How did Ant shot spill out?

Have to do a better job stopping Morant drives. He got loose a couple times at the end of the 1st half and continued getting inside with ease here in the 2nd.

I don't like how the 3rd qtr is going. Also, at some point, Randle need to hit a open 3.

Wolves are not generally a high BBIQ team, but when it's REALLY noticeable is when one player makes a shot who was struggling all game and then the next possession you have him wide open again and you force something dumb instead.

Mike hits a 3 finally and then the next two possessions are:

1)Ant, Mike and Randle 3-1 in transition and Ant instead of passing to a wide open Conley in the corner goes to Randle inside who tries to go to Mike and it's deflected. Just go to Mike in the corner and then crash the OReb with Randle, you're 2-on-1 inside Ant

2) Then again Mike open in the corner and Ant takes a long floater

NAW is not only bad offensively but he also foul too much on defense.

And ppl were worried about Kat. DDV is considered the "main" reason for the trade. Hope he's not out too long.

Clarke with 3 OREB in the last 4 mins of the 3rd alone. Somebody locate and box out.

Did end the Qtr well. That last Kennard shot was totally unnecessary. So many little things, should had been up by 10 to start the 4th.

Again, why is Ant throwing it into a crowd in the paint when Dillingham literally came to the line and is clapping for the ball?

Too much Ant in that 3rd IMO. He passed up 4-5 wide open teammates in corners or on the wing to drive into a crowd. I love when he's aggressive with his drives but have to spray it out sometimes too man

NAW is still playing. Finch is clueless

Someone who makes $10 million missing games is slightly different than someone making $50 million missing games.

Karl-Anthony Towns has played 130 of the last 207 games (including today), 62.8% of games
Donte DiVincenzo has played 193 of the last 207 games (including today), 93.2% of games

They’re making 1 footer and 2 foot shots. Get some defense in there.

Wow, Dillingham is showing me something today. He's not damaging defensively against THIS team is a really good sign. And then offensively he knows when the team needs him to make a smart aggressive play. In the first half he hit a big pull up 3 when MEM was making a run and then in the 2nd here as well a big 3 and now that really aggressive drive when it was a 1pt game.

Rondo taught him well

It's the size/strength combo that will usually kill him until he gets bigger. He's basically the same size as Morant, he can hold his own.

Why the **** would you sub out Rob and not NAW? Wtf is this?? Coaching malpractice

m2002brian · Post #38 » by **m2002brian** » Mon Jan 20, 2025 9:48 pm

Randle 0-7 3pta

LOL

Can we win a close game for once? NAW and JMcD need to step up to stop JA.

Jaden has 11pt 11rb and only 2 fouls but is a -11. What lineups has he been playing with??
