So....we may actually see Zion tonight? I was thinking the wolves should hold out Ant, KAT and Rudy .....just for spite for the New Orleans home fans.
Actually, I think we'll be lucky to win this one. NO and in particular Zion were embarrassed by the Lakers in that last in season game, losing by 44 points. I think they will try to make a statement at home tonight. Plus....they've been resting since Thursday! If we win this one the Wolves will really show me something.

Ant out and I expect Jaden too since they have 2 more days off after this game. Probably a loss unless KAT comes up big and one of TBJ/Shake comes through. Will be a good test.

If David Kahn listened to me and drafted Jonas (and Curry, and George), he might still have a job…

If you like watching the refs miss calls, made bad calls, and make too many calls, this game is perfect for you. For everyone else that hasn't already wasted their time with this, just skip it.

I’m the last person to ever blame officiating, but this is atrocious.

Wolves making a run late 3rd. down 7. Not a good performance tonight. Refs have been brutal to Rudy who's been in foul trouble all game.

J Mac hits a half court 3 to end the 3rd qtr on a good note. N.O. by 4.

Down by 13 at the 9 min mark of the 4th. Tough to pull this one out.

Welp, briefly made it interesting to end the third, and then quickly collapsed.

This is the best I've ever seen Zion play.

Towns had a bad 2nd half when we really needed him.

Seems like it’s been a while since we’ve seen Pels fully constituted, they’re pretty stacked when healthy, but I still like our group better.

Maybe doesn’t change much, but I probably would have tried J-Mac a little earlier.

Dallas, Pacers, Heat up next, I think we’re better than all three, hopefully Ant comes back fairly soon. Doesn’t hurt to risk a few L’s here, maybe give him the full week and see.

Finch with some Minnesota Nice passive aggressiveness toward the refs!
I do think a playoff series would be largely dependent on how the whistle swings.

Not surprised by the outcome at all. As I noted I figured NO would come ready to play and they did. They got a TON of help from the whistle gang on this, but thats not why we lost. That said, we would have had to have had much better offense to make up for those whistles taking Rudy out of the game. For a guy that doesnt foul much....him having to sit down 3 minutes into the game with 2 fouls was a bit.....questionable. Our shots rimmed out...theirs rimmed in.
Broken record but best shooting big man in the league took 3 - 3 pointers tonight. Why on gods green earth Finch doesnt run some action to get him open when we're down double digits late in the game....I'll never understand. Probably becuase he'd turn them down anyway.
Why we had Conely out there yet with 2 minutes left down a bunch....I also dont know. Jmac looked good. Why not get him more minutes at that point.

Flip. Traded Burke for Bazz and Dieng.
When I am gm of the Las Vegas Wolves you can bet levine, Hinkie and DK will be an integral part of my draft room.

Dave Wohl would be in charge of snacks.
