NAW brings such grit.

The worst stretch of defense I’ve seen for the wolves in some time

McDaniels with 3 quick is really frustrating

I want to be an insect on the wall in the Wolves halftime locker room

Defense is about communication and effort Rebounding is intensity and effort There’s a pattern here

So…. What’s good? 🐜 offensively is seeking more touches in second. Good. After that ….. 🦗 for rest of team

GDI Randle. Rebound!!!

As many have hypothesized NAW is likely to be a mid-season trade target. That will make me sad if he is traded - no matter if it’s the right deal. And it probably will be from a team formation standpoint

I was hoping to get under 10 at halftime, but t’was not to happen

So this is when I go in front of the team and ask them “Did your way of playing work?” And after the silence becomes uncomfortable, we remind the team of the 3 things we want them to do

It’s one half. But I’m really interested to see how the Wolves react to this half

This remains ugly basketball

Randle doesn’t have the skill, awareness, or willingness to play off of 🐜. And he doesn’t rebound. So he has to be moved to the second unit where he can be prime option

NAZ helping out. AD setting out his boundaries. And Randle looks awful

Didn’t Randle hit his first F/T?

Naz making the difference on offense NAW and Jaden are in defense Effort makes a difference

Having Randle in right now deeply disappoints me

The question of whether KAT defends AD much better than anyone else on the Wolves Roster has to be ringing in your ears right now. And then think about guarding a certain Nugget.

I’m not encouraged by anything in tonight’s game. The KAT Trade - on the floor - made the team worse on the floor. Maybe it helps on the spreadsheet. Naz starts. Naw first guard off bench. Tonight was discouraging.

Good Night Wolves fans. I’m quite concerned that the flaws displayed tonight are not “one-offs”. Absent a very focused look-in-the-mirror session by a number of players, tonight suggests a very average at best season
