This was the weirdest game I’ve watched all year. Maybe the most boring game I’ve ever watched. Just multi-man coverage on Ant, park someone in the paint, and hope the Wolves miss the open shot.

Never in my life seen a player triple teamed in the backcourt.

Holy crap you weren’t kidding 6 total shots for him in 31 minutes is super low they went down the ole anyone but him route lol 😂

Morezingis | Timberwolves

On the bright side he fucked over a ton of betters tonight cause draft kings was running a 29+ special on him.

Good.

That sounds like Borrego lmao. He was a brilliant offensive coach when he was with us, but god he would try the weirdest/stupidest shit on the defensive end.

It would’ve worked if his team could hit the broad side of a barn

TrevorArizaFan | Hornets

3 | a day ago

My comment sounded more negative than I actually think of him. I’ll give him huge credit for creativity, he’s willing to think outside the box and actually try stuff. Our defense was probably better overall with Cliff, but we’d do the same thing every game so teams with better personnel than us or who knew how to break us down knew what to expect. I appreciate that Borrego is willing to try things.

Ok-Comfortable1111 | Pelicans

He’s definitely given the players some life. Just not quite enough life

it really kept the game close until the Pels were running the offense through Saddiq Bey in the fourth

Wins aside, I’ve been so impressed with Fears this series. Not the most exciting games but the Pelicans are more interesting than I expected

Fears will be the future face of our franchise

IMP1017 | Timberwolves

if you can keep and develop him and Zion for a few years it’ll be fun to watch!

Razor-Ramon-Sessions | Pelicans

Zions gone dog.

Fears and Queen are obviously the future for this team.

bighitcards

Really? I think it’ll be Queen if he has a drive to get better. The way he plays reminds me of a young Jokic.

ComradeFrunze | Pelicans

He does, but Fears has the confidence and drive as well.

fph00 | Pelicans

Makes sense, the Queen is a face card.

pollinium | MIN

every championship team needs a Jaden McDaniels and idk how a team like the Timberwolves gets one other than drafting/developing/extending one. Mikal Bridges archetype of probably not succeeding as a #1 but being way too good to be a #3 (#blessed)

Pelican’s deployed Loyola vs Steph Curry at Davidson defense on Ant all game lmao.

Didn’t watch the game, why did Ant barely shoot?

circamidnight | Timberwolves

48 | a day ago

Pelicans strategy was to sell out to double/triple team Ant anywhere on the court and hope other players miss open shots.

Yeah, Donte and Naz lol

Happy we won, but my god this team has so many warts, mainly related to BBIQ. They need to figure out how to lock in fast.

yourloudneighbor | Timberwolves

13 | a day ago

This may be news to you… but nba teams aren’t going to go full bore on a December 5th bout against one of the worst records in the league in 60% empty arena.

They’re just not

Dreamlifehunting | Pelicans

6 | a day ago

60% is very generous. Wide angle shots looked like an empty upper bowl and maybe 40% capacity in the lower bowl.

Not the best Ant game but Randle was great tonight

NoLimitSoldier31

29 | a day ago

I don’t think Ant played bad at all outside the fouls. Handled the immediate doubles great. Just guys didn’t hit many shots. Put the team in great position tho.

gOPHER3727

He had a bunch of hockey assists, but could have had 10 normal assist if people hit shots.

NegbombDB

The 8 turnovers are bad but holy the Pels did not want this guy to drop them off again

FishGoldenLite | Timberwolves

He had 8 turnovers. He sucked tonight, but it happens.

NoLimitSoldier31

9 | a day ago

How many of those were in last 2 minutes when game was over? 3-4?

bighitcards

3 | a day ago

I mean outside of the fouls he played fine. His best basketball play was to pass out of double and triple teams. The score reflected it when he came back into the game. Pelicans stayed even with us without Ant. Turned into a blowout quick when Ant came back.

Fears is not a positive player at all. Dude just has zero sense on making his teammates better and not dragging the team behind. Not to mention dude is a hot head.

ComradeFrunze | Pelicans

7 | a day ago

Have you watched literally any Pelicans games this year? you have no idea what you are talking about

LeopardRoyal2450

-3 | a day ago

You have no idea what you talking about. I have watched like 8-9 pelicans games because of Deriq now. How many times Fears lost his man in defense and have tunnel vision on the other side?

Lake_ | Timberwolves

8 | a day ago

he’s 19

LeopardRoyal2450

-8 | a day ago

It’s bad. It’s pointless to mention the age part if these traits would be kept in his development path.

Lake_ | Timberwolves

idk man, i see a kid who looks pretty good and has a lot of upside

LeopardRoyal2450

Upside is upside but you need to have correct traits to play the game.

Dude needs to be better and not just pushing all by himself. He’s at best a transition merchant at this rate.

young player needs to be better, crazy take. you should be a coach.

yeah maybe give him time to learn?

Standard_Ad7211

I thought he deferred to much in the 4th. The plan was to get Trey the ball and they did that. His drives are pretty much our only offense.

LeopardRoyal2450

1 | a day ago

Cause he fucked up hard last game OT.

Kwanzaa-Bot | Pelicans

3 | a day ago

Second youngest rookie in the league playing the hardest position in the NBA on a poorly managed team makes choices that are less than ideal in pressure situations. Shocker.

It is a disservice to him that he is that position in the first place.

EstablishmentGlad358

1 | a day ago

I guess im nitpicking but Wolves rookie Beringer is actually younger and so is Noa Essengue in Chicago. I only know this because our broadcast mentioned how Flagg/Beringer/Essengue were the only 18yr olds when the season started.

LeopardRoyal2450

-2 | a day ago

The rookie contract is four years long to every rookie and it doesn’t really count the age of the rookie. Age should not be the reason to stop him being mature in a professional game.

good enough for 3-20 right?

The Minnesota Timberwolves (14-8) defeat the New Orleans Pelicans (3-20), 125-116.
