19/11/7 from Ant. Point Ant is starting to look real.
Rivers and Naz were both huge tonight too.
Severely undermanned and gutted out a gritty win. Hopefully we can keep up this effort going forward.

AUSTIN RIVERS GAME LETS GO BABY
Naz Reid
Happy with that. Really felt like the wolves of old tbh, a weirdly refreshing game. Also:
Naz Reid
Naz Reid
That was… a basketball game.
Everybody shoots 1000 free throws at the next practice
Its simple
Wolves back
Bahm bahm bahm bahm bahm
bom bom bom
bom bom bom
bom bom bom BAHM
Bahm bahm bahm bahm bahm
bom bom bom
bom bom bom
bom bom bom BAHM
**đ¶Aus-tin Ri-vers!!**
We won!!!
Ugly win > any kind of loss. I’ll take it I guess.
Also, Naz Reid.
I donât understand being so down after a win to close a HORRIBLE road-trip being down 5 of our top 8 players in the rotation. It was a good win
Naz Reid
Obviously time to trade away Ant, Rudy, and Kat to build around Naz.
Naz
Itâs clear as day that ant and kat play better without gobert on the court at the same time, I mean ant has even came out and told us âItâs hard to drive when everyone is in the paintâ why didnât we listen? I thinK DLo is fine with ant and kat, dlo is there for when ant is playing to passive and keeps passing it up.
Ant needs to shoot like 1000 free throws after the game
Great rebounding, active hands, fun energy.
It does not matter what lineup we put out there, it seems we are incapable of not shitting the bed in the 3rd quarter. I wonder what the talk in the locker room has been about our 3rd quarter collapses, theyâve gotta be talking about it.
Happy with the way Ant and Nowell played. Took a lot of responsibility tonight. Naz played great. I just wish him and Ant wouldn’t miss so many FTs
Takeaways:
1) Rivers’ best game.
2) Among non-centers, Jaylen Nowell has got to be top 10 in attempted floaters in the paint.
I am also rather sure that he is in the bottom 10 in how many of them he actually makes.
3) Naz Reid.
4) Well done overall given how everybody was out. I especially miss JMac
That’s Timberwolves basketball baby. Would have been moreso if we’d lost but still.
Iâd like to say cheering on this team keeps me feeling young. But tonight. They aged me 2 years.
Ant with some BIG plays on defense down the stretch. You absolutely LOVE to see it!
We really gotta practice our freethrows. Is it just more or does it seem like Ant’s shooting form at the line is inconsistent?
NAZ REID
10-3 on the season in “clutch” games. I dont think it is ideal to get both beat on the boards only take 25 3 pointers in your small ball lineup. The zone worked good tonight and the Wolves forced a ton of turnovers but this team needs to find a way to get healthy fast.
Big vet presence from Austin Rivers tonight
I just want to thank the players and team for this game. I haven’t enjoyed really any games this season until just now.
Trade everyone that didn’t play today. I don’t care. This was fun and I would gladly watch them win or lose playing like this with these guys all season.
Naz^REID
OKC are alright. Reckon they cash some picks in the off-season for some solid vet role players and theyâre away. Hard to not like them! They play hard, not dirty players, young dudes. Good team.
That was a fun game. I think I enjoyed it because I’ve half given up on the season and had low expectations for this one
Naz Reid
Seriously Naz is a starter if he improves his 3 ball. Defense has greatly improved. Can tell he puts the work in.
Rives with 5 steals. Nice!
trade gobert
Please donât play Forbes
I think we should abolish the 3rd quarter in basketball
HERE COMES AUSTIN RIVERS
