Followed by Rudy with a pathetic TO. Tried to be Mr Handles bringing the ball upcourt.

I finally can watch the game. NBA TV realized their mistake and fixed the blackout. Those stupid MFers made me miss the first half. Thankfully there is a replay so I can watch the first half tomorrow.

I saw about 1 minute and DDV and Rudy both need a swift kick. What is DDV doing running up court and leaving Rudy to take it up. What is Rudy doing running into traffic and trying to throw a long distance pass. He should have picked up his dribble and waited for guard help. Truly awful sequence.

25 seconds Wolves ball down 2. I want to see Dilly with the 3 for the win. Go Wolves.

Juzang has been an amazing scorer so far. He gets the tying basket. Back to Back preseason OT games. Go Wolves.

Julius, ANT and Rudy combined 11 TO...they have to improve or we will have the same issue we got last year against fast and good teams OKC Style. This is just pre-season so i'm not worry but this is something Finch talk a lot about but should deal with now.

In that mask Rocco looks like a giant lone ranger.

I think Bernard is the biggest waste of roster space on the Wolves.

We continue to be an all time terrible clutch team. :lol:

Slop ball and a predictable offense have been our Achilles heel.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team dribble into the loaded side of the defense as much as the wolves. They dribble into 2-3 defenders almost every single drive. Randle and Ant do this a lot.

At that stage, teams seems to be lacking of BBIQ at times. Mike is the smarter player here but he is old and can't carry the team. Hopefully, ANT mature fast. I got no hopes for Rudy and Randle improving their BBIQ, they are too old, we have to deal with their good pro and cons. I hope DDV to stop rushing and improve in the playmaking part. This will help. Rob need time but if he can improve too a little bit this year, i take it.
But overall for me, going to the next step mostly depend on ANT and to a lesser degree on Jaden.

Rob stopped thinking last night and was so much better. I don't think Rudy or Julius are bad BBIQ.

Just seeing him the last couple of games, I feel more confident in his shot than DDV. Knee jerk I know…

Very Knee Jerk. DDV has been one of the best volume 3 point shooters in the NBA for a while now.

When I watch DDV as a “wolf”, I never watch his shot and feel like it’s going in. Now I’m not saying Johnny is better than DDV just comparing “look” of their shots mostly. Johnny also has a quick smooth release. I can see him forcing Finch to give him time.

I like Finch, but I would love to see Carlisle coach this squad.

Considering the fact we have made two WCF and then completely got destroyed.


I like Finch, but he’s not the guy. This team took off as Ant took off, some of that is on Finch, but it’s called a players league for a reason.
