Love how Jaden kept fighting after going 0-7 to start the game.

Jaden is the opposite of Kat, and he is so valuable even when his shooting stinks.

Very special. Early signs of superstar talent. He just needs time.

I would never hold them to the same standard when one makes ~10% of the cap and the other is about to be making 35% of the cap.
If making unnecessary fouls is a bad basketball move, it’s a bad basketball move, regardless of your salary.
Read what I said. I think we give Naz a pass, and you are proving my point, justifying WHY you give him a pass.
Whatever salary we have the players signed for it's spent money and nothing is going to change. I hold every wolves player to the same standard. Play as well as you can and help us win games.
But its not just "Spent money". But I' agree with Colbi, Towns along with his attitude makes for a shorter lease with peoples tolerance. Most of the time its the other way around. when a player is paid max money that an automatic slack on how they can make mistakes. I'm sure many of you remember Rick and the Caged Lion, Chris Johnson and Shved.

The big difference between KAT and Ant. Ant beeing smart enough to stay strong in the game despite 5 fouls.

KAT has to be one of the most frustrating players in NBA history

Hope KAT can finally find some consistency. Naz is knocking at the door....

Yup. It all started with the first play of the season a bounce pass to Gobert.
The game is slowing down for him.

Woke up and watched the game over breakfast. I'm still grinning from ear to ear.
Will take a while for me to process this.

Re: Game 6 Celtics and Timberwolves 11/6 7PM
It will be interested how Towns process this game mentality. I bet this will just add to his belief the Refs are out to get him. With the over turned and one, he might have a strong case, that doesn't get flip for any other star in the league. But his last foul was sooooo typical Towns. Hit a superstar on the elbow closing out a game and expect to get away with it. Add to this the way he showed up Finch when he took him out. He had two horrible turnover in the 4th and let a 6'4 Jrue Holiday D him up all game. I dont get why he has to back him down or take him to the basket. Cant he just turn face up and shot over the top ALL GAME!!!! Duncan did this for 18+ year in the league. How has Towns not figured this out in his 9 years??? Lastly this game stamped the fact it is Ant's team now. How long until Towns breaks down mentally and I wonder what is going on the behind the scenes? His post game interviews are all monotone and " I do whatever it takes to win" BS.
ANT is the King!!!

Re: Game 6 Celtics and Timberwolves 11/6 7PM
Watching the game highlights back. I completely forgot about the 1 quarter where Jaden got blocked at the rim and then Brown put Rudy on a poster. Shows how touch this team is after getting punched in the teeth and not given an F. Former Wolves team would of rolled up in the corner and got smoked by 20pts.

It’s so nice to be this strong with the starters .. and have a good bench as well!
Naz, SloMo and NAW all had 20 minutes last night, and scored 25
BOS had Hauser, Kornet and Pritchard, and scored 16

Re: Game 6 Celtics and Timberwolves 11/6 7PM
I also think Finch deserves some credit for taking Ant out when he did with five fouls, and getting him a little rest. He had sections of the end of the game where he just looked fresher than Tatum or Brown. I also think he was right on that borderline too, when he had a section late in the fourth where he looked tired, and made some ill-advised plays.
I do worry about Ant making that exuberant quote about playing aggressive because the refs don’t want to give him a sixth foul. If I’m a ref and I read that he said that publicly, I’d be more likely to ring him up.

Also let's not forget to lift up NAW. I believe the Wolves are undefeated when NAW volunteers for a technical free throw and misses.

Its not spent money when its on the books for the next 4 years! Especially considering the raise he gets starting next year.
And of course it can change - by moving him.
