Why don't they attack Luka? Uhh because McDaniels isn't a shot creator

NO! Have you been watching this series? He's got the post moves of a junior varsity athlete.


Eh it was sarcasm. He was up against a small guy and he couldn't turn around and shoot lol. I don't even know why they gave him the ball there. It's amazing how useless he is on offense.

I keep forgetting Kyrie lost his Nike shoe deal. His shoes were one of the top sellers for Nike basketball players. Dude fumbled the bag.

The Wolves are so frustrating to try to root for. They do so many dumb things.
