Only complaint I have is Bolmaro getting a whole 1:51 off the bench behind Layman in a blowout game.

What are we doing with this guy? Why call him up to warm the end of the bench? He can't get some run with the 2nd unit?

You'd think a good defending, high IQ player could get an opportunity to play.

Vando +31 in 18 minutes is exactly how it felt

He should be playing over Prince already, finch’s subs make no sense.

Everybody's been tough on Kat. He needs some love. Come on everybody. Get with it for Kat!

Kat is a super intense player. Nobody wants to win more. It's not easy to deal with losing. Help Kat through this.

It looks bad today. we're all beside ourselves but tomorrow might be just great. Just when you think you have sports figuered out it all changes. Go figure.

I haven’t. I have consistently said KAT is one of the best offensive bigs ever. I question his soft label because I watch him fight through double and triple teams every game. I want him to shoot more not because I blame him for shooting less, but because it leads to more wins.

I didn’t see the game yet (it’s on my DVR) but I did see the box and will say this, the Wolves have the potential to dominate on any given night. Having double digit leads in most games is a sign of talent. That said, they are young, they are undersized, and going through personal adversity in most cases (Beasley and Prince are great examples of guys who just collapsed this year.) We have proven we can blow leads and lose games we should win. Now we need to consistently prove we can keep leads and win games. A nice win doesn’t do that, a series of nice wins does.

No reason to get hyped about a win against Wayne Ellington.

Call me back when the Wolves are 5 games above .50 or have won 5 in a row. Thats the standard what an organization is supposed to build instead of celebrating single wins against LeBron-less Lakers

Its really simple, we lose games if KAT defers to his teammates. We win if he is super aggressive

Like I have been saying this is KAT’s team. Ant will get there one day, but KAT is just so damn talented when he stays out of foul trouble and keeps his emotions under control.

I’m with you. This win was critical to prevent a collapse for the entire season. We needed to show some fight.

I guess I’m generally an optimist. To me, right now the team has the best 1-2 punch I can remember in Edwards and KAT, who compliment each other perfectly. We have the talent to erupt for 40-12 quarters against good teams. We just don’t have the vet experience yet to hold onto 20 point leads, but the improved defense will help.

The Trade Board is jammed full of KAT trades. I don’t see how we get a player back in a deal anywhere near Towns’ caliber. Hopefully this win will get people to start thinking maybe Towns-Edwards is not a bad start.

Same issue hidden by a blow out.
8 points in the final 7 minutes!
Gotta fix that regardless of score.

Pretty much agree … DLo and ANT need to discover winning basketball outside of chucking shot attempts. Let KAT set the stage. The more those two allow that, the better opportunities they will have and efficiency will increase. If they are hot early (Ant at GSW) then KAT and DLo need to play off that. It’s the way is.

How much did 3rd unit play during this period?
