up outside the lane. I think he's gotten the ball in that spot 3 times and has gone 0-2 plus getting stripped once.

[Folklore]

Ants perv girlfriend/grandma/momma must have left him. He hasn't looked like himself all preseason.

They’re all long boards from 23 3 pt shots. Gotta shore that up


Good half. They drained some 3s and we still wentnpoint for point

[jpatrick]

Defensive rebounding is awful. Just awful.

I like this team so much better when Russell wasn’t on the floor. Too bad we couldn’t have moved him and kept Pat Bev, Beasley, Vando, etc.

I think we need Forbes shooting but he’s just not going to be able to stay in the floor with that defense. I wouldn’t mind picking up a vet shooter/wing at the deadline. Maybe Terrance Ross or someone like that.

Wolves guards/wings are still bad at rebounding
Gobert and KA will help a lot, but Prince/ANT/Jaden/Russell/Nowell just don't have nose for the ball or physicality

Yeah, Towns needs to realize that he should just get the long boards. he already got the bag so he doesn't need to stuff his stats no matter what anymore.

[wolves_89]

I've really liked the defensive effort up to the point a shot goes up, unfortunately after that guys just stop moving and make little effort to track down long rebounds.

[Calinks]

Ok I talked about people hyping the Pelicans but they are slaughtering the Nets.

The Thunder are some sharpshooters. wow.

[Domejandro]

Michael Grady is an excellent play-by-play guy. I like how he lets Peterson do his thing.

[Folklore]

Ant being the decoy drive and kick won't work when teams realize that Ant can't finish at the rim.

I'm hating not having a way to watch live

[Domejandro]

Anthony Edwards is brutal tonight.

[Calinks]

Ant won't be great until he get more consistent. People go at Towns but Towns shows up every night, he has only disappeared in a handful of games. Ant has long stretches where he has little impact, he needs to cut those down a lot.

[wolves_89]

I'm not impressed with the team's energy coming out of the half. The Wolves have been settling for 3s on way too many possessions and when they can't hit them the lead evaporates.
