WCS Game 1: Minnesota at Denver, Saturday

[wolves_89]

Ball getting sticky with Ant. Zero assists.

EDIT: I suppose he’d have some if Naz makes his shots

Tough to get assists when everyone other than Ant/KAT are 3-20 from the field (0-9 on 3s).

McDaniels 0-6, Murray 0-5. Live with that?

Naz and NAW are disasters. They need to figure this out. Ant is tired

They've been really bad but they are also trying to do too much.
They should be corner 3 point shooters and floor spacers who can attack a close out.
Instead they are trying be playmakers and stepping on their D*cks trying to do too much.

Part of that is really poor personnel decisions from the coach.
Need Monte out there when Mike sits.
Kyle flat out sucks and his extra size is not needed defensively.

McDaniels 0-6, Murray 0-5. Live with that?

To be fair didn’t a lot of Jaden’s misses come on that low post play with fouls??

[wolves_89]

Naz/NAW combined to go 1-7 with 5 TOs, that's about as bad as it's possible for them to play.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Defense is good but offense is terrible except ANT and KAT. All others players have to score or we won't get chance. Start to think that Naz may be overrated. No defense, and when 3 don't go in, he become almost unplayable. GO Wolves!

[Domejandro]

Why isn’t Monte Morris getting minutes?

[winforlose]

I am going on record saying Naz Reid should not be on the floor the rest of this game. Play Garza instead. Naz has not played well enough to even be trusted on the court.

[younggunsmn]

That was a crap first half. If I wasn't a fan of either team I'd be pretty disappointed with that performance.

This game would be over already without Ant.
He's scoring, playing lockdown defense, being patient and making the right play.
The rest of the team needs to meet him at his level in the second half.
One bright spot is that we avoided any serious foul trouble.

Gordon is trying to Bully KAT.
Instead of slapfighting on the perimeter, KAT can open some things up for himself by setting good screens and forcing Gordon into help.

We need to attack Jokic offensively in the 2nd half.
Tire his ass out.
We held him in check in the first half but he's always dangerous in the 4th quarter and crunch time.

[winforlose]

McDaniels 0-6, Murray 0-5. Live with that?

No because Murray is 0-5 with everyone guarding him. Jaden didn’t cause that. Jaden was getting fouled a lot on his shots, but that cannot excuse no points.

[TimberKat]

Naz, NAW, and JMcD needs to play better and make shots. Conley needs to unlock Gobert. D is fine but still need to double Jokic a few a more times.

[Guest84]

I think the hype of the series has gotten guys a bit over excited to start…on both sides. Half time should do some good. Karl needs to be more aggressive. Naz and Naw just need to settle down.

[jpatrick]

If it wasn’t for the bench, we’d be up. I can’t believe Naz packed that many bad plays into 7 minutes. But everyone needs to knock down more shots. If they don’t, I fear will start playing hero ball instead of moving it like he has been.

[TimberKat]

Did you hear TnT talk about that mis-call foul on Ant? That was a 4 pt turn around. When is he going to some calls?

[winforlose]

Mike needs to start scoring. You cannot have this many guys not scoring. 9 points on 3-7 for KAT is bad for him but average overall. Everyone else **** the bed and is not acceptable. Also Rudy and Jaden need to do better on the glass. We are not getting offensive rebounds, we are not creating enough live ball turnovers, and they are not winning the 50/50 balls.

[Guest84]

Nuggets make timely baskets. Wolves have to clean that up

[guest81]

Show em kat!

[Guest84]

Finally

[Movics]

I hope we don’t get this crew again

[wolves_89]

Too many bad turnovers.
