I guess we’ll see a lot of miles bridges matched up with Julius randle tonight. That’s a great match up to like. When I say “great” and like, I mean for timberwolves fans and Julius randle. Randle has been solid thus far. That was a trade I actually liked for both teams, maybe even more for the Minnesota side of the deal.

So is Brandon miller playing tonight? We’re six games in and I’m already so sick of this. Woof

Edit: I believe he is playing

Reddit says he’s playing

Yeah I kept refreshing and got it. Trying to get some bets in before the lines get wimpy.

This hornets team is so bad. We may win less games than last year.

I put a parlay down on naz Reid having a big game. I got 2/3 parts of it with about 9 minutes left in the fourth quarter. All I needed was 1 more fucking rebound from Reid. One more fucking board with NINE MINUTES LEFT IN THE GAME.

But nope, the hornets suck so much that Minnesota has the luxury of taking out even their second stringers from the game with eight full minutes left in the fourth. I needed one rebound in 9 minutes to get me $300.

Should be a fast track tonight. I assume we'll try outrun Rudy.

powellrmp

Will he play?

Eastley

I do like us starting Taj

Strange to have a starting line up that's all the same height

Wait, what? Taj shoots and hits 3s

Taj is beasting

powellrmp

Same I’ve been waiting for more Taj daddy

Eastley

OMG Brandon!

He dunks like he's channeling his inner Glen Rice

Damn Josh, nice work down low

powellrmp

Jossssshh

spectre

Everyone playing well. Even Bridges with strong D vs Randal

tnhornetsfan

Nice start. Like Taj getting some time. No stupid fouls by Lamelo…yet

Eastley

Yet

Hoping for some TJ 3s this stint

Why do we give up so many long rebounds?

Seth is a smart player

Here is my chance to profess my love of Diabate

Guy plays so hard

tnhornetsfan

Having some trouble with the twolves defense now

powellrmp

Major yikes

I do love that coach Lee immediately took out Melo after the turnover on the first possession post timeout

damn tre mann. Lawd

naz Reid is an actual elite backup big

Eastley

I like Josh's game

powellrmp

Lamelo on defense fucking hurts my eyes

Melo plus bridges on defense hurts my brain

it’s like, y’all have been playing in the same team for years now. How is there no communication or synergy

Eastley

Miles really has so little to offer

powellrmp

I just think he’s another hornets victim of being a regular good player that looks way worse than he actually is due to being asked to play a much larger role that he’s not really suited for

if he’s not hitting threes he’s certainly not making up for it on defense

Eastley

MIN guards the 3pt line very well

powellrmp

Damn that was a sick pass by randle

green defending naz Reid is a weird matchup

yeah, that’s two straight possessions of tre mann not getting close to the three point line until about 8-10 seconds left on the shot clock. Mcdaniels is playing good defense but you can’t get anything going offensively like that

Eastley

Have we lost a challenge this year?

This might be the one

powellrmp

this is where coach Lee has gotta step in and make that adjustment with Mann not getting into an opportunity to run anything until there’s like 8 seconds left

probably

Eastley

They have to be able to figure these out faster

powellrmp

Okay finally

inconclusive

it’s pretty inconclusive about how many fucks I don’t have to give regarding that call

GoBobcats24

Lamelo trying to draw fouls and keeps not getting calls and turning it over

Eastley

There should be an inconclusive option where it's not changed but the time out isn't lost imo.

powellrmp

sub him out coach Lee

LOL

Eastley

We're kinda at that stinking it up phase of the game right now. Looking forward to post half where we arrive part

powellrmp

Not much working

man it’s almost like we could use a center

heck, maybe even two centers

Eastley

Feel like the stupid fouls are at the doorstep now

+1 1
powellrmp

Mrandon Biller

Bamelo Lall

Well we’re certainly not on the doorstep of having a healthy center back

Eastley

Ooof, Miles shooting 37% from the field this year

powellrmp

Man

watching this hurts

happy to see it go in for miles but damn player, get some easier looks than that

Can’t wait for miller to get healthier and in a groove. He’s so much better than this

Eastley

I don't mind that foul by Melo

powellrmp

Tre cannot deal with mcdaniels this game

he hasn’t been able to get the offense initiated at all with mcdaniels on him. Cmon coach Lee here’s your time to help

Eastley

Jaden had a full grab on him. Not sure he's going to be able to deal with that

powellrmp

Nah man, mcdaniels has been all over him in the first half too

Was two straight possessions just like that in the first. Mann can’t shake him, too much size

Got him again on both sides more of the court

Oh wow they ruled that Gobert didn’t foul miles. Ooookay. Think I’m tuning out

DemonDeaCat

The blatant disrespect is getting ridiculous. Every touch foul is called against us, but we can have guys get snatched, grabbed and knocked off their course and it isn’t a foul. Even after review.

cltblkhscoach

Minnesota is just too good tonight. I'm sure Finch reminded them of last year in their house

I see that Micic could not log a minute in a game that 14 players saw minutes. Based on his play this year, i get it. I just don’t get what happened to this guy since the Olympics.

Melo has so much growing to do. I really think he struggles in gritty tight games. Like I said last week, it looks like he gets cooking when things aren’t serious and that leads to a comeback. Especially against good defensive teams.

He also needs to figure out that refs aren’t giving him touch fouls and body fouls on his drives. He needs to create an obvious foul situation without looking like he is flopping/embellishing.
