    We’ll take the win. I think it’s good for us to face a defense like that – I’m guessing come play off time we’ll see a lot of switching, so we need to get comfortable with it. Led to way too many bad shots out of Ant iso. Can’t believe we won with him playing so badly in the 2nd half. Thank goodness for a fantastic KAT game, NAW off the bench & Jaden/Rudy on D.

  2. AdmissionGSP

    Ant tried his absolute best to sell this game I’m ngl

  3. Screaming_Eagle44

    Issues remain. Just got lucky this time.

  4. CantaloupeCamper

    #FUGLY    

    #STOP WITH THE 🤡 PASSES TO RUDY!!  THE MAN DOESNT HAVE A 30’ WINGSPAN 

  5. I’ll take every W we can get, but man do we make it way too hard on ourselves.

  6. I love Edwards but he needs to fix the tunnel visioning

  7. DrAbeSacrabin

    We gotta get an offensive strategy, this ISO ball shit isn’t gonna work in the playoffs.

  8. foye2smith

    Good lord, Ant. That was the most selfish gunning game in a week that included KAT going for 62.

  9. HowlAtTheSky

    Always good to get a win. Going to have to make a move before the deadline or be active with buyout guys

  10. Richnsassy22

    Look, I’m just gonna enjoy a win.

    The offense is what it is, and it’s probably not gonna get fixed by the playoffs. I’m choosing to live in the moment and enjoy the ride.

  11. radagast_the_maroon

    We need to fix the dumb turnovers ASAP

  12. Gyroflex

    these 4th quarter offenses are becoming a massive massive concern. nothing has gotten better its just the exact same standing around

  13. I never want to watch basketball like the second half again.

  14. DeanEvasonPunch

    Why was D-Wade looking like Frozone lol

  15. BalambTransfer

    Man I don’t care how ugly that was. Winning against that referee job in the 4th was a great win.

  16. WitchofFloyd

    And just like that, the Wolves are #1 in the West again

  17. EsotericPotato

    I’m not sure if the team is broken rn or they just aren’t taking things seriously or what, but things look really really REALLY fucking bad. Like this has not been an enjoyable product for a month now, and it’s the same types of issues every night.

    Ant is getting way too fuckin comfortable jacking up that mid range shot. It’s just not a good shot to base your game on.

  18. MinneEric

    LIGHT THE LIGHT! (It won’t let me post a video of my light😔)

  19. GZAofTheMidwest

    We had 60 points at half. Finished with 96. Woof.

  20. AlligatorPoontang

    Should’ve been a much easier win but man it’s nice to see the basketball gods punish foul baiting

  21. Bigchonky3

    Nets 96-94 W

    Putting this here until I feel like the Wolves have a record matching their talent in 2024

  22. Johnnymac98

    Ant’s had a rough stretch and it’s fair to criticize him for the ISO ball but goddamn so many of yall turn on our franchise player so fucking fast in the game thread calling him trash, overrated, fraud. Y’all need to sit the fuck down for that

  23. yourloudneighbor

    Best in the west, thanks for keeping the seat warm, thunder

  24. evan_334

    Ugly ugly fourth quarter but hey we closed out the second half of a back to back. Still gotta address these fourth quarter woes and as much as I respect what he’s done defensively Finch has gotta take some accountability here on the other end. With how bad Ants shot looked down the stretch we should not see this much isolation ball from him.

  25. XAgentNovemberX

    Fuck it, Rudy is down there somewhere. -The Wooves

  26. Vaddy2323

    ANT saw DWade in the crowd and tried to go crazy, almost sold us….

  27. Absolute joke of a performance from Ant. But we’ll take the win

    Ant shot iq is disturbing and im scared come playoff time he’s going to break down

    Kyle Anderson once again holding us back

    Kat with a very efficient night and bounce back since charlotte

    This team desperately needs a bench guard that can score and facilitate with high iq

  30. xanzpatrie

    What a relief when that free throw was missed

  31. Coolkiddddddddd

    Any letting that mj stuff get to his head

  32. DiabolicalToast

    If we don’t start figuring this offense out quickly, we’re going to be in big trouble. It’s been bad all season, but the last couple weeks have been the worst it’s ever been. I’m quickly losing faith in Finch’s ability to fix it.

  33. panamacityparty

    Edwards 8-23

    Towns 12-15

    Edwards calls off Towns in the last possession then airballs it.

  34. JonnyTable

    It is weird how our starters just completely stop moving in the 4th quarter on offense, no cuts at all. Stark conrast when Mclaughlin and bench comes in and it’s pure cutting and ball movement.

  35. Zizbouze

    I am the only one tripping about the refs hating on Kat & Rudy so much? Kat every refs, but Rudy it was specially with one of the refs tonight He(Rudy) even pointed at him and looked extremely frustrated. That yell after the dunk was for a shoutout to this bullshit ref fr !

    Edit : the ref in question is JOSH TIVEN #58

  36. pnxstwnyphlcnnrs

    NGL those refs were gunning for that +4. Defensive 1.25 seconds joke call on Rudy was so blatant.

  37. the_fsm_butler

    Am I insane, or was that reffing borderline cheating? One trip to the line for Kat.

    edit: btw, I’m totally open to the idea that I’m too much of a homer to see that it wasn’t that bad, but it really felt egregious tonight

  38. le_sweden

    Nice game from KAT. Still terrible offensive flow. Not sure what the solution is
