The sample size is large enough that we need a drastic fundamental change. Continuing as we are will get us no where.

Saying it right now I think Dante is bad on purpose to try to get himself traded.

KAT made me cringe with mistakes but his game was way more fun to watch, its a tough transition.

Edwards defense has taken a step back. Dante is teetering on unplayable, team just doesn’t fit.

I feel like they’re the only team that drives INTO traffic as opposed to the open area. This is feeling like the Jimmy era.

Dillingham with the first clearly positive stint of his career.

Dagger. Too bad, they played a bad game overall but Cs were not at their best either so they had a chance, but Ant missed two 3s very short.

Rudy best player on the floor for Wolves

It looks like Donte is playing 3&D role and our coaching staff cant help him and provide with more catch and shoot opportunities. But until he is playing 3&D his potential as shooter is wasted

I like this version of McDaniels that is just dunking everything. More please!

You can't have the guy who is 2/16 from 3 over the past 3 games take that shot...

Just tuned in for the last minute. Too bad it didn't turn into another comeback win. It's no shame to lose a close game to the defending champion and from what I heard from Jim Pete and Michael Grady, it was a step in the right direction. Kinda wished Ant would have gone for the lay up instead of passing out to DDV but the angle to the basket wasn't the best either.

Meh, not great. Never had a feeling it'd be a close game at all after that 2nd quarter, made it a game, Ant missed some good shots, especially that last 3 to take the lead.

They have to go on a run now. Tough schedule yes but 8/10 games are vs the West teams, 3 being GSW, they have a real chance to either climb up the standings or really go to the dumps.

This tends to happen with any shooter that comes to MN. Seems like only our pick n pop bigs have been good shooters…Love, Kat, Naz. Wings not so much.

The wolves plays seem archaic compared to the rest of the league. Poor timing, poor screens, poor design, etc
