Wolves on a B2B and Ant questionable. Cade is out for the Pistons. I got to believe the Wolves hold Ant out.

Sit Ant, rest can always be a good thing - This game isn't a given by any stretch but if we were to rest anyone, Pistons would be the team to do it against and then have as close to full strength for the Grizz

You can certainly rest people vs Grizz too these days. However it's on national TV so Ant must play. :D

Color me surprised. This is pretty much all you need to know about Ant's desire to play. It would have been so easy to sit this one out, but; for better or worse; Ant wants to be on the court if it's at all possible.

They are, but this Wolves team takes care of business. We will win both.

Wolves need to remember that this team took Boston to OT a little while ago and can be dangerous.

Finch really doesn't sit guys. I think the Conley game last week might've been the first time he sat someone that could've played.

He's been pretty aggressive getting KAT, Ant and Rudy back on the floor ASAP after missing games with legit injuries.

It hurts remembering that one. It could have been the win of the entire season. :banghead:

We’re good enough though that taking the Celtics to overtime and losing isn’t something to be proud of.

Maybe we get a little scouting in on potential PG trade candidates?

Towns camped out all alone at the top of the three-point line. Gotta hit him.

Glad that Jim Peterson is now calling it out so other people will finally see it. :lol:

Minnesota's defense is abominable, tonight.

The GB will be insufferable if we lose this game.
