Minnesota sports fan. Use your challenges! (Breanna Stewart traveled…and she wasn’t fouled.) Soon.

Players put up numbers on bad teams. Remember when Michael Beasley was a Wolf? Minott is a talented player. Playing on a contender is different than what he’s being asked to do with Boston right now.

Followup on the insane Scott Foster-ing from last night's game...

In the initial video it's clear the whistle blows based on the first contact (not a foul), but upon review foul is assessed based on contact that happens simultaneous with the whistle. Even Jokic thought the whistle was for a travel.
If they reward it, it’s an advantage.

Have to maximize advantages.
It’s become clear through the Wolves first few games that if they want to contend, they need to improve their flopping.

The best teams do it well.

Have to improve there.
I don’t think it’s that deep. Clark plays no problem.

You need to find a role that adds value to the team.

Everyone’s timeline is different.
This is a perfect summation of the game.

Didn’t need Ant.

Clark would’ve have Jamal in a heat pack tossing contest.

3rd quarter heater never happens.
Couldn’t maintain the intensity in the face of a Jamal Murray/THJ 3rd quarter heater and the b2b caught up to them with some dead legs on 3pt shooting in the 4th.

Obviously missed Ant, but could have really used the Jaylen Clark curveball to throw at Murray that 3rd quarter.

I’ve always felt the scout would hurt him. He’s got a great jab and go, but the scout only takes so long.

He’s feeling that now.

Rob got by defenders with ease, but then wasn’t aggressive. Minutes will bring the aggression. He’s gonna be a factor.
TSJ hurt his case tonight.

Rob helped his.

Rob might find a way into the rotation.
It’s a matchup thing.

We need you to take care of OKC.

Hopefully we meet for a chance at the finals.
I feel good.

Tonight was extremely encouraging.

I like the Wolves chances.

Wolves had a shot at this one despite being super short-handed, but this (and @ NYK) was always going to be a longshot to win during this non-Ant stretch.

Some good things to takeaway from this game! Mike might not be fully cooked. Jaden carrying offensive load. Great Naz effort.

Moral victory!
Interesting screen by Jokic on that Murray layup (block by Jaden).
They miss Clark. We can spot Denver an Ant absence and still win this game.

If we play like this, very reasonable chance we only drop 2 games without Ant.

Defense still needs to pick up. Hard without Clark.
Jaden has dug in.

Absolutely love it.

(If Clark plays, Wolves run away with this… Ant can still sit.)
Jokic just fouled Rudy.

Then carried.

Neither was called.
Mike is the best.

I’m so happy for him.
So, Jokic is an entitled player now?

He’s a whiner?

I thought he was above this.
Took their punch.

I don’t expect that shooting to hold.

Punch. Back.
Fairly certain Jonas just got a courtesy call.

He reached, but he didn’t touch.
