Wolves at Blazers II GDT

[60WinTim]

Sure would be nice to go into the all-star break on a winning streak! The Blazers played tough the first time around, so hopefully that serves as a wakeup call that you have to play hard no matter who you are playing.

Jaden was not very good last game, at least on the offensive end. Maybe it was the "springy" finger. I want to see a better game from him tonight. And I am hoping for a more impactful game from Monte as well. I don't even know if ANT is playing tonight?!?

Winning a second consecutive road game after blowing out the opponent in the first is a classic trap situation...one team might be taking the other for granted, while the other is motivated not to be embarrassed again. Fortunately this time the Wolves have two starters coming off very bad games, and they are going to be inspired tonight. We should get a bounce back game from Jaden and KAT and win this one.

Ayton missed his first shot. KAT hasn’t picked up a foul, yet. And Jaden seems much more active.

All good signs!

Yeah, KAT and Jaden with 7 points and 4 rebounds in the first 4 minutes...putting last game behind them.

Rebounds are 12-1 right now!

Can we just start the playoffs right now?

It's a high bar, but this is the best the Wolves defense has looked to me all season...Rudy, Jaden and NAW have been awesome.

These hot starts frequently lead to nice comebacks by the opponent. It might happen tonight, too, but right now, it sure doesn’t feel like it!

[FNG]

Gobert is outrebounding the Blazers 9-2.

LOL, they are making Simons' life miserable.
