That's the way you do it. 12 point lead. Now don't screw it up with a 4th quarter collapse.

impressive qtr from KAT, they aren't even running action for him
just giving him the ball 20 ft from basket

It would be nice.

Very good job. Imagine if he were hitting his 3s tonight.

Too bad we already used the challenge. That should had been an offensive foul by Shamet

Ant not shooting well tonight from the field, but I love, love, love the 10-11 from the line. He missed his first FT tonight. 10-10 since.

really don't understand why Brown doesn't play
I get Milton getting minutes with Conley out, as a primary ball handler
but playing JMAC and Shake seems odd, rather than Brown/JMAC

Could it be that we need to show case JMAC and Shake so we could trade them?

I'm worried the team will learn the wrong thing from the Hornets debacle. The lesson is not we shouldn't try to feed KAT more. I love that we got him really involved. We just overdid it and everything else was terrible. This team has to empower Towns a lot more on offense. We need him scoring at an elite level and he hasn't done that yet since the big trade. We wont go far without it

He should take more of our shots. More usage.

yeah, in one sense its impressive how skilled KAT is that he can generate half court offense that way

but its not really something you can do against high level defenses, its not "good basketball"

RUDY RUDY RUDY!!!!!!!!!!!
60% FGs tonight
100% FTs.
Doesn't that seem backwards?

Towns is missing shots, but I hope people are seeing how much more fluid the offense is when Minnesota makes an effort to find him open on the premier.

KGdaBom · Post #75 » by **KGdaBom** » Thu Jan 25, 2024 2:16 am

9 point lead 4 minutes remaining. Bring it home Wolves.

I have no problem with 11-23. Sure it could be better, but I won't complain. Did you possibly mean perimeter?

ANT just not there defensively tonight, not really lazy but getting killed on cuts, not getting in position chasing players around
he might be at the point where he only gets hyped up by matchup

KGdaBom · Post #78 » by **KGdaBom** » Thu Jan 25, 2024 2:20 am

Gafford done if the call isn't overruled. However, Bagley has been killing us so it doesn't matter that much.

KGdaBom · Post #79 » by **KGdaBom** » Thu Jan 25, 2024 2:22 am

We are going to have to scrape and claw all the way to the end and hope to hold on.

Case of bad foot work on D by JMcD. You don't lean into the shooter with your body, just jump straight up.
