Well Ant has only played 25 minutes, I think he'll be fine...

Jaden having 9 rebounds is the biggest surprise of the night

I can't even say something nice without a troll comment.

chill out and enjoy the win man

To be fair, your reply was kinda unnecessary....

Sorry, Gobert paid me.

Yeah we should have no starters or even regulars in the game now.

Finch really isn't any different than Thibs in that regard, but doesn't get that criticism.
probably because no one has gotten injured, that I can think of

Not his best game tonight for sure. You seem to go a little overboard when anything goes wrong is all.

Very few NBA coaches empty the bench as fast as most fans would like.

I just don't understand why Naz Reid and Nickeil Alexander-Walker need to be out there, right now.

Good move by Milton. Hope that gets him going.

Naz gets his double double.

Magic won the 3rd and 4th quarters, but I can live with it. Nice win.

Disgusting body language by Ant. Not even there at bench end of the game

Aaaarrrrrooooooo!!!!! Nice response! Love watching dominant defensive games from the team. Really helps when the refs just let them be physical (which would be great in the playoffs).

P.S. Happy Birthday to KGdaBom!

good win despite the same problems Wolves have had all year
OREB by opponents
careless TOs

would like to see improvements in those areas (especially ball security) but obviously haven't been crippling problems

anytime Jaden can assert himself offensively is more important than any other development the team can have
he is the game changer, if/when defenses have to gear up for him consistently

Theyre not winning against Boston tomorrow if they play like this

I still feel like we have played at like 85 percent of our potential at best. Imagine a wolves team that has KAT playing without stray voltage, Ant and KAT playing a good two man game and both scoring. Gobert anchoring the defense. Few turnovers. All around elite defense. Good offense. Role players hitting their shots and stepping up. Great execution. That team could win a title operating like that.

Hard to say, we are playing Boston on the first game of their back to back against us and Milwaukee and that Milwaukee game means a lot more to them than our game does.
