@KyleTheige Is there a single west playoff team Minnesota doesn’t seem to hate? Feels like most of the field there we take it personal, just the fact that they exist
@TWolvesLead As awesome as Giannis is taking a team who already struggles due to lack rotational quality players and reducing that number even farther seems like we are still not a contender and with no more assets to fill the roster around ant and Giannis
@welderdude40 @JaceFrederick Because the rebounds struggled as every team just crashed the glass on him and he would still manage to tip them out even when no one else really tried to rebound (except TSJ), without Rudy the rebounding was a lot worse along with the defense
@PhilMackey A lot of the criticism comes from that what he’s doing is so rare and unprecedented for his age that he gets comped to much more than experienced already proven superstars, which at times can be insanely lofty for a 23 year old who still has some room to grow
@BenStevenHughes@HoodieNaz_ Rudy has been far and away carrying our defense in a series where the lakers have struggled to score, trying to say he’s been terrible is just not accurate, want to see what he normally is on the glass and on offense as well, but he’s been good-really good in all 3 games
@TwolvesBlog Teams are doubling ant and the paint forcing Mike-Jaden-Randle to beat them from 3 and while it creates good looks for espically Mike and Jaden we just can’t punish them enough to force teams to not try to completely take ant out
@ImJustKyle_@FBallAnalysisYT I mean it’s a flawed case, 2 years ago when Daboll one you can make a great case how KOC was robbed, you will always run into 3 deserving coaches so 2 get robbed. Have to take each year completely independently even if some coaches get perpetually robbed
@AusTWolves@canishoopus I mean it’s been traded like 5 times as a pick that will never convey so it most likely conveying for us is nice, a mid first is still really valuable spot to land role players so it’s certainly far from a bad pick, just not one you bank on landing a franchise guy with
@AlanMcCaulley@oh_ess_eff @statmusewolves We could’ve waited a year, but did it early for the better package, feel like most people forget there is the ant prime team we aren’t trying to blow up by going all in now so we need to keep our young core. Also CJ and Grant signing that is one of the all time dumbest things
@SalleyBMitchell @EvInFour Every team has this happen multiple times, and every team struggles with it, B2Bs with travel are like the decision of a scheduled loss and one of the hardest games to pull off in the nba
@HowlsAndGrowls_ Wonder if they wanted to keep a higher % of the rotation consistent from last year to help while they bring new guys up to speed rather than Minott/Shannon/Ingles, Dilly, Randle, and Donte all playing roles while not playing last year
