Ant has to get the turnovers under control. Counting tonight he's had 45 turnovers in his last 10 games (and still has a half of basketball to play).

They can't figure out how to play help - rotation defense. This is f*ing dumb team.

Jaylen Clark is nice

Clark is already looked better than Minott.

Just stop the point Ant experiment. I don't care what he said, he has no interest to pass the ball. Can't make the simple play and think two steps ahead.

Randle 's bully ball actually worked in 2nd qtr and really this is the team that you should do that. Suns are weak and small, and don't want to get injured.

enough of conley already.

Conley should only play against 2nd team and there is no shame on that at his age.

They need to play Clark more and drop Minott. I don't know it's him not learning or coaching staff issue.

Sick of corrupted Refs....or just plain stupid. don't know.

I really don't get that Finch ejection. That 2nd T makes no sense. Who is the ref that the call?

Jaylen Clark needs to load up the three, if he's left that wide open.

I actually met Jaylen Clark's parents when I went to a Timberwolves game in Los Angeles. Cool people, glad to see him get some run. I think he has earned more minutes, moving forward.

If he can shoot the open 3, he will have a career. Love his defensive energy so far

Julius Randle is so good at finding three point shooters on drives.

TimberKat · Post #39 » by **TimberKat** » Thu Jan 30, 2025 4:02 am

Wolves up 8. 88 to 80. Need one more run.

Great defensive effort right now. Happy for NAW too. He is big tonight. Rob really getting better in defense too.
