There really is some Scottie Pippen in McDaniels.

DLO up 16 3 mins to go let's shoot a 3 seconds into shot clock. Great Basketball IQ or maybe needs another 3 to pad those stats.

I picked the right game to go see in person! Jaden looked good tonight. So did Taurean Prince. So did Naz, we need to figure out a way to re-sign him, excellent back up big. Dare I say Dlo didn't look completely outclassed tonight? I guess this is what you get when you play the Rockets. We could definitely win 60 games if we just played them every night.

How could I have forgotten about SloMo, he is going to be a really good add for us, he just plays team basketball and does all the little things, let's see if he can fill Vandy's shoes

KAT was just abused by Sengun whenever he was one on one in the post against him. That should be a good reminder as to why we went out and got Gobert. But overall KAT has had far fewer mental meltdowns and histrionics than we have seen in the past.

As for Ant, I see nothing in his game this year that is an improvement over last year. And that is not a good sign.

McLaughlin with 11 assists and no turnovers. The guy just keeps getting others buckets while limiting his own mistakes to near zero. He hasn't had a turnover since October 24th.....

I think this is the best game for the Wolves so far this season. I know that's not saying much, but it is what it is. It's noteworthy that Gobert, not KAT, is out today. I'd consider trading Gobert long before I'd consider trading KAT.


Well at the end of day Kat and Rudy are who they're. The real problem is what type of player Ant is going to become. If he's not what everyone wants him to be then none of this matters.

I'm sorry but it doesn't bold well that he came into the season fat and out of shape. You can't tell me in the first 10 games this year does it look like he worked on or approved anything in his game? You could say defense but I would argue that was always a mindset thing for him.


The center fit is the bigger problem and the only reason there's even an Ant problem at all is because this trade was an all in bet on Ant before we knew if he was ready. Towns is a much better 5 on the offensive end... that much should be obvious to everyone by now. It should also be obvious that we're not gonna be able to play these two together for any extended stretches against most teams in games that matter. Milwaukee is actually an exception to that as Kat/Rudy match up well against them... and they still pounded us at home without one of their best players. That loss was on Dlo.

This team had one big problem this offseason (our PG sucks)... rather than addressing that, they decided to double down and create another problem. Now we can't fix either :) I said this trade was dumb from the beginning and it's actually looking worse than I even imagined. At least this trade distracted from me being pissed about the Dlo for Wiggins/kuminga (or wagner) trade.

Also, yes... if anyone will give us 2 firsts and a good player for Gobert, you take it and run.
