Edwards now has a mere 4 turnovers in the last 4 games. Better decisions earlier in the shot clock. It's making Ant and the whole team more effective.

9 Turnovers the previous 2 games.

A switch flipped.

Also really interesting with all the talk of how teams can go small, play "5 out" and play Rudy off the court, the very opposite happened against the Clippers where we completely overwhelmed them to the point that Lue (a really terrific coach) had to abandon the idea and try to match size as best he could.

Bodes well for the Playoffs.

I wish they tracked how many times a game guys enter the paint and immediately bail because Rudy is waiting.

Happens all the time.

I think this may be the best of Rudy ever. I wasn't a fan of the trade, but his ability to anchor the defense has been impressive, and has won me over. Let him do what he do. His impact on defense has been so consistent. The altered shots and no shots are a thing of beauty. Low key our MVP?

Absolutely. He's been the key to our defense. And the difference between this team and those Utah ones is we actually put good perimeter defenders around him, so he's no an island.

That has mostly been just talk. Who has done that successfully against us?

I like it when they try.

Does anyone here trust Paul Allen's NBA takes? Is he smart about professional basketball?

I just laugh and shake my head. J PeTe 2 and DL both said Lillard was done 3 years ago. But he's burying the young Wolves tonight. How?

21 points on 23 shots.

A performance for the ages…

Yes, Lillard beat us with 21 points, shooting 35% on 23 shots. It had nothing to do with Giannis scoring 33 points on just 13 shots.

With the reports that Lore & ARod are “still raising funds and are about $600M short” should we be concerned about ownership’s willingness/ability to keep this team together and pay heavy tax penalties? Why or why not?
