They almost won at Michigan last year. As for those complaining about assistant coaches, would you rather be paying ~3-4 million per year for Ciarrocca and Rossi? Their teams are sitting a combined 1-9 in the B1G.

The Wolves lost at home, at full strength, in mid March last season to a depleted Pacers team after an 8 game winning streak. That team was missing: Siakam Haliburton Turner Nesmith It was an ugly win, but it was a win without Ant against a team we were 0-2 against last season.

I think I jinxed it because scattered showers are now possible throughout the day on Saturday in Iowa City. Clouds and a few showers would hold temps in the low 50s. SE wind around 10 mph, with a few gusts to 15-20.

Not as much as everyone is making it seem. They scored 118 against a good defensive team. The biggest issue for the Wolves last night was their D in the first 3 quarters.

DDV struggled with the ball in his hands in the 1st half and was benched for it. Most of the rest of the TOs were just dumb passes in the half court offense and had little to do with PG play. Holiday and Sharpe had 4 TO's a piece, the same as Ant. Was Portland's PG play some of the worst...

Ant is going to be your primary ball handler and it will rotate between him, DDV, Randle, and McDaniels. I have no issues with starting two combo guards. When DDV was at his best in NY, he was starting. Naz and TSJ will be the primary scorers off the bench. I don't think Dillingham plays that...

Yeah he did those things. The 'two minutes of lowlights' not shown are why they lost the game. 🤡

TSJ has always been a scorer. He's good on D too. In limited action, TSJ shot 36% from 3 last season. Clark 43%. If Juzang couldn't make it for 3 years on one of the worst teams in the NBA, he's not going to be counted on for depth on one of the deepest teams in the NBA. He has a 2-way...

It will be perfect on Saturday. I don't even know why I started this thread.

Good team analysis and why I think the Wolves should be a top 2-3 team in the west. OKC could also have injury issues with Jalen Williams starting the season injured and Chet has been injury prone. I don't think they are a lock to repeat or even finish 1 in the west. I'm not very concerned...

I disagree. He's a freak physically and already has 7 sacks.

I also watched him quite a bit at SDSU and the quicker Leidner comparison is good. I think Mitch was a little better passer though.

I disagree that we have no starting caliber PG, we do, and that't didn't prevent us from making the WCF the last two seasons. Plus we have many options to play that role. I completely disagree that other top contenders made serious upgrades. You're ignoring what they lost, and the age/injury...
