***Tonight's the night: Timberwolves at 76ers Game Thread***
This could be the most dramatic game of the season tension wise. Jimmy may go full out and he will have the raucous Philadelphia crowed behind him. The Sixers are a touch team but they haven't found their grove yet. With that said there is a good chance they will be trying to play at full throttle today. We are going to have to see some amaing play from our guys to pull this one out.

Jimmy Butler is not going to score too much tonight, he is going to 100% be focused on shutting down Andrew Wiggins, in my opinion.

Jimmy will definitely be lot more active and take lot more shots than usual. Remember our match against Bulls last season in Chicago? Jimmy started out well but then kept on chucking and eventually shot us out of the game...he had his highest number of FG attempts last season in that game(among games which didn't go to OT).

I have this as a loss. Tough matchup for KAT and I wouldn't be surprised if gets into any foul trouble early. Embiid will destroy Dieng

I personally disagree, I think his entire focus will be on making sure Andrew Wiggins does not score, that is the most important thing for his ego, in my opinion.

I hope that both Wiggins and KAT will take this game personally and play smart.

Maybe Saric will have a big game

Eh, I can see Jimmy playing hero ball, especially if Wolves get a lead and Simmons and/or Embiid is not playing great.
I can also see Jimmy talking crap to Karl, trying to get inside his head. I hope KAT's teammates will try to back him up

There will be a minimum of two Ts tonight...

Our bench has to murder them, we need Gorgui to turn into Hakeem vs Muscala, don't think I've seen a worse defending center

Don't count us out of this. Their bench is pretty weak. If we can keep KAT out of foul trouble, and Wiggins can get aggressive we have a good shot. I just hope Rose doesn't try to win the game single handedly. I think Saric will be key. If he can knock down a few 3 pointers and open it up in the middle KAT may do some work. Provided he doesn't take any of those stupid charging calls.

If the Sixers were playing optimally I think we are toast but lately they have been sloppy. I am pretty sure Butler is going to go HAM and we have seen Embiid really enjoy trolling and emotion so he will probably feed off of that. I expect the Sixers to be running hot. They are still beatable though and if they get sloppy we can capitalize.

Embiid will abuse Dieng.
