Things I want to see tonight:
- Ant playmaking and moving the ball
- Randle showing a high level of defensive effort
- Conley proving that he hasn't fallen off the age cliff
- Minott getting minutes

We are playing against a high octane offense with incredible home court advantage. Let's see if the boys become men by defending tonight.

You're harsh. For me 78-4 will still be acceptable :). Go Wolves!

Agreed! Several times Mike and ANT give him the ball and it takes him ages to do something.. hope with time he getting better but chemistry is not good right now.

It took Finch a year and a half to get the offense somewhat in order after the Rudy deal. How long will this take?

It looks like they don’t know where to go with the ball. Defense is non existent. Paint is congested…real nasty right now.

Fellas, don't freak out too much too early. We looked like trash to start last season too. It will probably take some time.

Joe shouldn’t be out there without Rudy.

He should Kyle’s direct replacement

Where is Josh?

This lineup is devastatingly horrible at both shot creation and defense. You can’t have both those things lacking in a lineup.

Randle save his first with his offense. Defense is really non existent and when Naz and Randle are on the floor. We not far behind, that's the most important but lot of job to do....

There might be lineups Ingles still contributes to, but as a slow footed 3 with Randle/Reid behind him he's going to have a very tough time on defense.

So many careless turnovers, Wolves have to take care of the ball better.
