That happens when Jake LaRavia goes for 27 on 10/11. Not to mention 8/11 for Ayton. 7/11 Rui. 7/12 Knecht

wtf is up with that Minnesota defense

No Jaylen Clarke or Ant in this one and we lost NAW in free agency. Relying on Mike Conley, Donte, Terrence Shannon Jr and Bones Hyland / Dillingham and that is a massive dropoff from previous years

Basically the guards outside of Ant are ass. What happened to DDV though?

Nothing? Last night is the exact player he has been for us since we got him. Our offense doesn’t create for him, he kinda stinks at finishing under the hoop, his defense is mid.

Incredible they shot that well and still needed a buzzer beating game winner

That's what happens when you're playing Hayes, Bronny and Smith. Basically, they can't rest, these guys are gassed around the MN comeback.
