Wolves at Mavs GDT

[Q-is-here]

Ant fearlessly went up for a couple of high flying dunks last night. He didn't finish them but showed that hip must be feeling better. Either that or he can't help himself. He seems to be a rhythm player who takes a bit to get back in sync.

Yep, I noted that too Cool. Also as I mentioned in the grading thread, I thought his defense was as aggressive and enthusiastic as I've seen. I don't think the hip is an issue...it's just a matter of getting his rhythm back. I'm looking for him to blow up against a Pacers team that doesn't take defense seriously. It would be fun to see him bounce back and go off for 40.

I'd love to see him, Jaden, and NAW shut Halliburton down, as he's kind of upstaged Ant in my opinion and risen to the top of that draft class. May be Ant and Jaden will take his success personally.

I would go past "kind of upstaged" to "clearly upstaged"...I don't think there is any question right now that Haliburton is at the top of that draft class. Ant is far and way the superior defender between the two, so as he develops his offensive game, he may well become #1 in that class.

But yeah, good point...I'd like to see Ant take this game personally. You've probably already noticed that the schedulers have once again given us a break. Even though it's only the Wizards, it's still a hardship to play a game tonight and have to fly west to play the next night.

I do wonder how Ant would do in a similar high-paced offense (Pacers are #1 in pace) with not much energy utilized on defense. May be he'd be able to blow up his stats too. The fact is that Ant is part of an ensemble cast that leans into defense and a bit more of a structured offense with the dual-big setup.

And yeah, I think the entire Wolves team needs to take this one personally because Indiana is the #1 offense going up against the #1 defense on their home floor.
