There is an assistant coach with a tablet who makes the call. He often gets it wrong.

That said. If we need to upgrade this team after this season, the guy on the outs may be McDaniels.

Tough trade. He’s young. He works super hard. He’s “on the timeline”. But KAT has transformed himself, and that, along with any and Rudy, has transformed the team.

Agree. Given how things are turning out, hope we are not too late to trade him. I was hoping he could be that 4th wheel on offense but that is not happening. Trade him for someone with more offense.

Yes, like boxing, you take some hit and counter. Hope to knock the other guy out but most of the time it ends up full ten rounds with split decision.

This team loses more dribbles trying to turn into the back down 15 feet out. It's embarrassing.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Just seems like they're dribbling way too far in front of themselves when they do that. Thank God Ant has stopped doing it. That was a slightly horrifying 3 weeks.

That Ant pass to Conley was a huge improvement. See the double team coming and pass it out right on time.

What you missed is the ESPN crew gave us **** for giving up 31 in the first quarter. So obviously the Wolves got the message and held them to 20 ;)

I know the Bucks have been struggling recently, but I'll always consider a win over them a good win. 6 point lead going into the second half. I'll be good with doubling that and winning by 12. I'll be OK with losing the second half by 5. A win is a win.

They better give us credit for holding them to 20 in the 2nd quarter. On the whole I'm good with that first half. Do it in the 2nd half and we win 114-102.

When Ant Just plays the game in front of him as it comes to him it's a true sight to behold. He's improved a ton at that this year

I really wish that we had been able to re-sign NAW to a 3 year deal, he's going to get expensive after next season.

A 6 point half-time lead is pretty good considering neither KAT or Ant has been making shots. Hopefully one or both get on track in the second half.

Rudy and KAT keeping us in this. Ant can't buy a bucket. He turns that around we win going away. If he doesn't we might lose.

Pretty putrid offensive performance, by Anthony Edwards. Just rough, he's been wide open all night.
