I would play 100% the first half. If we in front keep fighting, if not sit ANT, MIke and Rudy.

We have 3 games in a row on National TV. If Cleveland is at full strength or if we aren't tie for 1st place, I would be more favor the idea of resting him. If we do rest him, where are we going to get the points? Especially with Morris and JMcL out too and Conley is playing like he is 75 years old. Try to squeeze 25pt out of Gobert is like the worst case of offensive constipation.

I agree Ant needs to sit for a game or just get limited minutes.

The fall he took from that block was scary looking. He's got to be feeling it today.

Good to go Friday Edwards tweaked his troublesome left ankle Thursday night and was carrying a questionable tag prior to this update, but he officially has the green light to start. He was dominant after returning to Thursday's game, dropping 44 points and also recording the game-winning block.

Something unusual for the Jumping out to a nice early lead. 15-6 but now 15-11.

Wolves give up 3 TOs in a row and lead is down to 1. Yuck.

I can't tell is it good defense or bad offense from both teams.

Mike really sucks since few games. Hopefully he is just tired and need some rest.

We need to stop giving the ball away. The Cavs defense isn't forcing turnovers, the Wolves are just throwing passes right to them.

Did we just Fired Finch or he needs to rest on a back-2-back game too.

Tough game. Cleveland have a good defense and we tired. We need to hit 3 as well.

The Wolves starters look gassed midway through the first quarter. This could be a good night to extend the rotation, maybe give Minott a couple of 4-5 minute stretches.

Finch out sick. This offense is looking sick (not in the good way, in the diseased sense of the word.) Maybe the spacing caught what Finch has.

Mike is looking old all a sudden, I hope he's just tired or in a funk and not declining rapidly or something. This is a big drop from what he was doing before.
