    looked like they got bored at times especially in the second half. should have won by 20 plus if they tried. couple more weeks to work out any issues that may arise. this might be one of the deepest rosters I can remember and I been watching since 89. it will be fun once they play some of the big dogs and the West is loaded this year.

    Did you not see him dribbling off his foot, several terrible turnovers and passed across the court that land 3 rows up? Of course after I posted that then he made some very clutch shots.

    I freaking hate Dallas. They just don’t miss when they play us – freaking unbelievable shooting

    All I gotta say is Luka is a killer like no other…..just wow! Got to love this physical of a game but they shot themselves in the foot with 20 turnovers. Notes taken hopefully?

    Is there a bigger player you love to hate than Luka? The dude cries and throws tantrums all game but will then absolutely bury you in the final minutes…

    Kyrie was just as much a killer. Quite the combo.

    I don’t hate the chubby kid, but just marvel at how clutch he is, it’s really impressive . I hope Ant can be on his level some day. It’s coming!

    Yes he was. I keep thinking time will slow him down eventually but he is timeless. He is a weird guy but I bet he is an amazing teammate. The wolves are built to beat Dallas and this time it was self inflicted. You just have to hope one of those guys has an off night.

    Ant was absolutely on fire in the first quarter. When I flipped there he had something like 24 of the Wolves 35 points or something like that. I am starting to really like that Randle. You look at him and you never would guess he is athletic much less shoot threes etc. Impressive.

    You’d think they would have taken notes during the first game. They’ve been turning the ball over far too many times over the first 4 games. Except, maybe 1 game?

    17
    13
    20

    Turnovers over the first 4. Their D has been lackluster as best as well.

    Love Ant, but starting with 24 in the first quarter and then only finishing with 37 plus a terrible Turnover at crunch time is a tough look (averaging 4 TO/game). If he really wants to make that leap to the best player in the league he’s gotta clean that stuff up.

    I agree, I was like what happened to him did the Mavs adjust or did he just get fat and happy with what he did in the first? Im sure the former but I didnt watch much of the game to know.

    Wolves are in the Nuggets head! It’s a game of runs and they went on a 10 zero run to get the dub.

    Great win, now they just need to figure out how to stop Dallas

    Man I wish I could have watched the end last night. Only saw pieces early. But then again I get too jacked up to sleep if it’s a nail biter, lol. Sounds like NAW was the difference in the 4th. He’s had an awesome start to the year. Big win over the Nugz!

    Just saw ANT was fined for an obscene gesture against the Kings. Anybody know what he did? Curious minds want to know.

    I think you could get your answer a lot quicker via Google but he flipped off a fan

    The Wolves just don’t look very good so far this year. Randle sucks and Divencenzo has been ice cold too. Hope they figure it out soon but they just don’t have the same vibe as last year, not even close bawling

    Randle’s Career Averages:
    19.1 ppg, 9 rebounds, 3.7 assists

    Randle’s Averages with the Wolves:
    21.8 ppg, 6.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists

    Generally speaking, the Wolves got exactly who they thought they were getting. Randle hasn’t “sucked” but he’s performed as expected by most measures. It’s early to evaulate the trade – but sometimes the grass isn’t always greener.

    I think the Wolves have to get more out of Jaden McDaniels. With the bigger contract he has to offer more than 10 points here and there and some above average defense if this team is going to go anywhere.

    Don’t disagree with any of that. But Randle has missed a lot of shots and had a bunch of turnovers to get those numbers. I’m still pulling for him though, and he’s having a nice game tonight. Divencenzo has been ice cold again tonight almost looks lost at times. But he FINALLY just hit a shot so maybe that can get him going.

    Dillingham was a huge spark last night, and they rallied to come back but unfortunately the rest of the team kind of choked it at the end and lost in OT. Ant had a good chance to win the game in regulation but missed.

    They have just been in a funk. Really hope they catch fire again at some point. Last year was so fun.

    Randle is not the problem even tho many assume. Defense is the problem and has been for 18 games. It’s on Finchy to figure it out.

    Have a good Thanksgiving yall

    Ice is coming early for most of us in SE anyway! BOUT FKN TIME!

    I was talking to a buddy yesterday who was out pheasant hunting and he was walking on the ponds which shocked me. He is a little twerp though.

    That was another massive choke job last night. Really tough to watch. That is 4 straight losses… not good. They might need a players only meeting or something to shake this vibe. Woof.

    I was wondering if not having Kyle Anderson was having an effect in the locker room. Tonight’s interviews confirm that he is missed in term of being a vocal leader. Hopefully this team can gel and somebody brings the group together…
