NAW picking up his 3rd was maybe not the foul to give

He must have one of the best +/- on the team maybe behind gobert.

Jmac 8 points, 4 assists and a plus 16 in the second quarter. he has definitely been their highest plus/minus guy the last two games.

I don’t care that Edwards has 2 points tonight. We’re up by 9. Good half.


But it’s alarming that he’s been off for so long. I know he’s the tough guy and all, but if he’s not right he needs to rest. It’s not load management if you’re actually hurt. Don’t be a hero. We need him 100% healthy. The Edwards we’ve gotten recently isn’t going to cut it in the playoffs.

We'll see how the next few games go, I'd imagine if we're pretty locked into 3rd place the final week they should be able to rest Ant, and some others.

hard to know if it's physical or not with him. he could just be not hitting his shots. played the most minutes of anybody on the team in the first half. i commented in the thread earlier that if finch wasn't so inflexible with his idea that he has to play the whole first and third quarters--he should have been pulled at the halfway point of the first. that was as about as listless a 12 minutes as i've seen him play all season.

Couple of possessions ago, Ant passes it WAY out to Naz as time runs out on the shot clock. He's done that at least the last 4 games at one time, passing it out with virtually zero left on the clock.

Ant is 0 for his last 19 threes. maybe he should focus in on defense and assists and let the game come to him. he's fighting it.

Playing well. And not getting a great whistle either.

I'm glad I could motivate Ant by saying he should be on the bench.

12 minutes off the clock and the status quo holds. that's good for the wolves.

Good close.


Stalemate quarter.


Someone who’s better at basketball math than me let me know, if we stalemate again in the fourth we stand a good chance of winning, right?
