Wish we can see more of this version of KAT going forward..he didn't waste much time today complaining...was also very calm on court.

Looks that’s what he kinda was saying to him because he pointed to his head

Almost certainly something regarding Karl's family.

Thunder may just beat the Lakers.

He had one moment where he and vandy were going for a rebound and I think vandy got it and kat kinda whined…so vandy mimicked his whine back to him and they both got back


This was after they screwed up a rebound when nobody was around them and the bucks got the ball back


Other then that…this was a good game for kat.

IMO KAT did a good job boxing out tonight which allowed Vando and JMac to clean up the boards. We won the rebounding battle 49 to 43.

That dog of a game against the Pels helped us win tonight.

The Wolves bearing the Bucks while only shooting 29% on 3s is impressive. I thought we'd have to shoot well to have a chance.

That's what is cool. we shot pretty poorly, especially in the second half but our defense, energy, and rebounding carried the day. That is really great. If we were on fire all game we could have won by 15+.

This is it. This is the team we want. KAT was so impressive tonight. Such a great response to our criticism. Credit where credit is due. He has some flounders tonight, but he didn’t let it control him.

That was special performance by KAT. That’s why we won

Also helps when Semi Ojeyele costed Milwaukee like 4 straight scoreless possessions with his shooting lol

First time ever in that building they lost without ever leading. The Wolves weren’t always pretty and the lead wasn’t always safe, but we kept our heads on straight and got it done.

KAT needs to shoot more. 9-13 is ultra efficient but we cannot let Karl settle for only 13 shots.

Ant had a mixed game but really let down at the end. Two big missed layups and a missed free throw that could have cost us huge. My father pointed out he is only a second year player, and he is right, but that was really bad timing to melt down.

Vando was so aggressive with boards he was actually pissing off KAT. Two or three times Vando fought KAT for boards. I love the hustle but I wish Vando was a little more complete a player. If he could just hit some range of outside shot (not even 3s but just from anywhere in the midrange,) it would be sooo much easier to run him end of game.

Love the start for Dlo. It’s a shame he was so awful from outside the arc, but his long twos were a big part of building that lead.

Shoutout to Beasley who took less shots and hit more. Not quite useful yet, but give him time (I HOPE.)

One thing I've noticed is that Beasley is actually playing fairly well except for his shooting. The unfortunate part is that he just doesn't fit in the rotation. With DLO spending time at SG there isn't much opportunity for Beasley. He's a guy that needs extended run to get in rhythm.

Winning a game where you lose the OReb, TO and FT battle is very impressive. Especially when the team is the defending champs. Jaden did a great job on Middleton (Thought he should’ve finished the game over Bev). DLo hot start got us the lead we needed and Ant came thru clutch with the final bucket. They let Giannis get away with 2 goaltends that almost cost us the game.

I thought those goal tends was superstar treatment….those were really close but the bucks stream didn’t show replays. Maybe the wolves broadcast did

Bucks smaller than normal and short handed but they are The Champs and adversity tested.

We don’t win the game if we beat Pelicans IMO. Got team focused and I’ll trade an expected win for an expected loss these early on.

Different KAT. Felt more team oriented and since the other guys were doing well didn’t have to take over. Having defensive and rebounding help allowed that kind of game. Maybe builds trust that helps the whole team long term.

Beasley has been an effective scorer when he’s high usage. If he can make the transition we got something as he’s been surprisingly good in other areas. Just giving a damn about D helps and that applies to whole team.
