Game 8 | MIN @ SAS (Back on the road)

Rough start but pulled it out. Going forward Jaden and Kat have to improve their technique and body control. They force the refs to the blow the whistle.

I believe it was the 3rd quarter, it looked like the league told the refs that it was time for the wolves to pull away. They got some very favorable calls in a short span and then the Spurs just started chucking ill advised shots. I’ll take it though.

I mean he got up and ran but I’m sure it hurts like a SOB right now.

I’d be surprised if he plays tomorrow, he went from questionable to return to OUT in like 5 min via the wolves PR Twitter

. Bright side is warriors have a game tonight, us tomorrow 2nd half of back to back then in season tourney game with us on Tuesday so 3 games in 4 nights…maybe they rest a couple key players tomorrow night. Maybe not tho as we jockey for playoff positions with them

We would have lost this game last year, even if it wasn't pretty, it's great that we finished and came back quick after we got down 10 early.

KAT played well after a bad 1st quarter, some pretty good defense and rebounding from him too.
NAW played very well, 9 pts 4 assists, great defense and 3/4 from the field and 2/2 from the line.
Jaden needs to quit fouling.

I hope Ant and Naz are okay after getting banged up.

Real lack of playmaking talent is holding SA back, they are another player away from being a playoff team.
Sochan at PG is ridiculously stupid and not good for Wemby.
Should be starting Tre Jones and playing real PG's.
We destroyed them with our zone when Tre was off the floor.

Wemby's mostly a perimeter player on offense right now, he has post moves but gets bodied very easily on both ends.
Can't deny he is very talented though.
If he can stay healthy, will be a top 20 player for a long time.

Look at his final stat line. He's going to be the best player in the league.

NAW and Shake have been much better the last couple of games, and they will be needed. Finally looking like there is actual depth. Im surprised TBJ can’t get even spit minutes for shooting. He really was a starter last year on a playoff team.

I think he has to fill out tremendously, if his body will let him…And if he does add weight will he break down easily? Scary freakish skill set for someone 7’4. Made us back out of shots we’d normally take.

Fun to watch tho, It’s like a cheat code in 2K video game lol

Last night was such a dangerous opponent…With him, on the road against a team in the middle of a losing streak…we weathered their storm they came out with and got a little complacent in the fourth as they strung some 3s together. An 18 pt lead down to 6 with 4 min to play is something we lose 100 times out of 100

I should maybe out this in teh Ant thread but I'll put it here since I just watched the replay.

I take back my comments about Ant being JR Smith. I feared that he would just be another Wiggins type. A scorer who can get hot but has low bbiq and can't figure it out unless he has less to do (Kat)

What I saw from Ant is incredibly fast growth. He's just not all talk. He seems to have learned from his mistakes and made a major step to being a real star.

I don't like Shake so far though. The defense looks bad when he's on the floor.
