Pretty decent start, a couple uncharacteristic fumbles by Conley. I really like the ball movement, so far.

Conley needs to cut down the turnovers. His biggest advantage over DLO was the hope that he would eliminate the idiotic turnovers. Not a great start in that regard.

feel like we might need few more games to sync offensively but defensively, you can already notice notable differences between how Conley navigates through screens vs how DLo used to

Naz Reid is getting cooked on the recover, and nobody is helping him.

I'm really not a fan of the small lineup with McLauglin/Rivers/Nowell/Prince.

Literally his first game with the team with no practice

His turnovers had nothing to do with familiarity, they were flat out mental mistakes.

I missed the first few minutes. What was he saying?

Nothing crazy, he just seemed overly excited about Conley replacing DLO at the start of the broadcast.

Hey! Conley looks good just standing around out there. We haven't played even 1 qtr of ball yet.

In no time you will all revere Conley. We have a chance to play for it all with a guy like him.

Turnovers killing the Wolves. Turning it over 7 times in a quarter is not going to get it done.

Old Man Conley should be wiser than that :D

Exactly.

Better to take the time to get a quality shot than have two questionable shots.

I don't know why, but ever since McLaughlin came back Nowell has been on fire.

I think Wolves are playing a little too fast and get out of control. Does basketball keep time of possession counts? Make your opponents spend more time on defense.

It's time to take Rivers out of the Rotation. He gives nothing on offense and his while he tries hard on defense he just isn't that great.

Ant hasn't been able to finish through contact and as usual he's getting no calls.
