Game 48: Wolves vs Rockets

[Guest84]

If you can’t rebound, get aggressive and force turnovers. No shots, less opportunities to give up rebounds.

Ant has ascended.

[TimberKat]

The team play better without Gobert

Yes, if we could get Ant to score 40+ every game. Wolves out rebounded 56 to 30. Sengun will be MVP if he play against the Wolves every night.

Outside Ant, we have to thank Jalen Green for this win tbh...dude was so so bad. I would have so pissed if a Wolves player played a game like that

Man anyone else notice how much Grady is really cooking now. Dude has a deep bag of talent and fun phrases lol!

Dude has really hit his stride. I like him. He and J Pete work really well together.

I love the deep voice, it lowers the tension level, which is important with such a frustrating team to watch.
He gets the right amount of excited, Benz got a little too chatty at times.

[younggunsmn]

Thankfully Nate Knight stepped up and offered a little defensive resistance.
Sengun and Eason cooked us on the boards all night.

Ant turned this game around, there should no longer be any question who our franchise player is.
Russell was good and didn't do anything all game that made me mad, which is a nice change.

This team can't afford to wait until the middle of the 3rd quarter to start playing defense though.
It will result in an L most nights.

Yeah, he sucks. I don't know if it's the roster construction holding him back or it's all him but I'm getting some of the same vibes about this Rockets team that I used to get with a few of our post KG rebuilds.

We also just need to thank their whole team. 57% from the FT line is something we have no control over.

It was so fun watching Ant react after the game when they showed his three dunks!

His happiness makes me happy!

[shrink]

Before this game, with Towns out, I would have said that we can’t win a game if Prince or SloMo don’t play well, running the team.

Tonight we saw Ant truly run the show. Remember how little energy we had to start this game? Ant must have, and decided to give the team and the fans that first dunk. We were missing open shots, we were getting killed on the boards, but Ant’s enthusiasm turned the team around, particularly inserting defensive energy.

[Dalvin]

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Ant's joy is really infectious and he always credits teammates who steps up, definitely a good leader! Those dunks, damn!

I trust Ant more than KAT. No offense to him

There was a stat somewhere, I think Reddit, that said that Ant was the first wolf since KG to put up a 40pt game with 3 blocks and 3 steals.

And it made me legitimately wonder...when's the last time we had a star that could put up something like that? At least that we drafted, I get Butler probably did. But the likes of Love, Towns, Wiggins, LaVine? How long since we've drafted an actual 2 way player?

I think everyone does.

Wiggins should have been that player. One who could give us 10rbs, 2+ stl, 2+ bloks. I was always wondering why an athletic freak such as Wiggins could not get a pair rebound more, one steal more and one block more just by taking care about these small things.

[shrink]

Yeah, I think Wiggins believed defense was just waiting around to get back to offense, and offense was just waiting around to get home and cash your check.

[jscott]

Yeah, I think Wiggins believed defense was just waiting around to get back to offense, and offense was just waiting around to get home and cash your check.

Yeah that part of his game sure was offensive.

I mean part of it is that Wiggins would lead the league in contests. Hard to get a rebound when you're contesting shots on the perimeter.
