Fork in the Road - Wolves at Bull GDT

[FNG]

28 assists and still just 1 assist...unbelievable!

Two reliable trends might go down tonight...Rudy's not getting 6 shots, and Clark may not get 14 minutes.

Clark is back in!

Yes, just needs one more minute!

Jim Pete just said what I have been thinking...Ju's passes are always chest-high leaving the guy in the perfect position to shoot. Mike is great at that too. I think that might be the next thing for Ant to work on.

C'mon Joan. Gotta be stronger than that with the ball.

Clark still out there. Phew! I'm feeling better about us pulling this one out.

Ha, I was worried too!

Good, professional win against a team that had just won six of their last eight. The Wolves made Chicago (and their crowd) look like a bottom-dweller tonight even though they're a decent-ish team.

I wonder if that terrible loss against Brooklyn was partially due to being mentally spent from the Denver OT game.

Okay, that was a "tell" in Finch's presser. He was asked about the Bulls being deflated after losing their starting backcourt. He commented that "he's been watching them for a few weeks" and they have been playing well and playing fast.

Hmm... Why was he watching the Bulls so much so recently?!? Cobe?!?

So I guess in just one off-season Ant is just able to go from one of the worst mid range shooters in the league (I think he was at like 38% or something like that last year) to now being an above average one at 45.3%!

Not only that -not including tonight's game- he's shooting 54% 10-19 ft from the basket. I left out 5-9 because he's currently sitting at 25% but he's shooting less than 1 a game from there, so it kinda confused the data imo.

Good to see a big win tonight really wish it was capping a 6 game win streak but I'll take it

Giddey, Coby, Tre Jones, Jevon Carter....They have a number of potential Guard options at various price points that could make sense for the Wolves. I'm not particularly interested in any of them in particular, but it seems like a team that would be willing to make deals.

He has absolutely become a three-level scorer and he put on a mid-range clinic in the 3rd quarter. It's something he'll need for the playoffs.

Not sure how guys work on passing in the offseason, as that seems more like an innate feel + willingness thing, but as FNG mentioned, there are probably drills out there to help with his passing accuracy so that guys have a better chance of cashing in off his passes.

Jones would be a good candidate imo and I'm just saying that cause of the Sota connection lol
