The fuck is wrong with DAZN

• Upvotes

Constantly kicks me out because it says I’m watching on multiple devices, even though I only ever logged onto my phone and their device list confirms it. If not that, then it’ll randomly say I don’t have a subscription and make me re-sign in all over again. My newest issue is that it’s been buffering for the last 10 minutes. In total I’ve probably only caught 5 minutes of the actual game.

The terrible price of the subscription is a whole other issue… Somehow almost makes me miss the days of Bally/FanDuel

Wolves Media Where can I actually hear the Timberwolves radio stream?

• Upvotes

Without getting DAZN because I have too many streaming apps as it is, if I just wanted to listen to a stream online where can I do that? KFAN doesn’t have the stream and the NBA site that leads to the iHeart page just has some random Fox sports radio show on right now.

Track the Pack Warriors passing on LaMelo and giving up on Kuminga

• Upvotes

The Warriors pass on LaMelo could’ve had their pg of the future, and could’ve extended the warriors chances of playoff success with Steph.

They also gave up on Kuminga because he wasn’t “bought in” to their principles. Maybe he needed a change in his career to come to a realization, but he has been a revelation to this team.

Thank you to the Warriors for allowing us to pair Melo and Kuminga with Ant and Jaden. 😆

ANT can swing to either corner..

This is a recipe for putting the defense in constant rotation. How does any foe stop this consistently over 7 games?

Anthony Edwards Should Limit Minutes in Blowouts

51 Upvotes

In last night's game, with 6:23 remaining, Finch subbed out 4/5 of the starting lineup: LaMelo, Jaden, Kuminga, and Rudy, while leaving Ant in. Ant played for less than another minute before he too was subbed out to end his night. Innocuous as another 34 seconds might seem, this is for a guy who had tweaked his knee earlier in the game and might miss the game tonight. He had been playing since the start of the fourth quarter after subbing in with the team leading by 28.

As fun as it is seeing us blow teams out, sometimes I wish Finch would see some of these games with a huge lead late as a chance to just let Ant skip the fourth quarter, like Shai often did last year. When the game is already in hand, don't put any unnecessary miles on those knees.

I worry that the reason this won't happen is because Ant cares about his stats. He doesn't want to finish a game with 19 points in 23 minutes. He'd rather come back to add another 10 points in the fourth quarter to keep up his per-game averages and miss the next game, because a missed game doesn't affect his stats in the same way, even though it could end up hurting the team if you lose to a quality opponent.

Obviously with the way we're playing, the most important thing for this team is keeping its starts healthy through the regular season, so if he needs a night off, he needs a night off. But there is a downside to missing whole games, and there is much less of a downside to rest when you're already up big. Particularly after seeing Jalen Williams' injury in the fourth quarter last night, I don't want Ant to risk an injury playing extra minutes on tired legs at the end of a blowout just to pad his stats.

Lamelo got the deflection and steal and instead of taking the shot himself as most players would do, he passed up to Jaden for an easy layup 🥹 Love his energy on defense, his court vision and his selflessness!

Sorry about the sound effects, I get very hyped when watching basketball 🤣

As great as this start is, opponents WILL shoot better eventually

0 Upvotes

This has been an undeniably great start to the season, and I'm super impressed by the defense shown so far, but I do want to slow the hype train a little bit. So far this year, opponents are shooting 23.6% on 3's. Some of this has to do with good defense. But the inherent variance in 3pt shooting also means your opponent can shoot terribly, and your defense has nothing to do with it.

Last year, the average 3pt percentage for a team was 36%. A team shooting 36.7 3-pointers a game (what the Timberwolves have been allowing this year) at a 36% clip scores almost 14 more points than a team shooting 23.6%.

Additionally, while I expect the Timberwolves to be a great 3-point shooting team, they aren't going to sustain a 42.4% 3-point percentage on 39.3 attempts per game. That would probably make them the greatest 3pt shooting team ever, over teams like the 73-9 Warriors (who shot 41.6% on 31.6 attempts per game) and the 96-97 Hornets (who shot 42.8% on 16.9 attempts per game).

Of course, this doesn't mean that we can't be incredibly excited by the start of the season this team has had. It's hard to imagine things working better than they have through 3 games. But this team is going to have rough patches and challenges pop up throughout the journey that is an NBA season. Opposing teams are going to shoot amazingly when Ant and Lamelo have an off night. And it's important not to overreact and spiral when that happens.

Xs and Os This offense feels like it is what Finch always wanted it to be

68 Upvotes

I’m pretty lacking in basketball strategy, but most of the words that get thrown around with Finch’s offensive system is that it is free flowing and player decision led. It seems that the guys who have been playing in the system for years now (mcdaniels, Edwards, gobert etc.) have improved over time with making the quick decisions that Finch has coached them to do.

What’s cool about Lamelo, Kuminga, and Ayo is it feels like these are guys that have strengths playing the way Finch wants his teams to and are just gelling so early. This is what the offense is supposed to do, quick passes and penetrations to find open shots. I think Finch has just always had to adjust the system from KAT being such a pick and pop demon and Randle working better in isolation inside the 3 point line.

Great coaches adjust their systems based on the talent. But it feels like right now we finally have a roster that fits the system Finch is trying to incorporate.

You now have to open the CFA app PRIOR to 10:30AM the following morning to "claim the offer" and redeem it later in the day. CFA apparently wasn't happy with how popular the offer had become. Pretty fucked up move if you ask me.

Stats I’ve done some math

Not a statistician or anything, but I took our 3-0 record and extrapolated it to the entire season. And what I found is that if we keep this trajectory, we are on pace to be the first team to ever go 82-0. Thoughts?
