First Ollie game was a lost cause… tonight will not be any different, other than I’ll be able to watch the atrocities unfold

Re: GT: Nets @ Wolves 2/24 9PM EST
It's gonna be a tough slog, that's for certain.
The schedule works in our favor, as Minnesota plays late last night. Still, they are such a smart and effective team on both sides of the ball, we're going to need a special game to beat them.
Having a healthy and assertive Cam Johnson would help a ton. We need to make them pay for their lack of defensive footspeed at the 4, because they will definitely bully us on the other end.
Can Mikal take a head to head matchup personally? Can he will himself to be better than the other team's best player? He has done so for us, and we'll need him to both guard Ant AND outscore him. Tall task, big ask.

Rudy Gobert is listed as out tonight. That might make it a little more interesting for us to watch. You got to think that the Wolves coaching staff read them the riot act on tonights trap game.

Got to like what we are seeing. Playing hard on both ends. Keep it going, one foot in front of the other

Re: GT: Nets @ Wolves 2/24 9PM EST
Why does Mikal always feel the need to take those pull up awkward 3 point attempts on a fast break?
His length alone would put him at an advantage when driving.
P.S.
I understand that he blows open layups more than anyone, but at least he can get fouled and get to the line for 2 FT's.

Not going to win too many games shooting like this but at least the effort is there

we fought and didn't make our shots . Edwards/KAT are legit stars and above everybody on our team. This looked like a 2005 game with all these missed shots, defense and iso plays.

Re: GT: Nets @ Wolves 2/24 9PM EST
The effort was there, but shots were not falling. Still compared to the last two games it’s a step in the right direction

I fell asleep watching this game. But apparently I didn’t miss much.
On another note, Cam Johnson is so unclutch.

Re: GT: Nets @ Wolves 2/24 9PM EST
The starting lineup/rotation should be this going forward.
C- Nic Claxton
PF- Dorian Finney-Smith
SF- Cam Johnson
SG- Mikal Bridges
PG- Cam Thomas
C- Day’Ron Sharpe
PF- Trendon Watford
SF- Jalen Wilson
SG- Lonnie Walker IV
PG- Dennis Schroder
I’m taking DSJ and Ben Simmons out of the rotation. In the case of Simmons I’m sure he won’t care anyway.
