None.

Also think it’s unlikely that McD & JuJu shoot as poorly from 3 as they did last year.

Hope we run into each other in the playoffs!

Peak KAT, flexing in the preseason but will be Houdini when it matters.

This has been a lot of fun for a preseason game

DD is better than Conley and will be finishing games for Minnie.

Doris Burke talks about Ant like he's her first child after 8 miscarriages. It's a little too much.

Randle better ball out because Naz is not a KAT replacement and will not get the ball enough on a team with Ant/DD/Randle to even come close.

It’s just one bad game Naz (and Jaden) are usually better than this.

Epecially once Julius is fit & on form to give the wolves more frontcourt playmaking to compensate for not having Conley out there.

As long as Randle & McDaniels don’t shoot as poorly from 3 as they did last season, I love an Ant - DDV - McD - Ju - Rudy closing lineup.

Ok I didn't say anything when the C's won by 50 last night but now they're doing the same thing with no Tatum, Brown, White, Holiday, Porzingis, Horford, Kornet or Tillman. The team is just a machine. Lonnie Walker is balling out, Jordan Walsh looks amazing, Pritchard is nuts, and they're dominating inside with Neemias Queta and some guy named Skapizza who wont even make the team. I like it.

Pretty baffled by that foul being overturned, the grabbing of the jersey with the left hand seemed pretty conclusive.

This isn't the first time I've watched the Timberwolves play.

I don't understand how Landry Shamet keeps staying in NBA rotations, I've literally seen him make a shot maybe twice in 4 years, but keep getting them checks. I'm not mad at him.

That sucks to see. Hopefully Donte can see that this gives him a bigger opportunity too. Where Bridges & OG were going to push him out of our closing lineup he can be a perfect back court partner to Ant in Minnesota.

It's pre-season against the Raps but nice to see Lonnie Walker got 20 pts now

This was a great preseason reminder to not post mid-game lmao. C's were up by 30 and only won by 4.

You're good. I've seen people say a game is over because of a 15 point lead in the first quarter. Normal to get caught up in the sauce.

Unsurprising and I totally understand it for Donte. I don't think that was the move to break up the Nova Knicks.
