Damian Lillard on Drew Eubanks’ dunk: “Drew is bouncy, but Rudy Gobert is so tall and long that he’ll always get to it. So I was standing at the rim like, ‘Let’s see how this is gonna go.’ And he got him.”

Rudy Gobert on developing a chemistry with Kyle Anderson:
“Kyle makes it easy for everyone around him. He’s just such a smart player, and, like I said, I just gotta be at the right spot and with Kyle the ball is gonna come to you. There’s no magic in it.” – 1:34 AM

This 4th is gonna give us an idea where this Wolves team is.
They don’t have a discernible talent advantage over Portland, so gotta execute. They haven’t played a lot of close games this year. And they’re on a road-road back-to-back. Would really show something to pull this out. – 11:58 PM

Much like last night in Utah, the Wolves are struggling to defensive rebound with both Gobert and Reid on the floor.
Been a bizarre problem with two bigs all year, including the Towns and Gobert minutes early on. – 10:35 PM

The Wolves have started going to the Ant + 4 bench pieces lineup more + more since KAT got hurt. They try to get out in transition or downhill in the halfcourt (w/ Ant/Nowell)
But the Blazers are *really* packing the paint, daring Wolves to beat them with drive and kicks for 3s – 10:31 PM

Good start for Anthony edwards on the second night of a back to back at the site of one of my favorite Ant stories … theathletic.com/3093138/2022/0… – 10:28 PM

Blazers start running high pick and roll with Dame every possession after Gobert checks out.
That has been the gameplan scout on this Wolves team in KAT’s absence. – 10:25 PM

Taurean Prince getting some on-court work in before tonight’s game. Good sign.
Word from Finch has been “a week or so” for Prince to return from his right shoulder injury. pic.twitter.com/Zb0hHlzMIj – 9:28 PM

One last Nuggets game from my couch while I get through the last bits of COVID.
Tonight is a big one IMO. Denver seemed to turn a corner with their win over Portland. Can they keep up that momentum or will they undo that positive growth? – 9:08 PM

Chris Finch characterized Jordan McLaughlin as “day to day” with the calf injury. That’s what McLaughlin was last time he was hurt with this injury and he missed 5 games. – 8:39 PM

Asked Chauncey Billups for a Gary Payton II update. He said he’s been doing 3-on-3 this week and still navigating soreness but he’s getting closer to a return. No timeline yet. – 8:18 PM

When Damian Lillard was asked to pick the perfect teammate to win a championship with, his eyes quickly went to Giannis Antetokounmpo.
He names his reasons 🧐
