Didn't see the game, thanks for the grades! Man, Rudy continuing to rack up A-grades. Anyone that actually watches the Wolves night in and night out knows that he is the team's MVP.

Kek, I usually see the game almost exactly like you do, but I'm going to differ with you on this one. This was our best defensive effort of the year, and I think you didn't recognize our stifling defense in some of your grades (except Rudy, who deserves the A+):

Jaden: Killer Mike was walked out of the Grammies in handcuffs last night. Jaden should have also been arrested for what he did to Jalen Green last night...what a defensive performance! B+

NAW: He's another guy who got Finchie's message...his D was great all night, and earned his +19. B

Conley: Finchie obviously challenged him to take over leading the offense from Ant and be the PG, and he controlled the offense right from the start. 9 assists and terrific defense: B

JMac. The entire flow of the game changed when he came in in the 2nd...great offensive flow for us, and chaos on offense for them. In his first minute and a half he had two rebounds, 2 assists, and disrupted three offensive possessions. He brought it tonight, and I'm not going to punish him for his -7 in garbage time. B

But on the other hand, despite his brilliant third quarter, I have to downgrade Ant for inconsistency...his first half was dreadful. B-.

I get that Ant didnt make shots in the first half but to put his grade below Jmac, Conley, McDaniels and NAW is a bit strange to me. He single handedly put this game out reach with 12 minutes to play. I get we want him to be more consistent, but who cares that 1 quarter padded his stats? We won because of his scoring.

I think that's fair, doper...that was a spectacular 3rd quarter. My problem with Ant is his inconsistency...not only from game to game, but from quarter to quarter. And his incessant whining is getting tiresome...somebody needs to send him a copy of the fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf. He has very little credibility with the refs when he whines about every play. Technical fouls in two consecutive games is not a good trend, and it's only going to get worse unless Finchie does something to hold him accountable. I admit my grading downgrade is based on how dissatisfied I am with his demeanor recently, and I agree with your upgrade.
