Agness confirms 4 game miss for Benn. No KAT tonight.

1st in the West Timberwolves 43-19 on road 20-11
7-3 in the last 10 on a 1 wi streak however Kat is out

8th in the East Pacers 35-28 at home 20-12 1 game winning streak and 6-4 in last 10. Unfortunately Mathurin out so will need some scorers to step up.

With Benn and Doug out, Sheppard will need to shine.

Same 5

Edwards rolls ankle on first play.

Edit but he comes back quickly and mn had a run without him.

Very sloppy start tonight. Defense has to get better.

I like this Jackson sighting.

I like it too but more so I like Walker getting minutes. Walker is now becoming a positive contributor with rebounding, passing, keeping the ball moving, and a little scoring.

I also like how Jarace Walker can bring the ball up court. Really reminds me of how Siakam can dribble.

I don’t think I’m crazy to say that Walker can play at the guard position in limited minutes in the future with his court vision and passing ability.

I think by next season he’ll be contributing nightly like Mathurin, Nembhard, and Sheppard currently do.

Very bright future and I think he will be a jack of all trades with scoring probably his last to develop at this level.

I doubt we'll bring Doug back.

Agreed

I switched to the state of the union preview and we made a run. Jinx?

Heart attack watching Siakam on the floor.

Tough loss and the All star all league Anthony Edwards beat us in the 4th quarter.

Pacers shooting %’s were both better than the Wolves but lost the rebounding by 48-39. Almost all Pacers players played well with only Nesmith shooting poorly 2-10 and 1-4 from 3. I’m confident he is still getting back into shape from his injury.

Games like these you gotta remember how much worse it was this time last year.

we also have to remember our expectations. Vegas had the over/under on wins for the season around 37 and we optimistically hoped for 45. 45 is still not unreasonable it just doesn't look like that will be enough wins to climb out of the play-in.
