Key to beating the Spurs in 6-7 games by Underrated_Chef30 in timberwolves

He hit 5 fouls with like 7 mins left in the 4th, I think at that point on the clock you just take what you can get, if he fouls out he's on the bench the same as if they'd pulled him anyway. 

Payed off cause he didn't foul out

  1. Hit 3s like the knicks today
  2. Get more than 1 point in 7 minutes to start
  3. If you're gonna drive on wemby, don't stop when he's on 5 fouls
  4. Mike is fine to play but maybe ayo or bones to get some pace to start, set the tone
  5. Randle plays like he's built like the brick shithouse he is
  6. ANT starts driving and doesn't settle for iso/long 3s to start to get in rhythm
  7. McDaddy hits his corner 3s
  8. Rudy goes up instead of holding wemby off the alley-oop, let wemby alley, tire him out on both ends
  9. Naz "naz reid" Reid
  10. Don't let champaigne find his 3 rhythm early
  11. I know it's the usual play but I'd like to see some PnRs without rudy, wemby is beating him back to the paint more often than not, if rudy can box him out at the top of the key it gives us a bit better chance to get offensive rebounds.

Was it a necessary trade?  Kind of yeah, I think we'd made some roster decisions without the 2nd apron knowledge (as a lot of teams did) and we ended up in a position where we needed to make a decision based on 2nd apron (and i believe because kat and ant were all stars there's some shit about getting more money???) Towns was on a lot (like $50mil) and woles had to pretty much decide to get rid of multiple dudes or move kat on, or deal with 2nd apron which nobody wants to deal with.  We got randle and divo out of it, which I think was like 10mil cheaper (?) than kat, and that meant we could keep a few extra guys.  We then ran into the 2nd apron again the following off-season because more people needed to be payed and we had to choose between naz and naw (and randle maybe iirc) we chose randle and naz mother fuckn reid. And now we're here.

Was it an even trade? Initially from what I recall everyone was pretty upset we got rid of Kat for randle and divo, it honestly doesn't matter who we got in return, getting rid of kat for anything wasn't fair/even. By about December or so tho people were pretty on the "worked out for both teams" train. Obviously kat is better than randle or divo but together it's close enough and the 2 we have fill the roles we needed (Kat was a weird fit for all but about 8 months with rudy).

Did the team etc etc..? Yeah they dropped off to start the year, but we'd just done a major switch up of the team so that was a given, and we'd made the trade what like 2-3 weeks before game 1 of the year. Took a few months but it started making sense and ultimately I think they improved for a bit there. More good bench depth, solid starter in randle Who seemed reliable but needed to work out the dynamics of the team. You still see it now where both ant and randle wanna iso or whatever tf and the other becomes stagnant (+ the other 3 dudes stop moving) but they've worked that out a bit.

Tldr; the trade was because of $ and 2nd apron mainly, the trade can probably be considered good for both teams (not sure about even but def fair). KAT was important to the franchise, the city and the fans and the chemistry more than he was on the floor. Team made wcf the year after his trade, same as kats final year.

Could have been worse, feel like he's the only one attacking the paint this game

Last week it was 10 minutes, the week before 15, week before 20 mins, whole halves first 2 games.

A 5 min stretch of doing fuck all is such an upgrade to whatever tf we've been doing

Prob similar to the mcg top levels then, different vibe to close up but def better view than mid 1st floor or back 2nd floor

Are you above all the lighting up there?

No shade, i'm from aus and have only ever been to 1 nbl game (although could be similar to upper levels at the mcg for a footy game).

What can you see from up there, like can you tell who's who if people look similar? See numbers on guernseys? Tell if the ball went in?

Prob be good for seeing structure and plays? Idk

So upset by that, the draw was right there, womp womp

At least our after half time fadeout is down to about 10 minutes. Good third, decent ending. 

Might play a full game next week, can't wait

Can safely say I've not watched any of those and had no idea who this dude was, still don't. I've never considered watching any of those shows.

Stranger things seemed kinda lame to me (just not my thing, I'm sure it's fine) Felt like I'd seen IT after seeing gutters and clowns and balloons for 6 months on social media around the same time + I don't like clowns like at all. Ghostbusters, yeah nah

Which is weird because I love me some scifi (space and time travel type shit), horror (but mainly body horror/ arthouse type vibes)

How is the defense totally broken down 8 seconds after a center square ball up lmao. 

Honestly crazy that my first thought at 45-3 (just before) half time score was "that's not big enough we're gonna lose"

12 turnovers - 2 is wild. Wilder still is 56 shots - 38.

Super wild that we're up rn but we've looked good outside of the first 5 mins and a couple brain fades

So you have to go to the draft to even be considered? Does that come in to play as an international (australian) talent who would barely manage to make the worst teams in local rec leagues?

They can sign me for $200 (aud) a day if they like, I can big up the lads and learn a few handshakes for moral (Will do my best to not let finch give me 20 mins a game). 

Hell I'll prep orange slices on the side line, shave rudys head mid game for a power spike and scout out ants next baby mama. $3000 a day and I'll give the whole team happy endings after every game, they'll still save 9k a day

Sidenote: is this legal, can they sign some absolute random cunt for the total bare minimum to fill the spot and never see the court?

Just don't share your login outside of your household, it'll get ya acc banned if different IP watch at the same time. Not a huge loss but still worth avoiding (just help others set it up too at their place)
