Just wake up to see the missing player. Seems we do not want to win this one. Hopefully Mike and Rudy get good rest and bench will have plenty of times.

Towns probably looking for redemption after his stinker at Target Center. If they put Jrue on him again, does Horford guard Kyle?

If we win this will be a statement win. If we lose, it proves that schedule losses are sometimes lost. All upside for us.

Finch essentially told the team that all of the excuses for "schedule loss" are there for the team, but challenged them not to take it.

In case of emergency or garbage time

If Ant plays anything like he did last night, the whole 2nd half could be garbage time...

Ant is going to go for 40 on over 50% with 6 3s.

What would be the best team in the East vs best team in the west, now turn into a scheduled loss. Can NBA just do away with B2B games?

No way. Schedule would be reduced by a minimum of 10 to possibly 20 games. Too much lost revenue.

No Conely, I felt like we were toast, he's is essential to our flow. No Rudy, we are cooked, he is our defense. This would be the mother of all wins if we pulled this off but I don't see it.

Then we have no business being a contender. Rosters need stress tests, and they cannot handle a B2B then save the money and start looking at the baseball schedules.

Road/Road B2B, with flight issues, missing our 2 key players, and Boston is only missing KP. Not a normal situation.

Not a great start with Boston draining three's and the Wolves clanking them.

FrenchMinnyFan · Post #33 » by **FrenchMinnyFan** » Thu Jan 11, 2024 12:19 am

This line up is terrible. Slomo and NAW unable to shoot. Will be a tough night...

Well, we start 1 of 8 and down only 12-4. We need more ball movement and make some shots.

We weathered the initial storm and we're right back in this. Go Wolves.

We desperately need another shooter and to limit or trade Anderson. I’d love either Bogdanovic, Kennard, a Tyus/Kispert combo, or if released someone like Hayward. Everyone wants to drive into a crowded paint because of shooting issues except Ant/KAT/Reid.

KGdaBom · Post #38 » by **KGdaBom** » Thu Jan 11, 2024 12:36 am

Hanging around. Ant is going to score 36 more. Maybe we can win.

Can the Towns from yesterday please come to the party?

Biggest surprise of this game so far is Wolves having only 1 turnover, especially with no Conley.
