Wolves vs Spurs

That lineup that finished the 2nd with Jaden and Rudy at the 4 and 5 with 3 ballhandlers was very interesting.
It was very effective defensively, and if Jaden continues to shoot so poorly from 3 it may be something we need to lean into more because he can be a very effective help defender when he's not asked to guard point of attack all the time.

Harrison Barnes and CP3 were great vet additions for the Spurs and cost them basically nothing but capspace.
Making a huge difference to the execution and composure of the Spurts compared to last year.

What a game from DDV. This is the guy we thought we were getting in the trade.
Super high energy all night and great decision making.
That play where he missed a 3 and then sold out sprinting down the court to break up an automatic dunk to Wemby was a game saving and momentum swinging play. He played like a winner.

We should not have won a game where Ant and Randle were both this horrible.
Stephon Castle was just atrocious in the 2nd quarter turning the ball over and ruining their offense.
4 turnovers and a -12 in just 8 minutes.
For those of us who want to see Rob, tonight we saw the pain for the other team of playing a 19 year old who just isn't ready for prime time.

The first 6 minutes of both the 1st and 3rd quarter were just horrible on both ends of the court.
Teams just hunt Julius and Mike relentlessly.
And that 3rd quarter might be the worst I've ever seen from Ant, on both ends.
Whole quarter of awful hero ball and terrible effort on defense.
On one play I saw him pass up an easy 5 footer in the middle of the lane to dribble out to the corner and chuck a 3 pointer.
When I watch tape of him this season it's like watching tape of his freshman year at Georgia.
Just no growth other than being a better 3 point shooter.

He dribbles so much trying to create an advantage that his teammates are forced to stand around and just space because they have idea how to cut or screen while he's pounding the air out of the ball.

Rudy with 11 offensive rebounds was huge, even if half of those were off his own badly missed shots.

Refs were just horrible. Spurs were just dribbling headfirst into guys in legal guarding position and falling down and getting foul calls all night long. Tonight was example 1A of the type of ticky tack officiating that slows the game down and turns fans off.

When the whistle is even I agree. When the whistle is that uneven, it is beyond ticky tack, that is a revenge game for Ant mouthing off about them in the press. It is getting silly watching how much contact other teams get away with while we are called for things that aren’t even supposed to be called anymore.

Watch the replay as was too busy to watch all on live. DDV and Rudy were great. Nice to see DDV find his shoot, it helps a lot. Go Wolves!
