Game 20 Spurs @ Wolves 12-6-23

[Nick K]

In 20 games we have held at least 8 teams under 100 points. 2-4 other games they just got over 100 in garbage time. Pretty cool.

Unheard of around these parts.

I know it’s early but could the wolves have 2-3 all stars this year if they continue this pace?

Also, I know Ant is going to get the attention nationally but could Rudy be the true MVP of the team? He’s been outstanding in my eyes so far this season…

Still have to find a way to get another pg or play maker/ball handler on the team.

This is what great teams do.

They take care of business.

Rudy is the Wolves MVP so far.
If it was all star break Rudy, KAT and Ant would all be all stars for sure. I don't think that's going to change.

[KGdaBom]

Think about it.

16-4

16 and freaking 4.

What is give for a combo guard that could really shoot it. I think we need to help the offense out with another person that can space the floor.

Rudy was fantastic. I think he’s make the all-star team over KAT right now.

Both of them should make it. Ant also.

I think we are a really good team but I can't be a true believer in us being a contender until I see t his offense take a step forward. I think it is just too hampered. We don't have enough flow and we get easily locked up. We have yet to unlock Towns. He is so talented that he can get himself going on most nights but there are times when a team can take him out with a gameplan and we have nothing to counteract that.

We don't have shooters, we don't have a lot of shot creators, I think the offense will be our big achelees heel this year. Unless I see us make a big breakthrough there I will always feel like that will stop us from really being a contender compared to the elite teams.

Chris Finch after the game talking about Mike. Paraphrasing slightly “There are no new ways to say how important Mike Conley is, he is REALLY GOD DAMN IMPORTANT.” This is the value of a true floor spacing PG

We are the elite team. Those teams that you are calling the elite teams are losing a lot of games. They aren't as good as you think they are. We are what our record says we are. We know who our opponents are and we don't let them off the hook.

Elite so far and in the regular season. Playoffs are a different beast and again, I am really concerned about the offense. I just don't see this team winning a title with our current inability to score when needed enough. If we can get a top 8ish offense I will feel a lot better.

No , we’re not going to win a title if Ant shoots 4-17 on the regular. That shouldn’t happen most games though. Hopefully he just had a little rust after a week off.

The playoffs aren't here yet. All we can do is win the games in front of us. I don't have a clue who you think the Elite teams are, but they are all losing more games than we are. We have beat most of the teams that are considered elite. If you want to crown their ass go ahead and crown their ass. They were who we thought they were and we didn't let them off the hook.

Crap game for Ant and no Jaden. Now it was the Spurs. Thing is we WON. We take care of business.

Check the box score. Crap game for everyone but Rudy and Mike. KAT shot well but only took 6 shots. Every team has those nights, and your right that the truly important take away is we won.

At this point, I think Rudy needs to start getting into the conversation for MVP talk.

He does, but he doesn't score enough. He won't be considered even though he should be.

I feel like this is why they made DPOY. Defense just will never by itself matter enough no matter how vital it is to winning. But I 100% agree there is no player in the league who is less replaceable 20 games in then Rudy.

Rudy was +31 tonight. We won by 8. That means we lost by 23 when he wasn't on the court.

Not sure what the strategy should be with Ant in the short term. He was moving pretty gingerly out there. Need to make sure this heals and isn't a problem all season.
