Anthony Edwards
Excited for the season Ant took a bit to get back to speed but looked electric and then another great KAT game
One side had Naz Reid, the other didn’t is basically what it came down to.
Leonard Miller
Abu Dhabi champions, hang the banner!
Team looks like they know how to play together much better than they did last year. WMJ looks more composed but still a fringe bench dude. Minnot still raw. Millers shot looks much better than it did in summer league. Great first couple games
Naz Reid
Naz 6moty this year
Rudy is looking great
I am scared of your team this season they look great – OKC fan
Could you guys imagine an alternate reality where we DONT take Ant at 1? That would be hell
My main takeaway from this game is that I was correct for not liking Grant Williams
Need to rebound better, that’s my big thing.
We look AWESOME! Not that we’re perfect, but just really encouraging stuff from the first and second units. I’m so pumped for this year!!
Didnt watch. Are those foul on KAT like bad calls or not. That is plenty of fouls in 17 mins of play
Would have liked to be better on the boards. You gotta like the way the team has played on offense and defense. Among the expected rotation guys know their job and are playing fluid. Loved what I saw from Moore and Miller they looked like NBA players which is a good sign when the opportunity comes they can rise to the occasion.
Saw that ridiculous sequence in the 2Q with a beautiful Rudy block immediately followed by a Rudy dunk, then a JMac 3, then the Rudy push shot, and I immediately started chugging the Kool-Aid. Wolves back, baby.
Good to see the end-of-bench brigade get to take on the Dallas second string, truly wild what little garbage time they got last year. Curious to see more from our “big body with playmaking” training campers / 15th-man lotto entrants, but hilarious that today’s obvious stand-out was the 6′ 7″ guy. Also Matt Ryan you’re on thin ice buddy.
Awoooodhabi!!!
How did the players on trial look?
Anyone worth the final spot? Or do we have any updates on how they do in training sessions?
Leonard Miller the secret bench weapon Finch is gonna release in the playoffs against those 6 foot 6 4s.
Just cancel the season and give us the Finals trophy already
