Easy schedule, but in years past they lost a good chunk of their games to easy games

This does remind me of a thought I've had on the NBA this season. Maybe I'm the only one that is thinking this, but does the NBA seem really lacking in good teams this year?

Kinda of a bad time to discuss expansion. Already feels watered down

There are a lot of really bad teams in the NBA this year. The Wolves have had an easy schedule, but it's still only the 12th hardest the rest of the way.

Hardest remaining schedule - OKC
#2 - Denver
#4 - Spurs
 


Collin Sexton would be a great fit on the Wolves' roster. A trade for him would make the team a strong competitor to earn a top 4 seed.
 


Late one tonight. Johnson, Braun and Gordon still out.
McDaniels listed as questionable.
Spurs visit OKC in an afternoon game.
Spurs look healthy. OKC with Dieng, Jaylin Williams and Mitchell out.
 








Wow. Great comeback to force OT. 9-0 run to start and then Ant and company lost their cool and choked it away.
 


91 points given up to two players.

Holy Schit, nice defense

Finchy.............double teams might be an option.
 










Shannon out for tonight.
Conley and Edwards are questionable.

Edit: Dillingham now questionable and appears Edwards and Conley available.

Edit to the edit: looks like Dillingham is a go. Shannon going to be re-evaluated in a couple of weeks. Foot injury.

They don't have the foot speed or athleticism.

I see them making multiple trades, so I'm looking for that.

As someone posted earlier..........you can't play Naz and Randle together. It's horrific defense with that.

Naz might be the worst defender I've ever seen in a wolves uniform, and there has been a lot of scit over the years.

Is Ant playing any defense?

He seems happy. Not sure Naz getting all that money was the right move. He’s a luxury item for a great team not a crucial role piece on a good team. Having NAW as opposed to Naz would change this team for the better.

Edit to your edits 🥴: They peaked losing in the WC finals and it wouldn’t surprise me to see a first round bounce this year.

I don’t think 🐜 realizes it’s part of his job as the franchise player to wake everyone the heck up and not accept mediocrity; comparing him to Jordan, was the biggest joke ever.

🐜 ain’t got no 🐶 in him.

Ant is much more the supportive hype man kind of star. Problem is some of these guys need the frying version.

That all said, people hate on Finch like he doesn’t motivate them or something, but ffs you all are being paid millions to play a game. There is no excuse not to be locked in, especially against a team you should paste. I get nights shots won’t fall and stuff, but last night was effort and on nights like that, someone (preferably Ant) needs to lay into people for not doing it. That comes from the players. All their leaders are passive types in this regard so they need ant to be that or find someone ant vibes with who can do it

We need a Rick Mahon/Udonis Haslem, mean azz old vet, who’ll check anyone, including 🐜, and give you five minutes of growling on the floor, when the loaders are loafing, like last night.

One reason why I thought CP3 would be a good pickup.
