Already back to a tie. You should be happy with Edwards. He's only taken 1 shot so far, but just missed one while I was typing this.

Naz Hot hand. Keep getting it to him. Until he misses how many W4L? I need to learn more about this hot hand thing.

Those bounce passes to Rudy end up being a turnover at decent rate

Yeah from an efficiency aspect we really should not be doing them.

Ant is 4-5 but no threes. Naz is 2-2 both threes. Which player is the hotter hand. Honestly I'd like to know how you see this.

Edit: Ant just made a 3 and is 5-6. He's probably the hot hand.

Cool to see Ant go over to Taurean Prince after he made that miracle three. Friends.

Good first. AD is really a beast. HE is the one who can get the DPOY if they don't give it to Rudy.

Our players hesitate way too much while getting some of these open 3 pt opportunities...just shoot the damn ball

like how quickly Wolves are getting into offense, no one pounding the rock aimlessly

defense not getting matched up very well, some cross matchups, but not too bad, Lakers have hit some tough shots

Somehow I feel like there is no urgency on the Wolves side. I feel like we are going to win. However, if we keep let the Lakers hang around, they may bite us in the butt.

Seeing KAT go to the line makes me happy. I expect it the number of FTs attempted and the number made to be the same thing.

Man Gobert is so stupid on offense at times...that was such a great transition opportunity and instead he tries to do too much rather than just passing the ball. We can easily limit so many turnovers on offense if Gobert just keeps things simple on offensive end

You are correct. We had several chances to build the lead to double digits. Rudy was a little out of control on that coast to coast drive, but I do believe he was fouled.
