    Listen I get Ant has been shooting over 40% from 3 and he is watching film on lillard, but we won't win unless he gets back to more mid range and drives to the basket. I dont care about the new 3 point analytics this is basketball, and Timberwolve coaches encouraging Ant to stay away from mid range is a HUGE MISTAKE. As a side note we should also consider starting Naz over Randle.

      True but to his defense, he's not a center or shot blocker, and Finch has him and Naz rotating the C position when Rudy is on the bench. That's not his position.

    • @JeremyGraczyk
      @JeremyGraczyk 2 дня назад +4

      ​@@toucheyang89 he doesn't play his position when he's out there with Rudy either. Did you see the defensive possession where Rudy had a nice block that went into the corner, right to Randle's guy, and he didn't even put a hand up? Didn't put in any effort at all to try to contest the shot? And his guy made the 3
      He also screws up the entire defensive rotation when guys have to switch. You'll see everyone closing out to the open man when they're swinging it around, then it lands on the last guy and Randle is in the same position he was when Portland started the beginning of the play. They had sooooo many wide open 3s yesterday and yet we have people wondering why Portland went off against the Wolves. Gee, I wonder why when they're getting wide open practice shots?

      @@JeremyGraczyk Yeah that might be true. What I was getting at is this whole teams defense is in shambles and Julius is a big part of that sure.
      Jaden fouls way too damn much, he's constantly in foul trouble, putting teams in early bonus'. He's defense is overrated.
      Naz is also not a Center, but Finch has his playing minutes there. Robert Williams was feasting.
      Defensive isn't great but it's not all on Randle.
      I hate Finchs dual PG line up Conley/Donte. It's a disaster defensively. Doesn't pass the eye test for me.

    As a Knicks fan that knows Randle very well. I tried warning Wolves fans and made comments on Knicks podcast channels. Knicks fans would call me a hater. As if it wasn’t obvious to see his defensive flaws, laziness and constant turnovers. But it’s whatever. I’m just glad he’s gone

      @jankyjimenez4268 2 дня назад +1

      @ facts! I wouldn’t say he’s their only problem. The fact that Donte is struggling from 3 is a problem and the defense is not as good as last season is another. My Knicks have those same issues. Their offense is like 2nd best and will get back some much needed help. Both teams are trying to figure it out. The only massive advantage the Knicks have is that the East is very weak. The only horrible west coast teams is the Jazz and Pelicans

    Come on Finch. We all understand that Conley is your guy and the team is going to need him this year. But give him a few days off and get Dillingham in there. You're going to need him seasoned by the time the playoffs start. Same thing for Terrence Shannon. It's time to let the young guys eat a little. This is not the time to worry about how well the veterans can gel. If you're going to be losing games like this early in the season, they should be at the hands of a few young players who need to season for the playoffs. Just my opinion.

    This team is cooked, they'll be lucky to get a play-in tournament win. But hey, at least Glen Taylor has saved SOME money this year and MORE in the future by trading KAT, and that's really what's important here. In fact, me and all the the other delusional fans who've attacked me in other videos have decided to create a gofundme for poor old Glen, we need to bring this senial billionaire costs down even more, afterall our enjoyment isn't relevant to the product.

    ive watched both wolves and blazers this season. blazers r young but have talent and length, and some of that talent just came back: sharpe, rob wills. sharpe has been looking sharpe. scoot's driving touch has taken a juge leap and he's explosive n strong. banton has been emerging as a 4th Q offensive machine. The is the first game they gave him mins early. theyve got a chip on their shoulder from the trashing the wolves gave them not long ago and have been playing quite well since.
