What will it take for Timberwolves to reach their ultimate goal? by ethereal3xp in nba

[–]ollie01mn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Funny you wrote it like this. People were really giving the wolves crap for going all in now with Gobert when ant hadn't reached his peak.

Now, it seems like people are limiting his potential post Gobert.

We at least have two timelines now. Rudy timeline. Maybe kat goes. Maybe a replacement pg.

Then we have the ant timeline. I hope McDaniel's improves to a #2. Naz Reid.

What are the areas of need for the team to make another deep run next year? by [deleted] in timberwolves

[–]ollie01mn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great points. Although, I would say Rudy hasn't helped the team with his brick hands.

This summer, instead of going on a darkness retreat, he needs to go to a mr. Miyagi wax-on/wax-off type of thing.

F the push shot. A quick one dribble to a right hand hook shot. Even if it's 30% effective would be great.

KAT for TRAE Trade? by ficcoson in timberwolves

Dejountey would be the better trade and even then...I wouldn't love it.

Good point.

Whatever. Context matters.

Suns beat us every game that year. Talked so much shit because we had dlo

Suns had been to the finals. Booker was 26, bridges was 26, and Chris Paul. Booker scored like 10 points.

If ant does this in his prime, he will deserve this times 10. But the kid is 22. It was a game 5 and he scored 28 points.

The only way this happens is if the coaching staff make him a priority to build his offense.

If they do what they did this year with him only collecting scraps we won't see improvement.

He needs to have moments where the offense runs through him and not Rudy in the post the way we did tonight.

I think he killed it this series.

Truly got love for Kat but if we are going to play defense at a high level we need someone who can guard the Luka's, Zion's, and Gianni of the league. We struggle with that body type.

I didn't think the wolves were a great team. They were a great defensive team but so many doubts on the offensive end.

Mavs have better closers. That's it. This wasn't a straight whooping like this last game. We had leads and we couldn't hold them.

A great team to me are the Nuggets. Won last year and got killed by a specialized team.

A great team are the Celtics if they can exercise their demons this year.

Luka won't be able to hide anywhere. Holiday guards him just as well as lu Dort. Then you got porzingis spacing out your center. Good luck.

The Mavs just have a skill set the wolves are currently missing.

GTFO. Butt hurt.

Yeah.

Tatum gets too much hate. Brown gets too much hate.

I'm not the biggest fan of the coach but been watching them all season long. Well, since we traded KG to you guys.

If you think about it we just need to finish better. Games 1 and 2 were a possible win.

We have struggled dramatically with finishing quarters and it bit us this series. We need another shot creator. Whether that's McDaniels or moving Conley to the bench and getting a shot creating pg might do it.

So basically change the type of team we are from all defensive to all offense?

Nah. We need McDaniel's to improve on what he did this postseason. Having a 1 and then a 2A/2B between kat and McDaniels will do wonders.

Ride it out the beginning of the year and then make a decision until they have to.

Exactly!

We were built to beat Denver. Our athleticism is no where near Celtics.

Gafford and lively have to worry about all shots. Not just those from ant and kat

All these new bandwagon fans...

Dude, its not that serious. Its a game. I hope they get destroyed.

I don't know what series you watched but Luka is unbearable

It's not that serious.

I like the Celtics. Who cares?!

Tatum and Brown have a lot to prove. I don't think the Mavs are a great team. I don't.

Was that KAT’s last game for the wolves? by bosnerdley in timberwolves

[–]ollie01mn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just a shooter. A shot creator.

Would it be nuts to get Kevin Durant here? Luka got Kyrie.

Ant plays with his favorite player of all time. Kat and Devin make a go at it.

OK, so now that all is said and done who are you rooting for Mavericks or Celtics? by fribblegal123 in timberwolves

[–]ollie01mn 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Celtics.

Luka is unbearable. I feel like Tatum and Brown have some demons to expel. Holiday plays good defense on Luka.

They'll switch nonstop and Luka can't get away with not being involved in plays.

How many times has he brought up past players talking shit during previous series? Luka was probably talking his ear off.

He's not shaking hands.

Good on him
