Didn't these dudes like the Kat trade for Randle? Maybe I'm tripping, but just because you played in the NBA doesn't mean you qualify as a GM. Dudes win nothing in the league but sit on a couch and turn into Jerry West.
probably because it looked good on paper and now we're finally getting a chance to watch them play together. And obviously it's not going as well as Gil and everyone thought.
Real nba fans who watched actual games would never picked Julius over Kat. Karl is an elite talent he’s on a different stratosphere compared to Randall. People thought because Randall was putting up similar numbers to towns that they were the same. Towns can actually shoot the ball and he’s great in the post. He took a back seat just so Ant could Eat. Wolves should of never traded towns they should of found a way to move Gobert
Don't see how that would be either. Doesn't matter what the team they had last season achieved. KAT is killing it for the Knicks, while Randle turned out to be that unprofessional player that the Knicks fans warned the Wolves about. And Donte regressed as a player the moment the trade happened.
The west is stacked and super close. While 11th they still only 5 games behind 1st. From 6th only 1.5. Like it’s way too close to say anything. Compared to the east they match up with the 5th seeded bucks. It’s the west anything can happen.
The West is close, so it's unreliable to say much based on the current standings. However, that doesn't stop from making predictions based on everything else. And, it doesn't look good for the Wolves.
I hear the points but I believe in Ant, I just got a sneaking feeling the chemistry isn’t going to work. Julius Randle still plays like he thinks he should be the first option and Gobert thinks he’s better offensively than he is lol
@@keshawnwilson9639 Dude has zero offensive skills. I remember the series against Mavs where he post up Lively and he basically flung the ball to the board like a ballerina. Granted he was posting up against a center, but Lively did not even contest the shot whatsoever, like he just watch the ball bounce the fuck out of the rim.
Watched most of the games...the wolves lacked chemistry and looked extremely clunky. However, the last three games their defense looks almost as good if not better than last year. Their win against the clippers wasn't a blowout it was a massacre....almost down by 40 at half.
Our defenisve rating number is the exact same as it was last season right now. We are ranked 6th. Last year our rating was historic. Which means 5 teams ranked above us currently are in for major regression. Our offense is also currently ranked the same as last season. Easy to see why we easily make the playoffs.
@84goat28 Agreed. They have been putrid for us in my opinion. I still agree with the Kat trade. Just not this specific trade. Maybe it will work out long term. But i have more doubts than i did with the Gobert trade. I knew going into the Gobert trade that i had heard it takes 1 year to integrate playing with a player like Gobert. Randle and Donte should not take this long. Randle again tonight vs Spurs was terrible. Donte too.
Nah yall are looking at it wrong…When Randle was on the Knicks remember when he was wildin and the team tried to calm him down he was cursing at his own team….now he’s on another team and I don’t think the team is responding to how he treats them
Maybe it’s different playing football, but we were quick to call a MF soft or puxxy footing to get the monster up out em. If that breaks you, yeen gon’ make it
PG - Mike Conley SG - Anthony Edwards SF - Julius Randle/Joe Ingles PF - Julius Randle C - Rudy Gobert And just have Donte DiVincenzo coming off the bench as the 6th man.
Mike Conley needs to remain the point guard, Anthony Edwards is the 2, Julius Randle is the 3, and go from there, but Rudy needs to be just a rim protector, block shots, deflections, rebounds, put backs.
Clippers had 4 guys out and where on a back to back, also the toughest schedule in the league when it comes to rest. Clippers don't have practice since October 18th because of they busy schedule...
Love all yall dudes that make Gil’s Arena best sports show on the net! Real dudes that talk real topics. I watch Gils Arena all the time you walk in my house and it’s on lol. T-Wolves my team even tho I’m a Kentucky boy large part of that is Antman (usually just follow players in NBA) but now I got a team. Big fan of Garnett in the day too. NFL it’s Colts all the way baby! anyways huge fan of show and all the fellas involved even Lexie sexy ass lol huge shout out to the team behind the scenes great fuckin show!! Swaggy the man always keepin shit chill not that I’d like show if it was super chill yall got great balance tho
Just like wemby, he needs to figure out his go to moves and what he's best at. Him shooting 13 threes a game is lottery pick basketball. Not winning basketball. Him nkt getting to the rim as much is also a huge head scratcher. He needs time still. But we'll see. Imo he's not ready to be a definitive first option superstar like luka, jokic, shai, and giannis have established themselves to be.
arena (I’m a lakers fan) calling the wolves a bottom feeder but not the lakers is absolutely nuts Gil 🤣… the lakers are literally garbage lmao. Wolves been higher rank every year for the past 3 years. Also … started Reid, Gobert and Randle is INSANE 💀literally your 3 rotation of bigs in together?
He doesn’t need to change positions. Just tell the bigs to get the hell out of the way and he needs to drive the ball. Stop settling but he’s already said he wants to settle more lol
Gil is right, Rus and Harden would have never been pushed to their highest capabilities and would've missed out yo, they would have been forced to take a back seat to KD's greatness and maybe they've would got one ring but I think they did better for themselves in the long run. Shootout them!
For my honest opinion is that Anthony Edward going to the same direction like Trae Young. What do I mean is that when after Trae have his phenomenal playoffs in 2021. His team started to decline when years goes by.
What the other guy said plus teams have gotten better this season. No way in hell I'm taking the wolves over mavs, thunder, suns, warriors, hell even the rockets in a 7 game series 😂 . Ppl like you who doesn't really analyze the game (with all due respect) say stuff like this. They are not established anymore and won't be for some time
@bonystickmanking1250 "people like you?" I literally just said they said this last season, and they ended up going to the WCF lmao, bro started yapping over nothing lmao 🤣😂 u a professional yapper?
They were a high seed team last season around this time, not out of the play-in team standing. They did not even had their 10th loss not until the end of the January on the following year.
In a world where a bunch of former players now have a voice on the internet let's take a moment to appreciate Charles Barkley. There's still nobody on any show or platform that can hold a candle to him.
The line isnt as good as they think it is. McDaniels cant shoot randle is the most inconsistent left handed shooter ive ever seen. And rudy cant shoot thats 2.5 non shooter on the floor
Bring real basketball back. Fans are getting tired of watching 3pt shootouts every night. That's why the league is suffering and the game is suffering.

Not even the Timberwolves
Facts Think about most guards with an stretch big made it way easier.
Shouldve traded rudy instead
Nobody want him@@allfactstv3812
It ain't no harder for ant to do what he wants.... he's just falling for trend of shooting more 3s.
Why do some of these former players have to act like they were MJ when talking about other teams/players?
Exactly 😂
Lmao facts. Like bro we saw you play.🤦🏾♂️
They did play in the nba…like a .0001% probablilty…
How about when Stephen A does? 🤔
does it make a difference if they were MJ or not? they talking basketball a sport they played
Gil rocking a Lakers poncho after a 41 point loss to the hapless Heat is crazy work!
That BIG lineup is cool until they have to get back on defense lol
Yea idk about randle at the 3 it sound good in theory 😂
@charlesholmes3075 🤣😂🤣
Gil is in no position to talk ish after Lakers lost by 40 yo 😭💀
He wanted to argue with Brandon that energy didn't matter and that bit him in the ass 😂
Let's be honest.. This entire panel don't watch any games LMAOO
Facts
Based on the body of work I would understand why you might think they aren’t contenders but not a playoff team is either a lazy take or rage bait
Don't see how that would be either. Doesn't matter what the team they had last season achieved. KAT is killing it for the Knicks, while Randle turned out to be that unprofessional player that the Knicks fans warned the Wolves about. And Donte regressed as a player the moment the trade happened.
@ you can think the trade was the worst of all time and still know this team will make the playoffs

Solid take my guy - if they don’t mentally implode they should sneak into the playoffs.
There won't be any sneaking. Wolves will be 4th - 6th in the West, book it.
I hear the points but I believe in Ant, I just got a sneaking feeling the chemistry isn’t going to work. Julius Randle still plays like he thinks he should be the first option and Gobert thinks he’s better offensively than he is lol
I’m tryna figure out when did Gobert think he was an offensive hooper ? 🤣🤣🤣 all of a sudden he wants it on the block everytime lmao.

100% I saw it on TV.
It’s early in the season y’all teams will start separating themselves.

Stop it
This collab is pure gold!
"they're .500" is such a powerful criticism when only a quarter of the season has been played
