Mister Slim Says: Game 3 of a five-game homestand, and Sacramento hosts the Timberwolves, led by the charismatic enigma Anthony Edwards. Minnesota is a team that feels like it should be better than they are at this point in their evolution, but they seem to be off to a slow start, relative to expectations.

Timberwolves are second in the league in three-point field goal percentage, so brace y'allselves, 'cause it's coming.

New dad energy + the usual Malik Wolves Slayer energy we might see a fifty piece tonight.

 

[macadocious]

Is Mark Jones going to let us know what his name means in Arabic?

I had no idea he was built like a tank

[Tetsujin]

I had no idea he was built like a tank

Part of the reason he’s able to hold up switching onto bigger forwards.

At this point, part of my watching pleasure or displeasure is to see how many minutes Keon and Carter get or don’t get.

I will settle for playing well, playing hard, and winning, in that order.

Makes sense given Randle always takes us out behind the wood shed, maybe P-Snizzle can slow him down

Domas in the “gotta protect him from himself” class of guys who don’t mind playing hurt lol

 

[MizzouKing]

I hate to interrupt, but there is an important civic matter...

Especially if he jacked up his cartilage. It's not worth messing around with.

 

[SacTownKid]

I expect a strong start after a blowout.

 

[The_Jamal]

So now we're not starting Russ after essentially turning the offense over to him?

Christie is uhh... something. He's not consistent whatsoever in anything he does

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Tell me we didn't just see Rudy F. Gobert go coast-to-coast.

I think for better or worse, this is still theoretically Deebo/Lavine/Domas’s team.

 

[Capt. Factorial]

I did not know that there was any circumstance leading to 2-to-make-1 in the modern NBA

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Offensive juggernaut Rudy Gobert.

 

[The_Jamal]

I really don't like seeing Domas clutch at his ribs. Like what are we doing?

 

[SacTownKid]

Domas a little rusty.

And we thought Mike Brown was erratic at times, haha.

Training staff apparently okay with a dude playing with broken ribs lol

 

[The_Jamal]

Domas a little rusty.

Yeah, he's clutched at his ribs twice that I saw running down the floor. He probably can't like extend or move super sharply I imagine?

I just don't get it. Including this year, have like another 130 million invested in Domas over the next few years. Makes no sense to keep trotting him out there at 60-70% (if that)

 

[Tetsujin]

Positive: Precious doing a lot of the hustle 4/5 stuff we all hoped IJ would do for us


Negative: it looks like our guys have never actually passed the ball before

 

[Sluggah]

So sloppy

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Gobert is making life very difficult for Sabonis out there

 

[Tetsujin]

Zach constantly passing up looks when he’s one of the best shooters in the league is sorta infuriating
