Is this a dream?
These aren’t your grand papi’s wolves anymore
Pretty impressive especially since the hawks just shot nearly 100% on us it felt like
I know its only 4 games but it feels like this is clear progression from steady progress they made in the half court with the 2 bigs last year. Add a healthy Rudy and Kat for the first time and I think we could still have the #1 half court defense after 82 games. Overall defensive rating will come down to if they can keep teams from running on them like Toronto did but against teams that don’t run as much we are already absolutely a top 3 defense. Offense remains an open question.
Just wait until the shots start falling.
Truly believe we are winning the chip this year and everyone is going to eat crow about the gobert trade and KAT
I could not be more hyped for tonight. I want to see us hold the jazz to 76
