I heard SGA is out tonight.

Wolves should kill these guys tonight.

Apparently, Thunder didn’t get Adam Silver’s memo that NBA had “put teams on notice” on tanking. Putting Wembanyamna next to Holmgren would redefine the meaning of Twin Towers – “Can’t you hear, Can’t you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover”

I like the start. Not settling for too many bad 3s


Dort of course shot like 6% from 3 is now 2/3

They just look great, on both ends.

What I hope to see is consistency. I’ll feel more comfortable once the third quarter is over.

when the wolves unselfishly move the ball like this, they are a lot to handle.

The team is going to have to learn to play together. Move the ball, move on defense, put a body on the opponent and box out. All that and if Towns can keep his cool and not freak out with the refs or offensive fouls we are very dangerous.

I liked seeing Nowell point at Gobert when he scored easily on a pull up after a great Rudy screen.

I know David Locke’s idea of Gobert’s “screen assists” are joked about by the national media, but I’ve always thought that’s kind of a real thing.

Why wait for the 3rd when we can blow the lead in the second.

Looked like a miscommunication with McD on that last lob. I do like he’s being aggressive tonight. Need to stop jacking early shot clock 3s

Utah currently bodying the Pelicans up by 16. Ainge is going to be hailed a genius this week once again.

One of the things that I hope we clear up as the season progresses is that it seems like Towns, DLo and Ant seem to decide for themselves when it’s “their turn,” regardless of the situation. You can feel when Towns is going to drive, or DLo is calling his own number. Ant seems to disappear when he doesn’t think it’s Ant-time. Some of this I’ve seen from them before, and it’s probably part of their personality, but as they play more together and pass more, hopefully each will learn to take easier shots when they appear, not when they decide it’s their turn.

Crazy. They’re a team filled with disrespected (no national games) pros which some can shoot the rock.


I don’t expect them to sustain this but what a start.
