Bucks at Wolves

[Basti]

Beverley’s ejection reminded me that NBA rules say if you accumulate 16 technical fouls over the season, you face an automatic one game suspension. Pat has 8, DLo has 4, and no other Wolves player has more than 2 .. except Towns, who has 14.

Other players with over 11 are Luka (15), Westbrook and Carmelo (14), Embiid and Trae (13).

Are you sure KAT has 14 technical fouls? I remember Jim Pete or Dave Benz mentioning 12 technical fouls the other day and I don't think KAT has been assessed another one in the meantime.

It isn’t listed on many sites. It’s 14 here:

I see. Thanks for that link. But the count does reset for the postseason, no?

All season I didn't think we could win a series against any team in the playoff this year, that is changing.

I didn’t trust that Tch stat either, but it seems correct. FoxSports has 14 techs on KAT too.

These refs sure letting both teams play a very physical game. Fortunately, it goes both ways.

[TwolvesFanRome]

Why with +20points we can't see on the floor Layman and Bolmaro?

Right. It resets to zero.

I didn’t realize that if a player gets seven in the playoffs, it’s a one-game suspension too.

[Basti]

Dallas already behind by 14 points after only a few minutes of play in the 1st quarter. One can hope...

[Neeva]

Now we just need the Hornets to keep the foot on the gas pedal and take care of business.

One complaint I have on Finch is that he doesn't pull starters out soon even when the lead is huge. Not as bad as Thibs in this aspect but still he can do better

[Calinks]

This team is definitely on another level. Very very impressive when you consider that we are in the early stages of building this new team up. I have never been this confident in a wolves team before.

[Calinks]

The hope was that we would be a .500 team and fight for the playoffs. I never dreamed at any point we could hit 12 games over .500. We are guaranteed to finish above .500 now and that is so awesome. At this point, my season prediction of 45-46 wins is looking like the absolute floor for this team.

[Nick K]

It doesn't hurt making 22 of 47 from 3. Shot 26 FT's to 17 for the Bucs.

I don't think I'd want to play the Wolves in the playoffs.

We're 9 and 1 in our last 10. Isn't that something? I don't remember if the 2003 Wolves went 9-1 in any stretch.

Get on board boys. We have a real basketball team. They are fun to watch, well coached and no one is barking on the sidelines.

I thought so too that is was possible to win 42 -44. It's safe to say they have exceeded all of our expectations. 10 more games to go.

omg this annoying troll is here again. I cannot understand that there is a person out there that is so obsessed in hating Wolves and creates a new account once every week

[TwolvesFanRome]

Just few words.

Amazing. Funny. Unpredictable.

GO WOLVES NATION!!!!!

AROOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And Beasley sucked again, but it didn’t matter.

Four straight wins is the longest streak in the NBA right now (PHX also has four)

9-1 in the last 10 is the best in the NBA .. nobody is that good.

Let’s go
