Is Cam happy? That's really the most important thing.


He got mad at me because I pointed out that Prince and Slow Mo were yelling at him for his defensive rotations.

But after my post Dlo locked in and won the wolves the game. Got the full Dlo experience and it ended in a win

Overall Slow Mo and Mcdaniels were so freaking good.

Ant was bad but he played hard.

Dlo struggled but then went ice in the veins Dlo to bring the wolves back and win it.

Naz was really bad

Good Nowell and Matt Ryan minutes.

I thought Knight was good.

Good win the wolves needed it. Now don't sleep walk the next 2 against the rockets

Prince was the +/- loser tonight.

How come I felt better about our play against Denver, which was a loss, than our play against Toronto, which was a win?!? :-D

Toronto had scored 119 points after just over 38 minutes. In the remaining 9:45 left, they scored 7. Incredible.

So yeah, they pretty much scored at will for 75% of the game. And then it just stopped.

Shoutout to Ant for his fourth quarter defense. Not sure it was mentioned or not, but he was working his ass off. Deserves recognition for it. He's an absolute animal when he locks in there.

NOW is the time to trade DLO. We might actually get something that can help us.

Yeah, he is elite as an isolation one on one defender. Siakim couldn't do anything against him.

The problem is we can't count on that from him from him for 30+ minutes a night, partially because he carries too big of an offensive load and partially because his focus and attention to details wanes quite often. Gary Trent Jr. made him look kinda silly a couple times because he wasn't locked in. Then he locks in on Siakam and the dude looked completely helpless.

I half watched the game and was about ready to turn it off down 14 points with less that 10 mins to go in the 4th Quarter. I was about to cuss DLo's name from the roof top too.

But what a remarkable comeback and props to DLO for nailing four consecutive 3pt shots. Its wins like this that can turn seasons around. Hopefully this win does.
