Game 43: Timberwolves at Golden State

[Nick K]

43 points from our bench!! So far!

[_AIJ_]

Kuminga is a very strong dude

I swear he looks like Durant in flashes out there. Dude looks good.

He is! I think he is a top 5 rookie this season, and imo, has the highest potential

[Calinks]

Golden Stae is shell shocked right now, it's one of those games we have seen where they are just mentally shot and the other team is just on fire. bad place to be, they got rocked hard.

It usually doesn't matter who is playing for the Warriors. We just automatically lose to them. Looks like we are turning another corner.

Cant wait until Beasley is gone

Not a good game for this comment, but yeah it's probably best that he moves on freeing up the salary.

Were the only home team who won tonight

[WolfAddict]

Good win - Was worried we'd get burned by Wiggins, but we kept him pretty quiet for the most part.

[Calinks]

Arooooooooooo!!! We are a different team when our bench comes to play. Beasley and Jaylen scoring absolutely changes the potency of our offense. We need the bench bad if we want to chase the 6th seed.

ARRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

#7 in the standings!!

KAT, Beas & Jaylen showed up tonight.

Btw I really like the way Kuminga plays, way bigger than I thought.

Lastly, we are tied in wins for 6th seed, but 2 losses back of them. We can go on a winning streak with Knicks, Hawks & Nets (Without KD) coming up

[Neeva]

Not happy that Kuminga probably wont be a bust and dlo is well dlo.

I agree moving Beasley asap but we need to get something for him. You know he has 2 years left on his contract. I keep thinking he's an expiring...but no.

It's thrilling to see us get better little by little. Especially after that bad 10 game stretch early, which I didn't see coming and that really threw me, I was wondering if we'd ever get better. I'm afraid to say this is for real....but I think it is.

For the 1st time in years I bet on the Wolves go over 34. I haven't bet on the Wolves in at least 17 years.


AARROOOOOO!!

[Dalvin]

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! It's always a treat to beat the Warriors!

[Mattya]

Gotta take advantage of these weak teams. Hopefully we can string a few more on top of this.

[moonpie]

DLO last 7 games (minus his first game back from protocols):

19.4 PPG
3.0 RPG
10.9 APG

45.8% FG
40.7% 3PT
93.3% FT

[winforlose]

Standrew Wiggins.

The refs sucked hard tonight. They called every minor thing they could against us and let a ton of contact against, KAT, Ant, Dlo, MCD, and others go unpunished.

So weird to win by 20 when Ant scores 9. Great that V8 got to 10, that’s where I think he should be every night. Hopefully by the end of the season that is his average. Nowell is a gem who needs a lot more minutes. What a difference when Malik Threesley shows up. I like what I saw from Wright. KAT was the big dog tonight

It's amazing how much better this team is when Beasley is hitting 3s at 40+% (vs the all to frequent sub 20% nights). I think if Beasley could consistently hit 3s at 35-40% rate in the majority of games the rest of the season the Wolves would have a real chance at the 5th or 6th seed.

It's also surprising that Jaylen Nowell has become the 6th most important player on the team. He's become the most critical component of the bench group.

I never thought wiggins had a lot of fans here before on the Wolves forum who are now on the warriors board. I am 100% they were posting here when wiggins was still with us.

Unless we don’t really need that stretch PF.

I have to ask...

Am I the only person enjoying the multi-headed guard attack?

DLo
Ant
Nowell

That’s a pretty decent trio of creators.

Then catch and shoot guys...

Beasley
Prince (great D when you need it)

Beverly can create and shoot some too.

I might prefer to keep options and further roster commitment open for now.

He might even be important than Bev. Not a knock on Pat, just a recognition of how valuable Nowell has become. Especially with his ability to create and dish. We have players who usually do one or the other, great to have a playmaker who does both well.

Beasley is often the wild card. Our offense gets him open shots, he just doesn’t hit them consistently enough. The extra 6-9 ppg in those cold shooting nights probably win a few.

Knicks game should be a good one - They're on a 3 win streak with Charlotte to play before us - I am quietly confident we'll get a W over in NY
