Let's hope the Jazz have something left in the tank for a competitive game.

You can't kill what's already dead. They'd be doing us a favor if they win and they have more to lose than we do regardless of the final score of the game. They are thinking about the playoffs and just hope to get out of this game without any injuries.

Wolves fan here, I wanted to ask how Walker Kessler has been doing this year? I know a lot of us Wolves fans are curious about the road not traveled.

Also, it looks like Rudy might be out tonight. You guys will have a big size advantage even without Collins and Markkanen. I think this game is going to be more competitive than you would expect.

Hendricks 15 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block, 1 steal, 1 assist. His best game. Conley drops 29 on the Jazz to see if we remember him.

I'm a big horror fan actually, but as it happens the zombie genre is one of my least favorites, as it's been done to death, no pun intended.

Hendricks had a sweet stuff at the rim, and 10 rebounds. He is tall and getting better over time.

He started slow due to an injury and did not look good to start the season, but he improved and regained the form of last season. He's still very good on defense but has shown no improvement on offense, which is what I personally feared would happen. Maybe his time with the US national team didn't allow him enough time to work on his game.

In short, he's pretty much the same as last season, not better.

Thank you for the info. It is still early enough that could he develop a shot (Jimmy Butler,) or he might be similar to Rudy. It will be interesting to see how develops and if he can stay healthy.

I will applaud Sexton. He's out there playing hard every game even though it's obvious as hell the decision makers have decided to tank and keep their pick.
