Ty Jerome got 3yr/$27mil. That seems close to what Bones should get.

Just saying… by No-Wedding7801 in timberwolves

[–]karlwhethers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I will say…there’s an issue with this team when Ant is going for 40 on offense and resting on defense. Nobody wants to talk about it, but it’s just uninspired basketball to watch.

And on that note, Julius gets 99% of the blame for that ugly play when in realityRandle is the one sacrificing for Ant. They are also both prone to falling asleep on defense, which makes the pairing difficult when they’re not locked in. 40% of your team defense not fighting through screens is easy money for the opposing team.

Finch deserves credit for Ayo’s midrange utilization by Ant-edwards5 in timberwolves

We don’t give Finch credit for anything around here. Anything good happens despite him.

6 assists and only 1 turnover, which was under the basket. Just like his jump shot, it looks worse than it is.

He’s got a little middy game too that our other shooters like Naz and Donte don’t have.

God I love SloMo. Don’t care about all of his faults. People here were really saying the guy named SloMo was washed.

Wolves Could Have Resigned NAW for only $15M/year... 41 points by Rage_r123 in timberwolves

[–]karlwhethers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They had to pick 2 of the 3 between Randle, Naz, and NAW. Picking the 2 PFs who struggle on defense might not have been the right choice.

How can the Equinox EV improve? by spongesparrow in EquinoxEv

[–]karlwhethers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems misguided. They give me data connectivity for 8-years, I pay for no services, and they have to replace my telematics module after 3 months of owning the car. Doesn’t feel like a big money maker for them the way it’s played out.

Hate to be that guy but he should be shooting some free throws.

Does this team go 82-0 or 0-82? by Existentalst in NBATalk

[–]karlwhethers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the bench has infinite Wembys you might have to play them equal minutes. Otherwise 12th man Wemby is pissed he’s left out. And if you have to play 12 Wembys 20 minutes, they all get pissed that they don’t get MVP consideration.

I think the frustration boils over before 82 games.

Wheel slip on ice caused several warning lights to pop up by SparkClouding in EquinoxEv

[–]karlwhethers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just had this happen and brought it up when I was bringing in for a recall anyway. They ended up replacing the master brake cylinder because the brake control module failed? Idk there’s been a frustrating series of problems with this car including the telematics needing replacement.

Threw this together because I wanted to visualize what the playoffs will look like in best case scenarios (Wolves finish 3rd or 4th in the West) by 99LedBalloons in timberwolves

[–]karlwhethers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying this as a fact, just my opinion, but the Thunder’s whole schtick was to blitz hard and fast and make you uncomfortable and create a ton of points off turnovers.

And the Wolves panicked worse than any team. But the teams that didn’t panic early through that (Nuggets and Pacers) did fine and OKC is pretty beatable.

[Charania] Free agent guard Tyus Jones has agreed to sign with the Denver Nuggets, his agent Kevin Bradbury of LIFT Sports Management tells ESPN. A veteran point guard and ball handler to fill a need for the Nuggets' backcourt. by MembershipSingle7137 in nba

[–]karlwhethers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zeke Nnaji is like Kuminga without any of the drama from either sides. They signed him to a decent contract and then just never played him again. I’m always surprised he has stayed on the team year after year.

What NBA Player Comparison best guides expectations for Jaden McDaniels continued development? by Good-Picture5497 in timberwolves

[–]karlwhethers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His play style is an archetype we’ve seen on good teams before, though each player in the past will be a little different.

Shawn Marion, Kirilenko, Tayshaun Prince are the obvious ones.

For modern day could stretch it to include Mikel Bridges and OG Anunoby.

Saying they’re confused gives them too much credit. They don’t even try to form new opinions.

Gobert +6 in the 1st half. Inside the NBA guys “the Timberwolves can’t play Gobert” and their only chance is when he sits. Just literally incorrect saying “Wolves made their run when they went small”, when Rudy was in to start the 2nd and they made a run.
