Timberwolves (16-16) at Celtics (22-10) Game #33 12/23/22

[blink]

what happened with JB?  I stepped away for a few minutes and he had like 13 and  now he has 25? whoa....

[blink]

JB's demeanor is so much different after seeing that three go down. He's hustling on D, hitting the boards, etc.

Indicative of the team's general mindset  and likely why we've been struggling lately. We don't quite play as hard when missing shots. Got to fix that.

the bolded....I guess it is probably universal for every team, but we really need to do better with that.

Killing the wolves in transition.

Smart playing smart ball.

[hpantazo]

Smart's passing is picking apart the Wolves defense!

[radiohead]

That’s more like it! Now please protect that lead. No let up!

[slamtheking]

so much more effort the past few minutes.  need to pour it on and put the wolves away.  would be great to see them start out Christmas with this effort

[jpotter33]

JT and JB with back to back yams!

Does feel like we’ve pushed the ball less during this bad stretch, which isn’t helpful.

[hpantazo]

Killing the wolves in transition.

Wolves should be ashamed of themselves giving up a breakaway dunk off a made basket in crunch time.

[blink]

multiple great passes by Marcus!
more of that PLEASE!

[jpotter33]

This little mini run has come entirely off of pushing the ball and off-ball movement - two things that we were great at during the early part of the season but not so much lately.

[SCeltic34]

This might sound crazy but I think Smart is the MVP of this game.  His passing has been stellar the entire game.

[slamtheking]

BIG BUCKET BROWN!

[Silas]
