Good thing we got rid of Prince


Even though I liked Prince, he was still hot and cold as well. It’s seems like guys are hesitant to let it fly since the actual season started. Hopefully it gets better


Good Riddance. Bonus to have his superlow BBIQ and lack of any physicality or rebounding on the Lakers.

It's game 2, Brown will hit shots eventually, and Jaden will be back soon so he might be out of the rotation anyway.

Naz Reid is such a great weapon to have off our bench, really hard for teams to match up with.


Naz is earning his money tonight. He is so important off the bench for us. Man, his offensive game looks good!

Rudy absolutely walled Bam on that last possession. Incredible.

Naz give us the game tonight. With him and Slomo from the bench, we have a good one. Hope Milton, NAW and JML can contribute as well.

We finally find some good ball movement. Thanks to Ant and Mike.

Loved that last Naz play. He knows that the coaching staff is encouraging the team to pass, especially after the TOR game.

After scoring the last six, he wanted to pass, but MIA left him wide open, so he forced himself .. to shoot that three! LOL!

The team looks so much better when Rudy Gobert is on the court.

Does anyone still want to trade Naz?

And no, this is not a two big lineup.

It would be politics if Kat somehow returns from the game

We’re going to be a tough team to beat this season.

In the past, if KAT had a bad game, MIN wasn’t going to win. Tonight, KAT, Ant (and McDaniels) all struggle, but we are so deep, Naz and Gobert still carry this team.

I like our chances this season.

Anthony Edwards’ ball-movement has been much improved, tonight.

Rudy's defense is looking so much better this year than last year, I like it.
If they can find a way to use him better on offense to maintain better spacing he can be a big plus.

We've won this game and we dominated ever since the replay. That was the turning point. I almost know for sure we don't get that call we lose.

I will say this, Rudy has played great tonight by playing within himself and not trying to be an offensive all-star. His baskets have come naturally to him by the basket like they should.

How about Reid with 25 on 10 of 14? What a difference a contribution like that makes.

Nice to see NAW, Rudy play well. Amt , Mike and Slomo does the job. We have definitly great defense , and Jaden still not back.

You know Kevin Love was talking crap about Minnesota with Jimmy because he’s covering his face from lip-readers.
