Man, why would Jaden McDaniels foul a streaky, 35% three-point shooter like that? Not sure what's up with the Kyle Anderson negativity, he's been fine.

Ever since Philly everything Karl does is awkward and rarely seems to work lol. Dude broke after that game, I swear. I can't wait until he gest back in the grove this has been painful.

We're on the road beating a good team by 12 so of course negative posts outnumber positive. Go Wolves.

One thing I love seeing this season. Good FT shooting by Ant game after game. If you all recall last year he was a bad FT shooter.

First possession Anthony Edwards, then this possession Karl-Anthony Towns. Rudy Gobert is such a massive offensive asset, but is painfully underutilized in the lane. Still a very good half overall, Jalen Green is killing his team.

He’s just awkward in general. Poor technique, lack of fundamentals and iq. Does the same thing every game for years and hasn’t changed at all. Has actually regressed in some areas.

While he’s been having a good year for the most part, he’s one of those players that you just have to accept his faults and try to minimize them as much as possible.

I like Anthony Edwards trying to make that pass, even if the reaction time was WAY too late.

Jalen Green has about one good game out of every 10. Of course he's having one against us.

Something worth doing if you don't understand my complaints about Anthony Edwards' court vision is rewind the last And-1. Great job making the jumper through contact, but look at how WIDE open Karl-Anthony Towns is in the left slot.

The result on this possession was great, but that's the kind of possession that often times leads to bad results. It is optimizations on plays like that where Anthony Edwards should spend the most time during film room trying to learn. He has gotten better at drive-and-kicks, but his decision making in ball-screen action is where the most improvement needs to happen.

Nice game so far Wolves. Now lets keep it going and build the lead bigger.

I was just about to post that our two main stars have absolutely no synergy on the court. They rarely play PnR together. I rarely see Edwards assist Towns on any shots.

They need each other currently since there’s no other options but idk if they actually like playing with each other. Regardless of what they might say in interviews. It doesn’t show on the court.

I mean Ant does have tunnel vision while Towns doesn’t set the best picks. Maybe Finch just feels it’s not beneficial with non shooters out there.

On another note, even though they’ve had a good start to the season, nobody outside of Ant is untouchable the more I watch them. Tough decisions for the front office coming…

Rudy one point away from a double double plus 4 stocks with 4 Minutes remaining in the 3rd. The Wolves and my fantasy teams are loving it.

This is the kind of game I want to see way more often. Take the lead in the first quarter and fingers crossed hold it the rest of the game.

I'd like to see less TOs from Ant and KAT, but other than that we are playing a very good game, leading a good Houston team my 17 on the road.

KAT has 18-8-5!?! I haven't been watching just looking at game here and there and it seems like he has had a horrible game but those stats are great. Best of all it looks like we are dominating.
