I've got a bad feeling about this one.

Trap game as i say. Grizz are better recently and ANT still not okay. Seems hurt early in the game.

I absolutely feel like we wasted an opportunity to let Ant get some major rest and recovery. Prob got the call that he needed to play the National TV game they other night.

I feel like it could be worse than they’re leading on. He’s come our way too often in recent games.

Maybe the Wolves need to take care of business without him. Small lead after 1.

I think we are all thinking that. He should have sat last game and this one and maybe been OK for Monday. Bad call by Finch and the Wolves Med Staff.

Ant took himself out of the game due to his hip pointer. Doubtful to return.

I wish he would just stay out and heal.

Ant is questionable to return. Should’ve missed last game too
all I ever needed was somebody with some reason who can keep me sane
Ever since I can remember, I've been keepin' it together, but I'm feelin' strange

What should the over under number for Rudy missing a double/double be? Probably happen maybe 10 games all year.

Sure did. :lol: He's been pretty dominant on both ends of the floor so far.

Kyle though. Yikes.

Yes. This is hurting a few of my fantasy teams and I play for cash.

I’ve made this criticism of Anthony Edwards before, but his tendency to lie about being healthy enough to play is selfish and hurts the team. There’s a weird attitude like it is him being selfless, but it is actually really unfortunate, when he exacerbates his injuries.

I think he believes he is ready, willing and able to play. Not being selfish at all IMO.

Wolves with a small lead at the half. Not sure if that's takin care of business. Let's pull away in the second half.

Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
