Ant let his teammates do work from the get go and has had a ton of energy despite playing high minutes last night. This is the formula. Let's hope he sees it.
Agree. And I think he does see it. Edwards is smart. He’s stubborn but smart. I’ll add that Ant’s failure to rely more on his teammates this season isn’t all on Ant. A big portion of it is attributable to Ant’s teammates. Rudy’s bad hands, clumsiness and offer comically bad shooting inside is a factor. NAW and Conley haven’t been good offensively at all this season. Jaden regressed offensively the first two months of the season. Passing the ball to Randle is like sending the ball into a black hole.
But now we see Jaden (except for tonight) playing much better offensively and NAW is suddenly regaining last season’s form. And I think Ant loves playing with Dilly. I think Dilly energizes him. Ant probably sees in Dilly high level talent like himself and someone who can play a style and pace that he likes.

So why wasnt Dillingham playing all year?
Finch is petrified of short guys who can't defend regardless of whether he's great at our weaknesses.
Hes clearly very talented

Dilly was starting to get some minutes and then got dinged up. Perhaps he would have ramped up sooner if that didn't happen.

I think the Finch temper tantrum (starting with the Atlanta post-game presser and through his Phoenix ejection) was perfectly timed. It gave the squad a big boost in Phoenix and now tonight Ant was determined not to get reamed out again like after the Atlanta game.

Good point. That’s what I like about a coach like Finch. He doesn’t yell and scream all the time so when he does unleash a temper tantrum it has maximum impact.

Put some respect on Naw name, lip! NAW is shooting a career high in FG%, 3Pt%, 2nd best rebounding season, 2nd best ast season. He’s been fantastic this year, put some respect on Naw

I like that the Wolves have recently been putting up scoring numbers consistent the top teams in the League, scoring 133, 121 and 138 points in three of their last four games.
