GAME 22: Wolves @ Golden State Doves

[Loaf_of_bread]

I must say 29-18 4th qtr so far has been impressive. Good teams finish strong. Maybe we're onto to something?

Not yet, the doves are not good. They played worse than Randle did. We have some tough games coming up.

At least the season isn't over, but thinking we are any good is an overstatement. We still suck.

Not a Randle fan, but I liked what I heard from him when ESPN had him miked up. He was very happy for Ant when his shots went in, and when he was going to the bench, he praised the defense, and said “that’s how we’re going to win this game.”

Randle had good and bad moments tonight, but from what he said, he’s starting to get on board with our culture. Winning helps.

His stats for 24 mins is not bad. Maybe this will be the rotation going forward with Naz finishing instead.

You must have not watched the game.

Has there ever been a time we beat LA teams 4x in a row? And on top of that...by damn near 20 pts a game? Can't complain too much.

So I am torn. On the one hand I really like winning, and I know how badly we need these wins to course correct after a very poor start. But, we keep catching teams on the back end of a back to back, and missing players. Tonight Standrew was there hot hand and he went at out at the half. It’s hard to know where we stand because the team keeps winning games that they have an overwhelming advantage in. Thankfully Sunday should be a little more illuminating. Although if Steph, Kuminga, Podz, Dray, and Kerr all got the stomach flu, I guess that would be OK to

We are back. It's not all perfect but when the defense is here, the rest will go. Randle still not consistent in defense but he try so i appreciate it. Ball movement is much better, we find Rudy in better spot. I also appreciate the way ANT play, much more involving others. Still not overconfident but we can make a run. As some of you say, Sunday will be more challenging. i doubt GSW want to lose 2 in a row, they will be more fresh and put more physicality this time.

Aaaaarrrrroooooooo!!!!!!!!! Wolves back? Wolves back! Loved how they clamped down on the 4th and sucked the life out of the Warriors. And another opponent held to less than a 100!

Honestly if we hadn’t emptied the bench I think we may have held to between 80 and 85.

I think the lull in the schedule allowed time for practicing together, which helped team chemistry.

My MVP for the game:

Ol' Man Ingles



Look at him: beer in his hand, his favorite cap and white t-shirt to watch downloaded TV Shows on Sunday.
Comfortably sprawled out over a first-row seat of an NBA game.
Zero worries in this world. No pressure.

The happiest man on Earth.
When I grow up I wanna be like him.

Had he lighted a cigarette I'd vote him for Hall of Fame but none of his fault.
I realize smoke-free regulations at USA is pretty severe.

The last 4 games?

To be fair, the first win was by 1 point and the 4th win was to a team not anywhere near LA…

Sorry...meant CA...and an average of win by like 18 points.

We are back definitely, Defense is back and as a team we play much better. We are 12-10 ( 0-4 without Mike...) and we keep improving. There will be some nights out for sure but overall, i am pretty confident . Let's wait also the February trade to see if TC make some moves or not.

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Jaden has been huge last 4 games in defense. When he guard at this level, then team look really different. Nice to see after a struggling start.

MIN just passed LAC and is now #5 in DRtg. A good game tonight, and they’ll pass GSW for #4.
