The Pelicans seem so damn flustered, we are like pit bulls out there.

This is already my favorite Timberwolves team since the KG era.

Beasley cannot drive. He just cannot.

I still remember seeing NAW in the summer league and instantly thinking he is a star, looks like he is still on track, that kid is balling. 7 boards!

Never seen a player whine more than LeBron than KAT.

Malik Beasley's inability to create off the dribble is really problematic in that kind of unit. I think he needs to play with Anthony Edwards and D'Angelo Russell more.

I love the defensive intensity but I don't think we can keep that up after the first several games. Would love to be wrong. That said if we just play average defense this season we are so much better. We produce a top 12 defense and we can be a playoff team.

If we hit 1 in 3 of these wide open 3s we’re up by 10+. We’re a better team

He really only looks really good against the Wolves though.

He needs a come-to-jesus moment where he realizes JJ Redick is the guy he should model his game after

Which is fine. He’s a good shooter. Let the others facilitate

Only a half game into his Wolves career and think Pat Bev would already Crack my top 15 favorite Wolves of all time.That half time interview was to much,lovechis swagger.

Hilarious because much of this board hated that man.

The defensive improvement really is dramatic. I don’t know if Beverly, Finch, or Elston Turner get credit, but it’s incredible.

Only real negative so far in this game is DLo and Beasley had bad halves. Need DLo especially to be more consistent. Feel like except for that five minute stretch where he hit four threes in a row last game, hasn’t been great the other forty minutes he’s played.
