That is how you pass. Something Ant needs to learn

Naw, Rudy, and Ant have been fantastic. Towns has been solid after that shaky start. Need some heroics to counter Jokic and Murray who has been a one-man flame thrower all series.

Passing to Rudy 1 ft from the basket is good, passing to Rudy 8-10 ft from the basket is bad. It seems like such a simple concept.

There you go. Lob to Rudy at the basket. That's what he can do. That's it!

If I knew Rudy was this bad an offensive player I never would have done the trade.

I'd move Rudy this offseason while his value is still relatively high. Admit the mistake and move on.

If we have Jaden, we kick their ass. He could slow down Murray smh

Denver has thrown the first big punch in the 4th. Do we have a response?

The inability of the Wolves to hit wide open 3s has been beyond frustrating.

So many steals or transition buckets missed. We just can’t hit on all cylinders,

A 5 point lead for Denver in Denver feels like 10 to me.

Bad game for Conley. That turnover was killer plus his jumper has been off.

His value isn’t high. I don’t think he’s as bad as he’s looked in a system that didn’t fit him, but we haven’t helped the “play him off the court” narrative.

Release the secret weapon (the lawnmower, Josh Minott).

Wolves need to run off ball action to get Jokic on Kat then have him set the screen. They’re doubling Ant off Rudy knowing he won’t pass to him
