So…
Game tonight?

Let do it!

jmac sr. - out - groin
DLo - out - because DLo

[wolves_89]

As usual the team is getting absolutely destroyed on the glass.

[jpatrick]

Yup. Without a real PF, I fear the glass will be what wrecks our season. Neither McDaniels or Prince can play major minutes there.

Edwards has low key been horrible from the outside this preseason.

[wolves_89]

Edwards needs to stop taking long 2s and contested 3s. Hopefully when the regular games start he switches to drive mode rather than settling for jumpers. So far he's scored 2 pts on 5 jump shots and 9 points on drives (4 fga).

That last minute was a mess

Nowell is not ready for prime time yet

[Calinks]

So far Pre-season guys who have looked good.

Naz
Dlo
KAT
Prince
Vanod

Guys who have looked bad.

Ant
Beasley
Layman

Rebounding is a major concern, going to need to do some work over this next week before the season starts.

[m2002brian]

Cant shoot a 3 , cant stop a 3.
Not a good recipe for success.

[Calinks]

Early Balmaro minutes.

[m2002brian]

Not sure what it is with this court. Seeing a lot of slipping and sloppy ball handling.

Probably some Kyrie pre-game ritual where he greases the court or something.

[wolves_89]

So far this game has been all about shooting 3s. The Nets are ridiculously hot and the Wolves are ice cold.

[Rookie-Mistake]

Ants 3 point shooting this pre season has me worried.

[wolves_89]

Looking at the roster I thought this would be a very good 3pt shooting team, unfortunately they've been surprisingly terrible so far this pre-season.

[winforlose]

When KAT is off the floor Ant is not picking up the slack. Reminds me of the old Wiggins days. Ant is better off the attack but keeps pulling up and missing. This is very clearly KAT’s team, then Dlo, then maybe Ant or if he is on fire Beasley.

I find it funny that our comebacks are based on our defense rather than our offense. Takeaways followed by transition buckets. This game is still winnable, but with KAT in foul trouble Ant, MCD, and Beverly need to come to the party and Beasley needs to stay hot.

[wolves_89]

Hopefully 2 out Russell/Beverley/McLaughlin are available every night. At this point neither Nowell or Bolmaro look capable of running a half court offense.

[Calinks]

I like Prince quite a bit. Far cry from what we usually saw from Layman, Juancho.

[Paradise]

I like Prince quite a bit. Far cry from what we usually saw from Layman, Juancho.

Yeah, he was a casualty to the Harden trade but he was a really perfect fit before the trade.

Crazy how D’Lo and Prince are back on the same team.

[Calinks]

Lets see if our depth can save us again.

[winforlose]

Lets see if our depth can save us again.

When KAT sits the deficit balloons. There is a political joke in their somewhere but I am too depressed by our perimeter defense to care.
