Love the attack! Don’t settle for a jump shot.

Three of our starters played like complete ass and wolves still won on the road. I’ll take it.

wow, in and out
good effort by Naz and Ant contesting it

pretty rare for Wolves to win when Conley doesn't have it

Gobert has to get annoyed with two shots, they just don't look for him when he rolls to the rim

Great win. That’s a very good team. And at their place. Felt like we moved the ball a little better in the second half. Ant still has to learn when to go hero ball vs be an initiator or ball mover. It’s not quite there yet.

Watching it live, I thought that last shot was going down. Thankfully it didn’t.

Conley, DiVincenzo, and McDaniels have combined to start the season 5-33 on 3s on mostly open looks.

Way more worried about Conley and McDaniels than DDV. I think he’s still trying to figure out his spots in this offense. Conley looks old and McDaniels is just not a good offensive player.

Randle with a really good game. The thing I was most happy about was his defensive improvement and the work he put in on that end.

Conley is short on every shot, hitting front of rim, 3s, floaters, everything
usually happens when legs are getting tired
not encouraging early in season

I'm probably most worried about Conley, that's two games in a row he's looked old and ineffective.

Congrats Wolfies

Really quality and gutsy win against a very strong team at their court with some damn annoying home cooking officiating.

Was so happy for Randle atoning for his debut in Wolves colours, he has a lot of heart that man.

Ant-Man willed Sota to Victory. He is an true alpha and leader.

I think 10 3-point attempts a game is a better target for Ant than 15. At 15 he's just passing up too many good drive opportunities.

1. I figured it out. Someone did some kind of dark magic and made NAW and DDV switch shooting abilities.

2. Things go better when we play defense. Who knew?

3. 8 man rotation seems to be Finch’s preference.

4. Thank God for Randle going on a heater.

5. The majority of our shots are high degree of difficulty. That needs to improve.

Not worried about Jaden he always starts slow, his haters come out then he gets going and shuts up his haters close to post season. it’s a very annoying yearly occurrence at this point.
