    Excited for the season Ant took a bit to get back to speed but looked electric and then another great KAT game

  2. Next-Firefighter-753

    One side had Naz Reid, the other didn’t is basically what it came down to.

  3. 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

  4. Next-Firefighter-753

    I am scared of your team this season they look great – OKC fan

  5. Could you guys imagine an alternate reality where we DONT take Ant at 1? That would be hell

  6. SnarfSniffsStardust

    My main takeaway from this game is that I was correct for not liking Grant Williams

  7. le_sweden

    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!!

  8. tulaero23

    Didnt watch. Are those foul on KAT like bad calls or not. That is plenty of fouls in 17 mins of play

  9. FlyingScissor

    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.

  10. 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.

    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?

  12. VikingsandWolves

    Leonard Miller the secret bench weapon Finch is gonna release in the playoffs against those 6 foot 6 4s.

  13. BoxingBear584

    Just cancel the season and give us the Finals trophy already
