Rudy is flat out ball'n tonight!
Rudy is flat out ball'n tonight!
Seems pretty obvious that some gate or gates opened earlier than others. Really frustrating. And the Wolves got smoked!
Crappy Wolves night all around. Made a special trip to the game to get the Lamb Chop hoodie & despite being in line 30min b4 the gate opened & one of the 1st few the members entrance there were still 100-150 people in line when I got to sec 118! They ran out of the XL hoodie just as it was my turn.
Ant's youth and inexperience really showing up again the last week or so. When the Wolves start to struggle Ant doesn't elevate the team, he tries to do everything and makes things worse. He was much better earlier in the season, but he's back to pounding the air out of ball and playing iso ball.
I understand. But, it still feels like something our fan base needs to understand. Lots of fans getting hopes up for something that's almost a mathematical impossibly short of Mil going all Nico Harris!
What I think people are forgetting is we have to have a minimum number of rostered players. This trade is basically even money, but we'd need to sign 3 more players to the roster and that would push us over the 2nd apron.
The problem with a lot of the proposals is that we're sending out more players than we get back. We'll have to add roster players which will almost certainly push us into the 2nd apron. People don't seem to understand that it's more than just making the dollars work! Plus, most are bad deals!
That was rough.
Yes!
Not NHL, NBA Basketball Team
Alt Text: Edited 1996-2008 primary logo for the Minnesota Timberwolves, with the teeth baring timberwolf looming over the pine trees giving ICE the double bird, and word mark saying "GET THE FUCK OUT OF MINNESOTA - ABOLISH ICE".
We look tired. But good teams have to find ways to get up back to backs. So far we're not.
Why does the Wolves collective IQ drop by 50 points in the final 5 minutes of games? We're not really smart to begin with!
I'm not big on complaining about officiating, but this Wolves-Clippers game might be the worst officiated game I've seen in a very long time.
Harden kicked out!! What a BS call!
Whoever came up with this Wally The Rubber Duck give away for the Timberwolves should be punished by being locked in a small room with 500 kids each with a duck and being encouraged to squeak in constantly!
Yeah, it's just mind blowing that it happened the very next game! I don't know if we need to make a trade for someone, make some changes on the coaching side or just hire an army of sport psychologist. Maybe all the above?
Absolutely brutal. Same terrible execution as against the Suns. Something has to change. I don't know what, but something has to change.
Sitting at the game. He's looks more tentative than chill. This is his 3rd poor shooting game in a row.
Boy feeling like it's a Naz Reid or nothing night. Hard to understand how Ant can be in this big of a slump.
Little nervous about tonight's Timberwolves game. We have a tendency to not show up against weak teams. I think the Mavs might be starting one of their waterboys tonight! Hopefully we put them away early and see a lot of the deep bench.
Wolves decided to play defense for 3:30 minutes and almost won. Ultimately poor defense cost us the game. The last play Jaden had to cheat and prevent Reaves from using the screen and getting to the lane. Force him to the right and into help and hopefully a long shot. Can't give him the lane there.
On ball defense and ball containment are non-existent! Really bad across the board
Jaden has been really bad containing the ball tonight. Lakers living in the lane and Rudy constantly gets hung out to dry
Wolves defense is terrible. Jaden & Naz are constantly getting burned. No ball containment, Rudy is constantly getting hung out to dry. Rudy should be chewing the team in the locker room, they're making him look like crap! No reason why Reaves & the Lakers B Squad should score 62 in a half
I think ice would ask for a coat if it was forced to hang out with the Wolves right now!
I think the Wolves probably missed Clark as much or more than Ant! I doubt Murray gets 40+ if Clark is playing. Even holding him to 30 probably keeps us in the game. Although shooting so cold in the last few minutes might not have mattered.
What did you think about the new lighting system? My wife and I are split. I liked it and she hated it.
It will be interesting. At we finally have qualified adults running the show! Whatever they decide, I have more faith in them, than anyone in the past!
Was thinking Garza would be dropped originally, now I wonder if they keep him. Stash Rocco overseas for a year and give Joan B a year to get up to speed. Garza is a low cost no effort safty valve. I think Miller gets cut, Minot let go, and Julius declines and re-signs. It will be interesting.
