[Highlight] Anthony Edwards gets Toumani to bite on the drive, delivers the dagger.
Dude is so cold
Just like the Weather in MN. G Money Straight Cash 🤑
Fucking love Nate Burleson 😂
(Edit) that whole commentary from the Colts game is gold.
“That was nashty” when Jets cooked Gilly is burned in my brain
Edwards, Wemby, Luka all drop 40 in their opener. It’s a new league.
Edit: Maxey had 40 too. That’s on me.
Maxey too
props to maxey but bro still far to be named among these three future superstars
What about if there was a list of players who dropped 40 on opening night, should he be named on that list?
A quick ChatGPT says:
“Yes—.”
It’s awesome to see a league get reloaded with exciting new talent. The competition will be healthy for years to come
A lot of these guys are very likeable too, all in different ways. League is in a good spot from a player perspective.
I know you’re a Wolves fan but Anthony Edwards isn’t a likeable person. On the court he’s a damn killer and so fun to watch. But as a human he’s kind of a dirtbag.
There’s always one
One what? Person who calls out his shitty behavior off the court? Again, he’s a super fun player to watch. Also a dead beat dad and homophobic. What’s controversial about what I said?
His teammates adore him and his media appearances put almost anyone else in the league to shame.
So? Plenty of teammates will look the other way if you’re a dead beat dad or worse. Yeah he’s probably a great teammate and a fun guy to be around. Also a shitty person off the court. Plenty of athletes are.
I don’t know how to explain this, but some shitty people are likeable.
I mean he’s good with all his kids except the one from the mum more than a decade his senior who he paid all the child support for up front. Doesn’t take genius to work out she probably took advantage of him in that situation.
The insistent and constant moral policing that this sub twists itself into knots over is now WAY more annoying and probably less mature at this point than anything Ant has ever done.
I don’t agree with the kid situation either, but he’s a young kid with a ton of money and attention, it’s easy to see how someone could make mistakes in those situations. He didn’t do anything illegal and the one mom causing all these issues is like 40, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that he was taken advantage of at some level.
Tyrese maxey too
Damn near Sengun too
Sure is, the beard, the klaw, and the king only have so much time left
How you gonna leave out Ayesha’s husband
Didn’t see all of their games, but I bet one or more could have had 50 if they wanted. Crazy.
So exciting man
Multiple late clutch step back shots from Ant. Worked on his midrange all offseason and said fuck it ill just make the step backs this year instead.
Even got in the Jordan “Definitely NOT a push-off” step back
Appreciate the recognition. I also recognize Ant is ridiculous regardless. He’s an increasingly unsolvable problem.
Single coverage he’ll roast..
Your only hope is to overload on his side of the court.
Camara is fucking crazy man
an absolute dog and a joy to watch
the league is blessed with sooo many of these amazing rangy defenders (Daniels, Camara, McDaniels, etc)
Portland throws out like 6-7 crazy perimeter defenders. Wesley was amazing, Jrue is still great, Camara is amazing, Murray is solid, and then they bring off Matisse Thybulle. Even Avdija and Sharpe are putting in effort and are long. Then they funnel everything to Clingan inside.
Them and OKC both have crazy defensive line-ups.
Dude, I was not aware of Wesley’s game and oh my god was he a pest. If that team can keep up the energy they had tonight all season they will be in the top 10 in the west. It looked exhausting for everyone.
They were great on defense, but I don’t think they can reasonably expect that level of offense from Jarami Grant all year and other than that they struggled to score. When Scoot gets back thats good for offense but bad for perimeter defense. But yeah, they can push for the 7-10 spots for sure.
Honestly Scoot is a pretty scrappy defender himself, he got a lot of praise for it last season. He’s 110% effort whenever he’s on that floor and so that has led to a lot of really good defensive series for him. That’s why I’m excited to see Scoot and Jrue play side-by-side because they both can run through offense and play solid D (great D from Jrue) and both can play off ball assuming Scoot continues his solid 3p shooting from last season.
Grant won’t be that good, but Sharpe won’t struggle to score like that often. The two should balance out.
Thompson brothers too are just so lanky
Cold blooded as fuck
There were maybe 3 highlights posted from this game cause everyone was rightfully focused on wemby making the mavs look like cheeks but it had quite a few great plays from the wolves and blazers. However we desperately need to fix this turnover issue that has seemingly followed us to the new season
Part of the TO issue tonight was dogged defense by the blazers. Team is stacked with good defenders/disrupters.
And Divencenzo was bringing the ball up despite the fact that he can’t dribble or pass
Blazers defense was definitely fantastic though
Yeah, I actually prefer Jaden bringing it up over him. Jaden will break ya ankles
Somehow, that’s our starting PG.
Yeah your D looked good. Wesley looked very good in particular to me. Are you guys high on him?
Mostly camara, but Wesley is a very, very good defender.
I’m so happy and excited for this team. I love all the players. People will see how good this team is later in the season
You all looked miles better than last season! Definitely good stuff
I had to set wolves game thread straight, blazers are no slouch a really nice squad.
Tha Jaden dunk flying under the radar
Heck yeah Wolves, quality road win. Fuck you Deni.
If refs weren’t ass, it’s a 50 piece.
He got away with a few push offs though
I’d wager they slipped just as much as the push off, looks like grant and Camara both lost their footing. (Grant specifically hit the deck a few times tonight)
Julius fell like 17 times in the 4th quarter. The court must have been slick.
Ant stepped on JGs foot which caused him to trip. Definitely got away with that one.
Ah, I didn’t have a good chance to go back and look. Not often a player just slips but the amount of times players hit the floor tonight I thought it could’ve just been the court.
Flop city
Hes just adopting sga’s push off
I was gonna say this. If the nba will not call those blatant push off, might as well ANT utilize it.
Yeah so theres no problem now right
Blazers were diving like it was the Olympics.
just walked him down the whole way and hit that
He might be MJ reborn
Uh oh, looks like Happy learned a mid-range
Sometimes I wish Ant flopped like the rest of these ref babied bitches in the league
And then he wins just doing shit like this
“AYEEE” is a verbal flop
This is next level SGA fan cope
Can’t disagree tbh
Ant’s still got it
He had back spasms, so this will likely be his worst game of the season!
Deni must be pissed, this victory was promised to him 3000 years ago
Good one 😂
Always a good day when Deni Avdija loses
[deleted]
He has Mossad ties
Deni is a big fan of genocide.
why do you say that?
[removed]
He believes in the extermination of Palestinians
Uh, no. He’s made public statements supporting the IDF in their genocide of Palestinians. Two seconds of searching should clear this up. Hope this helps!
there’s no use arguing with these folks man, they’re never beating the anti semitism allegations. i mean just look at their great white communist hope in graham platner having a goddamn nazi tattoo for the last 18 years displayed prominently on his chest and they STILL don’t see what’s the big deal, lol.
Nothing you can do there
Oh he’s coming for that MVP 👀 👀
all of his fourth quarter shots were clutch and needed
he couldnt miss 4th qtr. he was 40% fg and 3pt,4th qtr boosted it to 50%.Cold blooded clutch mf
That’s a bad man
Pretty good for a football player.
Post the one he hit against Grant too
it’s over for yall if he gained a real clutch gene
Ice cold
Top 5 this year?
For sure he was top 5 last year (Donovan Mitchell got the nod though)
This year? Top 5 coming into this year lol. Gunning for the MVP. Book it
The top 5 is way too stacked. Who knows
Yeah one of Ant Wemby SGA Jokic Giannis and Luka has to be left out, not to mention another 3-4 players who could make a push for it. So I want to believe Ant will cement his place top 5 but it will be tough. Feel like we have a crazy season incoming leaguewide
Ant in that case tbh just too stacked
Tatum is one of those 3-4 players even though he’s hurt
He him 🫠
honestly tho grady and jim pete MVPs still
Fucking love that we got NBA again and so happy to see the amount of big stars balling like Ant, Sengun, Wemby, Luka…
Can Arod sign Michael Grady?
Ball game
Dude finally learned the chicken wing move.
Goosebumps
Ant cold. Hopefully Ja healthy this year. I want a Wolves vs Grizz series
It must be the shoes
Disgusting, bummer for us but god damn
thats fucking nasty
Ethical basketball. Cold blooded step back dagger.
Billups watched this then went home and got arrested by the FBI
Ant is probably the 6th best player in the league
Jokic, Shai, Luka, Giannis, Tatum, Ant?
Sounds about right tbh.
Tatum I forgot because injury lol. I meant vic. But ig Tatum could be there.
Vic gotta show me a playoff appearance.
Luka is not about Giannis or Jayson
I wouldn’t argue if you swapped em.
It’s hard to rank tatum because of his Achilles injury who knows how good he will be when he’s back.
To be fair this current Mavs team is bad they need Flagg to develop and Kyrie to come back before they are a good team
this is gonna be a crazy mvp race
smooth as hell
Ant might be top 5 this season especially with old man LeNerve out with Sciatica. Shai,Jokic,Wemby,Luka,Ant? 😂
That looked like SGA!
lol you see this shit then when the playoffs happen he just chokes lol
2 consecutive Conference Finals isn’t quite what I would consider choking lol
Chokes?? I watched the Wolves go to back to back WCF Finals. You must be mistaking him with another
Four consecutive playoff appearances, two consecutive WCF appearances, and averaging 27/7/6 in his playoff career isn’t exactly what I’d call choking…?
I mean did y’all make the NBA finals tho
Ik heat fan ain’t talking 😂
lol I have to we lost to the fking magic
Send bam to Minnesota ya can have Rudy gobert
Go worry about AJ Dybantsa
Sounds like Wade
? wade was clutch in the playoffs
