Yea not a great start. The rebounds are worrisome early, again, we are a big team but we need to show it on the floor. Last year it seemed like we had the weaknesses of a big team but few of the strengths, got to flip that.

Such a treat watching this backcourt D after 2 years of DeAngelo Russell.
and NAW doing some dirty work.

Can’t look worse, but fortunately, we have Anthony Edwards and they don’t.

good job by Rudy to keep the ball up on the finish, he usually seems to gather and brings the ball down

If Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert are clicking, other teams are cooked.

Rudy gonna get his as long as he presents himself. This team has too many options the defense has to worry about, dude will be open a ton if we move the ball. Man we will eat, we don't need to force feed him.

Gobert shouldn't be any attempt any shots outside paint...no hooks or floaters or anything. Just only dunks

Wolves struggling to grab 50-50 balls, the Raptors just want them more.

Shake should have passed to the wide open Towns to end that quarter. Really don’t like the ball-movement, to end the quarter.

The Wolves need to find somebody besides Ant/KAT who can hit a shot. NAW and the bench are a combined 0-7.
