Jokic just hits guys in rhythm so well, easy catch/shoot

seems like Wolves are always catching passes at their ankles or out of position, and have to regather themselves, allow D to recover

so much of the NBA game now is drive and kick, and Edwards is the only Wolves guard/wing who can generate that

Russell is an excellent shooter and is crafty, but doesn't attack the rim at all

Beverly, Beasley, McDaniels don't have that game

Hope McDaniels turns it on when the season starts cause we may end up begging Philly will want him if he keeps this up lol. Bleh 1st quarter from the squad.

I'm really not a fan of having all bench players on the floor. Without one of KAT/DLO/Ant there is nobody who can create offense. There needs to be at least one guy on the floor who can get the defense to shift and create opportunities.

Wolves 0-9 on 3's. As bad a start as possible. Ant pulled early for disappearing. McD and Vando struggling. It's ok. We'll get a look at how they deal with adversity.

Only down by 7. Amazing. Seems like 25.

Add in the 6 TOs and being down only 7 is a lot closer than they should be.

ANT alone may make me buy NBA League Pass for the first time this season.

ANT seems to be don't-get-hurt-in-preseason mode
even when he drives he's looking to kick it out rather than bulldozing to the rim like he probably will in regular season
