He needs to be the starting PG yesterday

Edit: I guess he’ll be the starting PG is out but it needs to be permanent when Ant gets back.

Easy-Philosopher-562 | Timberwolves

8 | 5 hours ago

People have written him off as PG of the future, and I still think there’s a chance that happens. Especially with Bones’ supplementary scoring off the bench.

3 losses in a row all very winnable and now we get the Spurs Thursday… kill me

pixelbat001

Don’t get why the league schedules traveling back to backs this late. Obviously the team needs to preform better, but I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they have lost all three of these games in the fourth when they run out of steam

Milly-the-Kid | Timberwolves

Travel b2bs should be gone. Last season Wolves played OKC in Min, then played each other again in OKC the next night. Just a complete waste of everyone’s time

pixelbat001

That might be the silliest one I’ve heard of! I get why the league would not want to cut games so why not just make the season extend into July?

DementedWarrior_ | Timberwolves

2 | 5 hours ago

Less offseason rest time and time off would probably be protested by many members of the league ngl

According_One811 | Suns

Especially considering they were tight games. Playing down to the wire in Toronto then Boston and having to go play in Minnesota the next day is brutal

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

10 | 6 hours ago

Might not be great comfort, but watching your guys give it their all on both ends while down 12 with like 2 minutes left made me legitimately jealous. I haven’t seen that type of effort from the Wolves all year. That’s some serious culture established in a very short amount of time.

Suns blowing their chance to sneak into that 6th slot and avoid both OKC and San Antonio in the first round.

Inexperience for the young guys but I’m kinda afraid of Fox in the play-offs, he might just step up. That’s a big might tho.

DementedWarrior_ | Timberwolves

2 | 5 hours ago

I don’t know if it’s because of injuries, but yall seem to run a bunch of small ball and idk how that’ll do against Wemby lol

According_One811 | Suns

2 | 5 hours ago

We definitely do run a little too much small ball but having Brooks and Williams back will probably fix that.

kingofnick | Suns

Funnily enough, Wemby’s lowest scoring game (9 points in 34 minutes) this season was against the Suns.

Fire_Demon-215

Ant being out could prove to be a blessing in disguise. The team can build some more chemistry and learn their roles instead of just watching ant do everything and carry.

SakeOfPete | Timberwolves

14 | 5 hours ago

The thing is, their roles change while ant is out.

EsotericPotato | Timberwolves

18 | 6 hours ago

No Ant, the playoff picture getting dire, and like 7 guys went and had their best game in a few weeks tonight. And it was all just a matter of desire/effort. If they play with this level of intensity every night, they’d have won 60 games this season. The ball movement, defense, going after rebounds, and energy was just insanely good.

The second half tonight was one of the few instances this year where they looked like the 2023-2024 wolves on defense.

Hope this break is eye-opening for Ant, because this defensive intensity and snappy ball movement is not always possible when he’s out there. If he comes back and fits into this energy, they’d are all the way back.

Where is the guy that said Julius Randle as a #1 option was gonna be a disaster lol

urkuri | Timberwolves

Probably somebody that’s never watched the Wolves when Ant is out…Julius has basically always stepped up when he’s out lol

horse_renoir13 | Timberwolves

Honestly that is the frustrating thing about Ju, especially this year. We’ve seen how good he is and can be, but I guess this is what you get

I feel pretty good that I said it might snap him out of his slump lol. One game is too early to say but good start.

TheBailyDaily | Timberwolves

Ant being out might be a blessing in disguise in forcing our team to step up before play offs. The pressure of having to fill ant’s spot and how much they hate the suns made Randle and McDaniels really lock in which is what we need happening before getting into playoffs mode during post season

TheBailyDaily | Timberwolves

9 | 6 hours ago

Also it can’t be understated how important adding Ayo and Anderson into our lineups has been

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

Ayo and Anderson

DementedWarrior_ | Timberwolves

Kyle had some really good defensive impact tonight. If he can look to score a little more, even just like today, it’ll be great.

Not everything is just points brother. Anderson’s passing and defense helps open up a lot of opportunities

A donte 0 point game the night after a NAW 41 point game doesn’t exactly feel great

Odoaiden | Timberwolves

3 | 5 hours ago

I love NAW but his role he was never putting up his current numbers in fact Ayo is just kinda strictly better as wolf obviously a little worse at defense but way better at offense.

bobbywellington | Timberwolves

2 | 5 hours ago

I think saying Ayo is only a little worse than NAW defensively is selling NAW pretty short

Obviously NAW wouldn’t be scoring anywhere near 20 a game on this Wolves team, but it still hurts to see him go this crazy after losing him for nothing

Sad we never got to see him as the main POA defender with Jaden playing at the 4, but oh well…

Odoaiden | Timberwolves

2 | 5 hours ago

Advanced metrics have NAW as slightly better (worse this year but that’s with a bigger role). I think NAW is a better defender by the eye test but numbers say they are very similar

urkuri | Timberwolves

A win feels great, cherry on top that it’s against the Suns.

It sucks (for Clippers fans) that LAC’s injuries overlap with Phoenix’s.

Odoaiden | Timberwolves

2 | 5 hours ago

We didn’t have Ant suns have no injury excuse

Noble_Beard | Suns

2 | 5 hours ago

The Suns were missing Brooks, Williams, and Allen. Those three together probably equal Ant’s value. And just being low on bodies on a back end of a travel B2B matters a lot.

Odoaiden | Timberwolves

-1 | 5 hours ago

Yes which is why they were slight underdogs but it was still a very winnable game, but all I hear is excuses.

Road back to back, missing three of their top 4 players.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (42-27) defeat the Phoenix Suns (39-30), 116-104.
