I guess Ant can rest his knee now.

DDV probably out for a year. Ant is lucky his leg is attached after that hyper extension of his good knee. Randle is playing like he doesnt want to be out there. Jaden is close to shiving someone. What a team.

Strength in numbers, but I really don't want to see Conley out there in the second half. Now is the the time to let TJ loose. He got his feet wet there in the first half with that 3-ball.

The biggest thing is Jaden playing 24 minutes this half

I understand the risk with him, but isn't this the perfect team and time to let him to loose?

I believe this team is talented enough to win this game and series even without ANT. I’d feel a lot more confident about that if Donte was available. His 3 point shooting, savvy play and grit and leadership would be huge in this situation.

The key to this game is Jaden playing smart and staying on the floor. If you have to sacrifice a little bit of defense do it. You’re the man now, stay out of foul trouble.

Julius Randle we need you to step up.

Going from one of the best games he’s played in a Wolves uniform to one of worst. This is the Randle experience.

Take your pills and step up.

Give it time.

BS with that Barkley, Jaden is now the best player on the team and he needs to take over.

Doesn't pay to play 82 games. Just not worth the injury risk these days with the amount of ground NBA guards have to cover. Such a bummer.

I'd pack it up and just play the young guys. No DDV, and now maybe no Ant or a two injured knee one, our slim title chances went to zero.
