Good time to face Philly. They lost a tough one in OT last night and Embiid (41), Maxey (47), Harris (43) and Melton (41) all played big minutes.

We're favored by 5.5 points tonight, was trying to figure out why the spread was so big. That likely plays a factor into it.

Joel is dodging KAT and Rudy. Normally I'd be excited for better odds of a win, but I really wanted to see the nearly full strength match up. |

Makes me feel a little better that McDaniels is out for tonight. Let em rest, let us cook ahead of the tournament game this Friday!

There’s plenty of time to get tested against good teams. I want to pile up wins before Christmas!

The Wolves won 4 of 5 on a tough road trip and the ESPN still put them as 5th overal ranking. Lame. I was hoping for a head to head with the 76ers best they had for a decent look at the Wolves.

The old Wolves would lose this one. We'll see. They still have a lot to prove to me.
They need to handle these guys and take care of business.

It's early but our Wolves are taking care of business. 29-17.
This is a totally revamped offense it looks to me. Finch listened to us after that horrible loss early and made big changes. Damn, we look good.
I know....there's a long way to go tonight.

Paul Reed is a kid I’ve wanted on our team since his draft.
Philly has really underutilized him.

Great block by Reed on Towns in the 4th qtr. Wolves by 14.
Reed went 56th in that 2020 draft. What a bargain. We took Bolmaro but McD too.

Jim Pete said this team can win a championship. As they are, the way they're playing, if they stay solid, could win a championship. He's absolutely not wrong.. It's a long road to April, but I absolutely see it.

I'm keeping my big mouth shut so I don't jinx us.

ANT says..."We're a big team and we have to play big".
We are making the small ballers pay. I always thought small ball was a fad. It's about time we're making them pay.
NAW scoots around on defense like I've rarely seen.
Held them to 99 points tonight.

3 rebounds in 2 minutes for Miller. So 54 per 36 min. He’ll singlehandedly solve our rebounding issues! |

Much was made of Wolves not winning games they should have last year. Bad teams. Teams missing key players. The Wolves left too many of those on the table. This year we've won them all. We're also holding leads. Outside of the Boston game, we've had double digit leads in every home game. While those have fluctuated, we've held them.
Thought the D was on point last night. NAW, Ant, and Conley really made things hard on Maxey. Rudy was great again and KAT had a nice game defensively. Kudos.

Was at the game last night. Target Center is so much fun right now. Everyone was into it and having a great time. The upper bowl was full, except for the tarped off sections. The Wolves are the hot commodity right now and it's amazing to see the support they're (deservedly) getting.
This was the rare game it felt like where both KAT and Ant were clicking. KAT played within himself and didn't try to do too much. I didn't notice much whining or complaining, and it seemed to be very beneficial for him as he picked up a few foul calls that I'm not sure he would've gotten previously. He still needs to shoot more 3s though. I'd love to see a few designed actions to get KAT some catch and shoot opportunities.
Ant was awesome as well. He definitely is a prototypical iso scorer and it shows. There's so many times where he just holds the ball for 8-10 seconds at a time trying to beat his man 1-on-1 and killing some of the offense's rhythm. If he can figure out when the proper times are to iso, he'll be even more deadly.
Also, Maxey rocks. I loved him in the draft and was hoping we'd be able to pick him up. But I think we ended up doing pretty well in that draft regardless...
