So Rudy has a sore back, missing 4 rotation players, 3 starters, and Mike. God we need the ASB.

Surprised the board is so quiet for this one. We are doing a good job treading water, but shooting 2-9 from deep is… problematic.

Did not see that coming.

Great start. Defense effort is great. Youngs guys really play well.

Especially when SGA fouled Dilly to get them.

TSJ is trying to prove that he belongs in the rotation. If he keeps playing like this, I would have a hard time arguing the point, if I were Finch.

He belongs for sure. Loved him since draft night. His body reminds me of Ant and he can swing 2-3.

He absolutely does. Nothing he’s doing is unrepeatable.
He makes fast decisions, attacks smartly, is aggressive (but under control) on defense and he boxes out every time a shot goes up.

Re: Thunder at Wolves (mercy rule in play?)
This is what a season like this is about. Yeah the wins haven't been there, but the development clearly is.
This is how the roster will sustain itself through cap hell. If youngsters can carve out roles for themselves, allowing other guys to be moved as assets to clean up the cap sheet and fill other needs.

I love how physical Terrence Shannon Jr. plays.

People like me would respond by saying we should have been 11 deep on the rotation with minutes for guys like TSJ and Dilly early. Then they would have more experience by this point, and we would have had a lot more information at the trade deadline. I get why Finch did not want to go 11 deep, but I dislike going less than 9.5 before the injuries.

Not just shot making but getting to the line. Also on defense forcing the guys he guards into tougher shots.

SGA gets some WILD calls when drive and kicking.

Naz is having himself a night. Ant is showing that he cannot handle it. He keeps no pass shooting instead of feeding Naz. Hopefully Ant starts hitting something so he doesn’t actively harm us.

Josh Minott comes in for one possession, immediately blows a defensive coverage and gives up an open three.
Dude is garbage at defense, sorry folks.

Not sure if intentional, but nice to see us not look for ANT for the last possession of the 2nd quarter

Re: Thunder at Wolves (mercy rule in play?)
Nice to be in front shooting 20% at 3 and ANT awful. Others guys really play well. Hope ANT play better in second. Go Wolves.
