***Game Thread 10 Timberwolves vs Golden State for 7 Straight! In Season Tournament Edition***

[Klomp]

I'll be curious to see who scores in Curry's absence. He's the only Warrior to score 20 in a game this year.

I don't think his injury creates any advantages for GSW though. It's not like they are likely to run more in transition. They're still an undersized frontcourt too, nothing changes there.

The biggest mission for tonight is to avoid any CP3/Draymond shenanigans that could put our guys at risk.

Anyone else still feel a little nervous? It’s like I’m not scared of any team, but I’m not convinced we couldn’t lose to a bad one.

The top three defenses in “Points Allowed” are:

103.1 MIN
104.3 NYK
105.8 HOU

I worry about the Wolves (particularly Ant’s) motivation level without Steph out there. If I was the coach, I would challenge them to try to clamp down for 48 minutes, and see if they could hold the Warriors to 92 points, and bring their number down to 101.

The stars are aligning for the Wolves. They should know how important today's win is. Especially it is also part of the cheesey in season tournament. GWS still have CP3 to start at point. Also hope we learned from last year's POR game.

Worried that this is a trap game. They better not take these Warriors lightly. Wiggins due for a high scoring game? Klay wanting to show out for that next contract? We walked into too many pie-in-the-face games next year with teams we were supposed to beat. This year's Wolves need to do better.

We're going to be 60-20 with 2 games left and think man this next game looks like a trap game. Perhaps we just need one great season, and starting next year we won't feel this way anymore.

So true of our fan base! I'm not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but it is the truth of the matter.

Old Wolves could lose tonight's game. Wiggins would go off, some scrubs would put on a cape and go Superhero. Let's not fall into old habits and take care of business.

[Murphs56]

I'd go all in for the win tonight and rest Conley tomorrow.

Anyone watched TNT and did they say anything about Twolves? We are playing GSW tonight, so they have to say something.

Need to start fast and just get them to accept that they have no chance of winning without Curry, then rest people in the second half as much as possible

Chuck just said shout out to the wolves early on. And then a little later he said the west is upside down. Said that Ant is ballin and the wolves are playing great. If we win tonight im sure they will show a few clips and talk about us for a few seconds.

Klay and others will see this as a chance to find their game. They are definitely not going to lay down early and you are right, we need to stomp them early. I think they will play us tough tonight. The Warriors still believe they are The Warriors, tonight is a fantastic chance for them to get some mojo back by winning a game without Steph and win a tournament game. They will come out swinging and trying to get a win against a good team and get some revenge. If we come out sleeping, it will be a big mistake. We need to try and smash these guys. They wont be messing around.

[KGdaBom]

With Curry now listed as out, it will be a blow should the Wolves fall. As others have said, Curry's been Golden State's offense this early in the season.

We have to come to play. Anything can happen.

[Calinks]

The hell was that!?

[Guest84]

Fireworks already!

[guest81]

That is some dirty ****. Green and Thompson should get multiple game suspension for that

[Guest84]

Green for sure should be ejected. Jaden and Klay double tech or tossed too. Wouldn’t be surprised

[shrink]

Draymond is just a dangerous player, and needs to be suspended.

He team wasn’t going to be competitive without Steph, so he was looking for a chance to choke someone and go home early.
