Right, like, is this Gordon “playing awfully” or is it “trying to dunk on the best rim protector in the NBA”. At least in significant degree, it’s the latter!
And on Edwards - I think especially early (and probably still but he just knows to manage it better), I think he’s just a silly and funny guy, and gave a ton of really weird (and funny) interviews early on. You can tell he’s been significantly “groomed” since then
Wolves best gameplan is to have KAT guarding Joker and let Goebert roam freely behind him to a degree. Both sizes has made it difficult for Joker to make reads. The Wolves defense is worse when KAT doesn’t guard Joker because it moves Goebert off the rim which makes sense. That’s part of the reason why Ant keep telling KAT to stop making silly fouls.
It’ll be interesting to see how Dallas deals with Minnesota’s size. I think they could have some real trouble with it on offense, and I don’t see them putting Lively and Gafford in at the same time much, if ever.
