Game 76: Minnesota @ Sacramento

Post #41 » by **Calinks** » Tue Mar 28, 2023 4:30 am

For once we didn't drag a game out to every shot being tragic or a triumph. For once we put a team away with some level of comfort. For once we executed and looked like the poise veteran team down the stretch while the other team kept botching. For once we got a damn 4 game win streak while so many of our peers are struggling.

We knocked of a hot team, ruined their day, and helped secure our position. We did this with no KAT. No Price. Ant in a funk.
For once I feel like we got the team we were promised this summer.

The only thing he did right this past offseason.

We've never seen the maturity of our team like we're seeing right now.

The leadership of Mike Conley and Kyle Anderson is really something.

Dlo for Conley ad 3 2nds is the steal of the century for our team.

A win tonight, in SAC, on a night they were excited to clinch, could give us a psychological advantage if we meet in the playoffs.

Good vets make a MASSIVE difference for a teams IQ. Running out there with a bunch of young players is not whats up.

This whole Hack a Gobert thing is irritating.

We’re only a half game behind the Clippers for 5th. I could see them drop behind us.

(Maybe not tonight, but by the end of the season)

Honestly, this game tonight legitimately may have changed how we play moving forward. This was arguably the most amazing win I've seen in a long time. If we can make this consistent? We'd atleast be a perennial no questions playoff team.

Amazing back to back road wins Vs western playoff teams

Two amazing wins, I didn't think the Wolves would even get one on this back to back...can't believe Phoenix with KD is up next, this is the road trip from hell

but AROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

We have put some serious heat on the teams 5-10. They all have to hate our guts right now, they can't afford to drop any games. This give us some tiny bit of breathing room. We can actually afford to drop a couple of games. We got to be close to clinching a play in berth. Maybe another 2 wins.

Aroooo! Kings outside shots were not falling tonight but we played through a really bad whistle (they also missed a Gobert travel on that Ant 3).
Credit to Gobert for a strong 2nd half after Sabonis kicked his butt up and down the court in the 2nd quarter.
Good thing we had a big enough lead, you can't go 2-6 from the line in the last 45 seconds.

Naz just keeps gaining levels hope we can re-sign him. Naz and Jaden each with a nasty dunk over Sabonis, Kings interior D is their achilles heel.

Also a nice contribution from Nowell tonight. NAW really struggling with his offense.

Impressive win. Kings are tough. Our D is starting to be legit. Conley and SloMo are huge. Don’t want to get too excited but seeing a lot of good signs lately.

And shout out to Naz Reid! Seems like he’s just been making the shot we need when we need it.

I was happy with the “DLo for Conley plus” trade when it happened, but I have to admit, I did not think Conley would be THIS good, or have this great an effect on the whole team. I love the reduction in turnovers too!
