7:53 - 1st qtr. Wolves still pitching a shutout

Defense here tonight. Portland is not a good team. Hope we go fast to 25 up and give a lot of min to RD, Luka, Josh...

Randle no good at both ends.

Playing with great force tonight

Solid performance. Portland is really bad, probably help a bit.

Excellent start for the Wolves. Now the question becomes whether they can keep up the intensity or will they let the Blazers back into the game (something they don't have a good track record with so far this season).

Offense is a mess in 2nd qtr. with Ant on the bench. No one can create and no cutting.

And there is the avalanche of turnovers that we always seem to have once we get a lead over 15 pts.

Have to manage time more smartly. Need to organize thing a bit better. Not sure Mike is able tonight. He look tired, or just need more warm up. Maybe give some time to RD.

DDV's best game as Wolves - 2 steals, 4/7 from 3s, 4 ast - in first half

Getting sloppy

The Wolves are terrible at playing with a lead. So many turnover and Blazers offensive rebounds.

wolves_89 · Post #14 » by **wolves_89** » Sat Nov 9, 2024 3:16 am

I am starting to wonder if every time we get a 20 pt lead Finch should put in Dillingham, Shannon, Minott, and Garza. If we are going to lose the lead anyway, we might as well get the young guys some playing time.

Randle just doesn't align with the identity of this team.

Knicks got better late last year following his injury. Puts in less effort than Naz on defense.

There is something about him that doesn't create wins..

WTF letting a scrub team knock a 27 point lead down to 10.
Effort fell off a cliff again led of course by Julius Randle.

We better pick our effort up in the 2nd half or we will lose, even against this sorry bunch of talentless scrubs.
Jaden NAW and Rudy are defending really well but the rest of the guys arent defending or taking care of the ball.

3 point shooting is carrying us.
Conley should have just sat this one out on the 2nd half of a back to back he is terrible tonight.

These 3s are really killing Ant's offensive game. Game after game

He is shooting well, so I don't mind. Do agree his driving to basket is not very effective

It seems with Ant out, our offense stalls. With Gobert out, our defense can't stop a college team.
