5 years down the road Phill will be celebrating a trade of Ant for Jordan Poole and Kuzma because they are dogs… and don’t get me started with the Ant tribute video. I don’t have 90 seconds to spare for an all time team great
I don’t think ant understands how much juice he puts in his opponent when he showboats after very mediocre plays. I think it takes away his intimidation factor and makes him look like a joke while also energizing the other team to put him in his place
Donte played his best game so far. But that final few minutes was an exercise in failure. They could not execute the plays they wanted to run. Ja made some amazing shots, and the wolves made mistakes.
Did you guys actually watch the game? How are you forgetting Ant flipping off the official was after they called him for a tech for flexing on the bench after Goberts dunk. Just flexing happy for Rudy and they gave him a tech on the bench. Agreed he shouldn't flip off the refs and needs to mature, but the tech was uncalled for.
TRANSLATION: “I don’t want to talk about Ant’s immaturity. Besides, he started it 😝. If it wasn’t for the horrible ref, none of this would of happened 😠 😭. And no, I’m not excusing Ant’s behavior. But like…it’s like…. Totally the refs fault 😤.” 👌
Not sure if you guys talked about the Grizzly's and amazingly their coach has 2 rookies in the line up and they are winning. Wow! I didn't know that is something that was allowed in the NBA. In general, I am for rookies sitting, however when you can't get the winning thing going all secure line ups should not be secure when you have some legitimate talent waiting in the wings.
I understand why the contract had to be moved. But man how nice would it be moving Gobert instead of KAT? Yeah we probably end up around league average defensively over the course of a season but it would be a very finely tuned offense. I think Gobert and any positive impact begins to decline year over year from this year and forward.
Yup, unfortunately, Connelly would never trade Gobert as he gave up all those picks for him. While I'll enjoy last year so much, the Gobert trade put us in this luxury tax mess.
Ant definitely lacks maturity and people need to quit egging it on as him being “genuine and authentic”. Also, what is Connelly’s plan? From what I see, he pretty much closed the championship window for this team. You need a second star to compete and if you don’t think Julius is that guy who else will you get? Teams want draft picks for guys like that and we have pretty much none to give.
It's about time to start calling out Ant for his maturity. Whether going rogue in last game or commenting in post game interview that "It's not how I want to play, I'm only 23, I don't wanna just be passing the ball all night.” This guy's ego needs to be checked FAST before we have a total prima donna on our hands that demands to be traded by the end of the season.
That next 3 game win streak gonna hit like dope in the 80s 😊 But really if Finch benches ANT & Randle & puts in Reid Conley & Donte to close out that game we win
apart from ant being lackadaisical down the stretch can we talk about how bad his defense was in the entire 4th quarter? he let scottie pippen jaylen wells and ja drive right past him at least 5 times for easy baskets or easy passes to the big for a bucket, he was awful on both ends
I still don't understand why Ant who's good as he is even having been compared to MJ....why it bothers him to death when he's double teamed? It comes with the territory and the best who've ever played didn't flinch at double teams eg. MJ, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Lebron...if he's going to be any close to those guys he's got to find a way like they did
Randle + our Detroit 1st rounder for Brandon Ingram (expiring) I think makes a lot of sense, especially if Pelicans blow it up and trade Zion to another team too.
@@humanbeing6530 or Brogdan and Jonas Valančiūnas from the wizards. I think they have an open roster spot and could take back 2. More maturity is good.
If the goal is to trade Randle for an expiring contract then a trade for Ingram would work. Pels have been trying to trade him all season and he is a forward that slots in. Both tend to play isolation ball.
Remember when KAT would get emotionallly unhinged and would unravel during a game? Look what's still happening and KAT isn't even here now to blame 🤣I'm glad you're finally calling out Ant for being his age... the offense was really good most of the game except the last 3 minutes and became the usual lame, dribble dribble, tough shot. It's still starting to bite back HARD - not enough Josh Minott or TJ... hopefully Rob gets more playing time after he comes back. Running out of time
I think the FA we need to go after is Tyus Jones. I think he might be the best option and fit next to Edwards. I'm OK with trade Jaden (and Randle) so we can keep Naz.
Nobody's gonna actually come out and say it? Ant hasn't lived up to expectations. When you're the face of the franchise, there's a new standard that is placed on your shoulders, and he's not meeting that standard. He's about the same level as he was last year. He improved his three point game, where's the inside game? He's not getting points when his three ball isn't working this year, and he just chucks them even when he's cold. Frustrating shit to watch.
The human brain is not fully developed until you each the age of 25/26 years old. Ant is immature and has some growing up to do. The good news is he is 23. The bad news for fans is we got a whiff of success by overachieving and getting to the WCF last year. This team is still a couple years away from the team that will truly threaten for a championship.
Saturday was going to be the best game of the year, hands down, but unfortunately, Edwards is looking like a loser. It's too cold in Minnesota for the NBA, this might be the end.
How do you guys not mention how other teams play rookies consistently except the Wolves? Jaylen Wells and Edey playing 25-30 mins a night and look around the league, rookies at least get a chance to make mistakes or get better. I understand that he is injured but do we really think he would be getting minutes even if he was healthy? Finally, how in the hell do you keep Terrance Shannon Jr. from playing any minutes? I really don’t understand, dude is 23 years old and let him go play. Brings energy and slashing off the ball which the Wolves desperately need.
It's a Finch thing. For whatever reason, he will not play those guys whatsoever. It's maddening. 💯 They could bring some energy off the bench with Minot! SMH.
I'm all for the athletes making all the money they can but let's put things into perspective. If you or I get fine for $290k we are done, just think about that. If $200 millions gets dropped in my lap I'm quiting my job. We wonder why these athletes doesn't seem to care about the game?
Something is wrong with edwards this season he doesn't haven't had the winning vibe as he had last season. He's been so imature. It's a karl anthony towns 2.0
Don't complain about rebounds when you trade away the best rebounder this season. Finch will never hold the players accountable. And you can't talk about Dave being the bright side in a Kat trade when he's not even an all-star and not that much better than NAW to absorb how bad the trade was. TC or whoever told him to make the trade should be fired. Skor seems to think that TC subverting expectations is somehow a good thing. he's been covering his Rudy mistake since he got here. Just be honest and admit that TC is a horrible short sided GM. "TC this is why he makes 8 million dollars a year" wtf does that mean? He made this mess, he's not somehow the answer.
Dont like Randle on this team but trading for an expiring contract make this team even less talented next year. They traded Gobert for how many first round picks and then traded KAT for DDV and a protected pick. Im sorry but thats terrible business by the POBO!
Ya because MJ never was cussing out officials, because KG wasn’t cussing all over the court, that’s some sawft shit guys! With that said I don’t think he should be moping around the court and acting like he’s checked out but still! When did it become a thing where you can’t use words during a basketball game!
….is ant the problem?….. besides his 3pt shot he’s not really progressed much. He also seems to have gotten more immature as things have unraveled. Not shown good leadership or growth overall.
This team is going no where! They have no identity, finch has ruined this team with his indecision in the roster changes. Look it simple RANDLE needs to go I don’t care if they are last afterwards. Edward’s has been totally circumvented by Grandle you know that fiendish character from monster Inc! I’m sick of this team and finch! They are going no where. Btw Judd finch only change the lineup for one week
I know you clowns don't want to acknowledge that Finch is overrated and he should not be the coach. I'm certain you are going to tap dance around that fact.
Towns is the most immature player in the NBA. JUST IMAGINE how much more immature the TWolves would be if Towns was still on the team. 🤔 Towns' immaturity CLEARLY still infects his old teammates
"Last season was fun, last season is done." is basically the theme of this season😅😅
That loss saturday night was a carbon copy of the 2022 grizzlies series
Oh snaps...
I know. That was the most frustrating series I've ever watched. When you lose just because you didn't rebound it means you just didn't care enough.
5 years down the road Phill will be celebrating a trade of Ant for Jordan Poole and Kuzma because they are dogs… and don’t get me started with the Ant tribute video. I don’t have 90 seconds to spare for an all time team great
I agree with Judd about the team being emotionally immature.
Yeaaa Kat had alot to do with that along with Ant being a baby in his family and still young.
Ants is immature, that’s the truth.
I don’t think ant understands how much juice he puts in his opponent when he showboats after very mediocre plays. I think it takes away his intimidation factor and makes him look like a joke while also energizing the other team to put him in his place
Julius Randle single handedly took our joy. If he’s here past February I’m officially done with this foolishness
It's not all Julius... this stuff existed before KAT left. It's rearing its ugly head.
Donte played his best game so far.
But that final few minutes was an exercise in failure.
They could not execute the plays they wanted to run.
Ja made some amazing shots, and the wolves made mistakes.
Ant playing around and dancing after simple baskets. He isn't focused
Did you guys actually watch the game? How are you forgetting Ant flipping off the official was after they called him for a tech for flexing on the bench after Goberts dunk. Just flexing happy for Rudy and they gave him a tech on the bench. Agreed he shouldn't flip off the refs and needs to mature, but the tech was uncalled for.

Ant got a tech for flexing on the sidelines after the Rudy dunk, that's why he flipped off the ref.
@@GooseOD that tech had some salt on it

Not only traded KAT vs Gobert.
We then GAVE Gobert an extension. That's what made me want to scream
Yup, unfortunately, Connelly would never trade Gobert as he gave up all those picks for him. While I'll enjoy last year so much, the Gobert trade put us in this luxury tax mess.
@@jamesonmiller7105 i get not trading Gobert but giving him a 4 year extension was CRAZY!!
Ant definitely lacks maturity and people need to quit egging it on as him being “genuine and authentic”.

Ant is irritated with randle he's just scared to fully show it
Just say it. Should not have traded KAT.
Just give it 20 games 😂
Yall please tell me why Rudy was in the game on the final play
Yea I don't know why Naz was pulled late in the 4th... Dude was a catalyst.
That was a lot of the reason that play was all pluggee up. Rudy was at 17' and his defender was in the lane. That doesn't happen with Naz.
Randle + Detroit 1st (or Utah 2nd) to Toronto for Brown (who may be resigned this summer for less than MLE) + Boucher . What do you think?
It's about time to start calling out Ant for his maturity. Whether going rogue in last game or commenting in post game interview that "It's not how I want to play, I'm only 23, I don't wanna just be passing the ball all night.” This guy's ego needs to be checked FAST before we have a total prima donna on our hands that demands to be traded by the end of the season.
Washington +650
And/or
Washington +14.5
Is a great play tonight.
Washington ML + Rams ML
Washington spread + Under 47.5
Perfect spot. 💯
You guys know the wolves been playing .500 basketball since their hot start (30 games) last season right? Yes with Kat.
That next 3 game win streak gonna hit like dope in the 80s 😊
But really if Finch benches ANT & Randle & puts in Reid Conley & Donte to close out that game we win
Unfortunately, Ant is learning from the wrong Olympics teammates. Not crossing half court is lebron favorite, playing help defense without the help 😂
Also (I hope I’m wrong) but I have a feeling the wolves are going to choose to keep Randle over Naz and Naw because of Finchys bromance with Julius.
apart from ant being lackadaisical down the stretch can we talk about how bad his defense was in the entire 4th quarter? he let scottie pippen jaylen wells and ja drive right past him at least 5 times for easy baskets or easy passes to the big for a bucket, he was awful on both ends
Was Ant flipping off the refs for the weird technical they gave him for flexing from the bench on that Conley to Rudy alley oop?
"Ping pong hands Gobert" 💀
I still don't understand why Ant who's good as he is even having been compared to MJ....why it bothers him to death when he's double teamed? It comes with the territory and the best who've ever played didn't flinch at double teams eg. MJ, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, Lebron...if he's going to be any close to those guys he's got to find a way like they did
Phil loves nothing more then calling people immature
I got a feeling the wolves will play the grizzlies in the first round this year
Randle + our Detroit 1st rounder for Brandon Ingram (expiring) I think makes a lot of sense, especially if Pelicans blow it up and trade Zion to another team too.
@@humanbeing6530 or Brogdan and Jonas Valančiūnas from the wizards. I think they have an open roster spot and could take back 2. More maturity is good.
I know we can still get the 4 or 5 seed, but it seems like we’re losing too many winnable games. Maybe this is who the wolves are this year.

The problem was the tribute to KAT. It's always his fault.
They play 4 games this week and end with the Knicks and Cavaliers. They could play great all 4 games and still easily end the week 1-3
Saturday was going to be the best game of the year, hands down, but unfortunately, Edwards is looking like a loser. It's too cold in Minnesota for the NBA, this might be the end.
It's simple. This team lacks discipline, and that's on Finch. Maybe it's too late, but he better start, or this isn't gonna change.
