Re: Game 18 | UTA @ MIN
I'm putting this game in the win column. 14-4 is amazing. On pace for 64 wins.

Love the aggressiveness tonight.
I am going to hold off the "I told you so" to all you non-believers until mid-season. Also, we finally go a team that allow Gobert to play free safety and he is living up to it. Regression to the mean. Ben Wallace was never this good
Rudy Gobert has also never played with this many good defenders before. Not even close.
Not a weak link in the rotation, and 2 maybe 3 all-defense caliber teammates.

Can we hold them under 90?

Gobert is a damn menace. What a difference a year makes.

Coming into this season us Rudy supporters were being mocked and ridiculed. We can just be the bigger men TimberKat.

Stats like this are kinda painful, we are talking about a dude who played less than three full seasons in Minnesota being in the top five highest assist getters in franchise history.

Remember Cory Brewer after every interview he would say "GO Wolves"!
The night he scored 50 was so amazing.
Didn't he play here on 3 occasions?

NAW is just doing everything tonight. Keeping rebounds alive, picking pockets, shutting down pick and rolls, knocking down 3's.
He must have 5 buckets tonight on hustle alone.

Sloppy finish but oh well, another team under 100. Defensive rating improvement engaged!

I think we found our identity. Thib would be envy to have this team.
If Gobert play Kessler for a game of 21. We would see 54 blocks before they score 5 points.

Re: Game 18 | UTA @ MIN
Not including the sloppy finish, KAT is playing at such a high level right now. And watching Gobert is amazing, he is the best defensive player I’ve ever seen. Completely changes the game.
If we could find a really good backup PG that can shoot (we can’t have another poor shooter), I think we might actually be able to take the West come playoff time.

Good win. Rough start but finally we find our rythm in the fourth. Ball was moving well tonight and all players contribute. Bench was bad tonight but wasn't needed. A bit worry by Slomo, something wrong for sure.

KAT sometimes drives recklessly. He often drives very well. I like him shooting 3s and driving to the basket.
