Isn't it a guarantee that once a player signs a new contract, their level of play decreases by 50%.

We should just keep signing TJ to 10 day contracts only to keep him focus.

Having 4 back-to-backs in a couple of weeks is not great for a 36 year old guy.

What a roller coaster this game is. Up 9 to down 6 to up 7.

You know what it is. When Gobert goes out, I feel like we don't have anyone guarding the middle. Don't we usually sub a player in for him?

No when Rudy goes out for a rest we just play one short.... Or does it just seem like that? :crazy:

Warren is impressing me. We are winning the non Ant minutes. Naz is getting going. I wish Jaden was more aggressive on offense, but at least we are taking what the defense gives us this quarter.

Three plays in a row to Gobert with nothing to show for it. He wasn't even close to converting any of his chances.

Sloppy turnover, refuses to cover Garland from deep, airballs a layup, then splits a pair of free throws. Need better from Rudy.

Garland lighting us up. Ant with 4 first half TOs after 0 in the last game.

I am sorry, but that pass to Gobert should be Gobert’s turnover. It hit him in his hands.

Players who can consistently hit shots in the 5-12 ft range are a problem for the Wolves defense.

I know what we need to do in the second half. We need Jaden to unleash the fro.

Garland getting whatever he wants against Jaden, he doesn't seem able to stay with the small, quick guards as well as he could previous years

Give up back to back 3s to finish the half. Not good. Still a close game.

Cannot only attempt 9 3s in a half. Worse, shooting 2 for 9. Cleveland has 4 times our makes and more than double our takes at 8 of 19. Maybe if we play defense they will stop making open 3s.

The starters look exhausted. They aren't able to move their feet on defense and they have no legs on their jump shots.
