Game 59 Grizzlies at Wolves 2/28/24 41-17

[winforlose]

It was not a fun game
In point of fact, it was ugly as sin
but as a poster here says
a win is a win.

It is a back to back. Also Karl looks like he hasn’t played in days (because he didn’t.) Other than that, I will take the win. 42-17, first sweep of Memphis since 1999-2000 season. 25 games over .500.

BTW, #1 team in the west.

Good teams get it done in the 4th qtr when they have to. Maybe we're learning that. Its so great to see.

The bench group of Naz, NAW, and Monte have been huge for the Wolves since the all-star break.

AAAAARRRRRRROOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Another 3 game winning streak, currently at 3-1 on the 7 game homestand. They should take care of the Kings on the next match to really solidify themselves at the top of the West

It really is a great song and it's the perfect theme song for this years Wolves.

Minus the first 4 minutes, we out score them by 23 points.
Maybe spotting them a lead was the challenge they needed due to Memphis’ lack of talent.

Great win. We did not play well but we have gap regarding tanking team. But still funny how we get perfectly focus against good teams and sometimes how we loose it when too easy. That's why i;m not too worry about schedule. I'm sure we will be here 100% when we play Sac or Clippers.

Jaren Jackson Jr. was getting essentially whatever he wanted heading into halftime. It led Anthony Edwards to beg for the matchup late in the game to try and stop a player that was taking it to the Wolves in every way.

It ended up being successful, to say the least.

“[Ant] took the Jackson matchup and basically shut the water off,” Minnesota Head Coach Chris Finch said afterward.

Jackson’s 19 points at halftime came from an abundance of space on the floor. He had room to operate at the elbows and use his speed to get to the rim, and closeouts were not happening on the part of the Wolves. He found himself getting Gobert in tough spots, and his touch around the rim seemed to be flawless.

Edwards ended up taking much of it away. He played Jackson physically and cut down the amount of space in front of him. It was enough for Finch to mention after the game that Ant is the most physical on-ball defender the Wolves have at their disposal for late-game situations like Wednesday presented; and it helped them on the other end as well.

I listened to Finch at the end of the game. The reporter was trying to get Finch to call Ant his best on ball defender which of course would have been slighting McDaniels. Finch didn't fall for it.

Basketball is very much a rhythm game. JJJ is a very streaky player. You put a different guy on him, push a little, foul when he isn't expected, call a timeout, etc. Just break the rhythm, often time will slow down the player and we also see how bad JJJ shot the 3s later in the game.

You literally just go to YouTube, copy the url of the video playing and paste it here. You don;t even have to click on the "youtube" tag or anything. Just copy/paste.

Maybe the problem is I use the YouTube mobile app. I hit share to copy the URL. Maybe if I put it in chrome first?
