@berserkmonk5331 kat doesn't fit the team that is based round gobert than mcdanields anchoring the defensive identity. To keep kat uve to move gobert n put kat at 5. But kat-naz aren't a great pairing either, so now uve to trade naz mcd n gobert. That's why kat had to go on a team construction basis
@@danielsharp3683 McD is fundamental to the defense but if his 3 doesnt start fallin, i think you're right, but who u going to get whos long, shoots 3, and can defend smalls to forwards?
@@thedoubtfuls the NBA is a scoring league Defense doesn't do it anymore you would honestly get more out of Leonard Miller right now than Jayden we have to have the scoring because we have a point guard that doesn't score and a center that doesn't score.I don't care about the Defense at all
@@danielsharp3683 well 23/24 wolves are the best statistical defensive team in history and made it to the conf finals, while no team makes the finals without being top 10 in both O and D. u want pure O, look at Kings, total shtshow after Derozan trade. miller is very raw, and cant defend the 1. if yr PG cant defend, u need yr 3 to do it, so that frees Ant up
Everyone needs to play better, but you seem to be zeroing in on one guy. Ant has played just as bad if not worse. He wanted the pressure, he was talking all that talk, now he needs to show up, no excuses for his play. The point guard is just another body on the floor. He isn’t doing much.
Even if he has bad shooting games .he tried to get everyone involved..they just cant hit shots..they suck..randle on other hand..droves qith his head down and loses the ball..hence his 7 TOs last night
Alsp randle DOES NOT SPACE THE FLOOR CAS HE CANT SHOOT. AND NOT A SHPOTING THREAT..SO THEY CLOSE IN ON ANT.. watch the games man..towns opened up the paint for him laat year..and rhey ciuldnr dpubke as much or towns will get the ball and score easily..now? There is no pther threat
@@Scar.Borough aren’t there 5 guys on the floor? The point guard is worthless. He responsible for the flow of the offense. He is not drawing any attention, he can’t shoot, he is just as bad as everyone else. It is not a Randle problem, the entire starting 5 is playing like crap.
Put SGA on the Wolves 🐺 with this same roster and we are 20-10. Sure it's not ideal for ANT, but it's his lack of understanding of how to manipulate the game that makes this even harder.
The officiating was actual horrible that game and moved the entire momentum. Jaden got in foul trouble for tik tak fouls while Gobert got hit in the face which is a flagrant and gave him a tech when he got frustrated with them. Gobert would average like 20ppg if they called the fouls right. Yes I know the struggle is the teams offense but there's a point I just look at the refs and realize why the players feel demoralized and frustrated.
agree. but the nuance of the game is, randle passes out when his post moves dont work, and takes 3s he knows he can make, and the team's O is centered rd randle. ant has ramped up his 3s which lowers his % and he commits to shots and takes them when things get hard, and the team is not ideal for him as constructed, w no space to drive, randle and gobert defenders are always there on help d.
In that Warriors game why did we take Ant off of Curry at the end of the game? He was guarding him for a few possessions and playing hard and fighting through screens. We lost because we couldn’t guard the Curry screen at all. Jaden couldn’t get past it to save his life.
It's driving me nuts! I don't understand why there's such a commitment to an 8 man rotation. You can't trim 2 minutes from everyone and give Rob 15 minutes? I'm tired of hearing about "oh the offense fell flat again" if only we had a guy on the bench that is a walking bucket and can playmake better than anyone else on the roster. "Oh well he's too small, he's gonna get killed on defense" well then why the f**K did you draft him? Did you think he was gonna grow 5 inches and put on 30 pounds? Let the kid play! Ariel Huckporti is averaging more minutes than the number 8 overall pick!!!! Rob would literally play more minutes on ANY other team in the NBA.
Brunson had no issues with Randle clogging the lanes and not spacing. IF YOU ARE THE NEXT OR CURRENT MJ, How can you not overcome? Oh, keep shooting 3s as you can't score as an elite playmaker.
The Timberwolves real problem is Finch! He never plays his rookies and you wonder why our starters get gas. Fire Finch already! Hes the reason why they traded kat because Finch cant coach!
As a Mavs fan, I loved the trade of Kat because of what they received. JR was only a potential all-star because he was a Knick. Plus the fact that AE is not being assertive as he can be… Lebron 2.0 imo
We need more Randle, Donte, Naz lineups when Julius is playing. Randle should really just play with that bench lineup instead of starting. Either that or move Mike down
It's the politics of it all. There's a real chance Randle just shuts down if he's benched. Twolves probably should move him, even if they have to take back some bad long term contract( like a Jerami Grant). Fit is a big issue with JR, and it has negatively affected Ant. Ant hardly dunks anymore, and has a harder time driving to the basket and breaking down defenses, and that's the negative spacing caused by swapping Kat for JR.
There's a lot of angst amongst the players except for Randle. I'm hearing uncharacteristic comments from people like Walker and Edwards. I'm pretty good at reading people but I don't think you need to be in this situation. This is just a bad fit and Ant is just clearly not mature enough yet to know how to handle somebody like Randle. Edwards needs to stop worrying about the officials and all the outside noise and just grind harder, go to the hole harder, play defense better, use basketball to take out your frustrations of the world on your opponents. Learn to do that every minute of every game and you will be the next star of the league. That's why Jordan and Kobe and those guys were so good. They knew how to deflect the madness of the outside world onto their opponents and on the court. I hope Ant can learn this from this season.
Play Rob dillingham, have Terrance Shannon Jr, come off the bench. Offensive problems, solved. Have Edwards play stretches without Randle. It’s all too easy. Chris finch is dumb, and he’s wasting this team. And ruining the careers of 2 talented rookies.
Potential 4 team trade: NUGGETS GET: Zach Lavine TWOLVES GET: Terry Rozier Dario Saric Kevin Love BULLS GET: Michael Porter Jr. Duncan Robinson Vlatko Cancar HEAT GET: Julius Randle Coby White
"I rather 20mins of cranky julius randle than 36mins of cranky julius randle" 😂 ben, in years of listening to u, thats the funniest thing youve said
Let's go Knicks! Thanks Minnesota we owe you!
You're welcome. But no sense celebrating before the playoffs. If they lose 1st or 2nd round are you still thanking us?
@@weights250dont worry bout them, Knicks aint winning anything lol
!!!! Start Randle at center is better .
Wasnt there a trade scenario where the Twolves could have kept Kat and traded Mcdaniels instead?

McDaniels is a one way player that cannot score I would trade him immediately and get a scoring Forward

That’s a nice lead the bench got us, be a shame if we… put the starters back in 😈
Can you imagine having the most arrogant, talk too much, fake mj with 0 BBall IQ leading a sad wolves team? Lul. Just sad

Nope.. he draws attention and kicks out..and they missssssssss

Running out of gas is an excuse. Team chemistry is poor.
At this point, I'm guessing Ant will force everything after the 1st quarter
Well at least we saved a lot of money getting rid of Kat.😂
They had no choice ..they were going to lose at least one of the big guys or 2 or 3 of the small guys either way that's why they call it a salary cap
@@danielsharp3683it seems like they traded for a player that nobody wants. Let’s see if he’s trade-able.

Randle coming off the bench would work better. Naz starting
How is Anthony Edwards much more efficient than Julius Randle?? Who has the higher true shooting this year?

They are wasting his development

Yes they are ...your right and Criss Finch has no clue how to manage it
Trade Randall now dammit
Euh…where is the defense gone? The attack sucks, alright, but man, 90 for six games and now…pfff….
Anthony Edward can't pass the ball, he doesn't shoot 50%, he doesn't have a good IQ. Why is he overrated?
Are you new to the nba?
Bro talk too much too. Like what has bro done? Lulz. Why you think Kerr keeps benching him on team USA lolol. RIP
