The Lakers are guarding Randle with Reeves and DLO, if he can't score on those guys he probably shouldn't be on the court.

Ant without KAT isn’t hero mode, it’s Herozilla.


I like Ant but it really is nasty. We’re also too small. You can’t afford to not be aggressive if you’re smaller.

Give it up to AD he destroyed us tonight. We got back close but he just dominated at the end.

Geez Randle is terrible tonight. He hasn’t boxed out anyone. Hasn’t moved his feet on defense. He has made a couple of passes, but he hasn’t been good on the offensive end either. Ant and Gobert played well. Everyone else not so much. Only game 1.

The ball hogging sucks to see from Anthony Edwards. Even when it “works”, it destroys the flow of the offense for everyone else on the team.

I would’ve pulled ant earlier. Lost trust in his guys tonight already. Someone said it earlier, no feel for the game.

Have him watch the Phoenix series again. Prob the best version of him.

Terrible opening game for Minnesota. Randle and Conley were both awful, McDaniels was in foul trouble all night, and the effort level was lacking for much of the night.

One game. No big deal. We will be a VERY good team this year. I have no doubt.

Not too fussed about the loss tbh...I was expecting slow start to the season anyways. Turnovers in first half killed the team & Conley also had a bad game, with some uncharacteristic sloppy passes...and I think its gonna take quite some time for the team to figure out things offensively.

Chemistry is always an underrated thing for a team. Randle didn't play in preseason and it showed today.

Should have played the young guns. Not one minute out of Minott, Shannon Jr. Garza, Dillingham. Unreal IMO.

"Adelman But we've always knew this. I was surprised that people were so hyped about RD because I knew he wouldn't get playing time.
