Taj Gibson Out Apr 2
Comment: Gibson (calf) is out Wednesday against the Mavericks.
Luol Deng Out Apr 2
Comment: Deng (Achilles) is out Wednesday against the Mavericks.
Robert Covington Out Apr 1
Comment: Covington (knee) underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Monday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

How does Covington wait until the very end of season to decide to have arthroscopic done? Could have had that done in January and been back mid February. Urgency. Anybody got any?

Is Towns really going to play this game? If he does, go for 60 or let everyone else go for theirs.

This will be game of the year.

Random thought: If Ryan Saunder's name was Bill Johnson, are we still looking at him for the job next year?

I dont get it either Jedzz, if he has loose particles in the knee, well they know its cartledge and they remove it, i dont see how this could have happened either. He was really missed on the floor tho, his defense is amazing.

Okogie showing some promise again lately.

I thought Doncic was skipping this game. There goes my Dieng choice for the game.

Amazingly, in this wrecked confusing season there have been some great games to watch. Would be tough to beat some I've seen this year.

I really like how he's not been afraid to just play anyone. The one thing I question is that the team is still so Jekyll and Hyde. Nothing changed with that since he took over. They do need some help to correct this. If he stays, where does that help come from? Experienced consultants? Need a mind from a winning organization to help correct some things. The whole injury thing is a real black eye too. This news about Roco's April arthro just burns me up.

If you have players locked up in multi year contracts there has to be some control and help going on, not leaving individuals to go these things on their own. Just absolutely silly to see him completely sit out three months and then afterwards go arthroscopic. If it's bad enough to miss three months they should have been in there right away. If you are waiting till now, might as well get out the hacksaw and start over.

Doesn't make any sense to me either...
For all the praise Mayo gets for being elite healthcare providers, I have never been impressed by the wolves org's ability to keep people healthy or get them back healthy, quickly.

Patton would have had 50 if he played tonight.

No foolin. I wonder if he's had any press interviews sitting in front of those Mayo backdrops while he's been out.

Dario and Wiggins the last 5 minutes

sky4it · Post #15 » by **sky4it** » Thu Apr 4, 2019 2:39 am

wiggins, is so awful out there. he dumps the ball to Towns twice and then wanders through the lane and gets beat on defense.

Jedzz · Post #16 » by **Jedzz** » Thu Apr 4, 2019 2:42 am

Wow Wiggins. Had to wait until the last game to see shoulder contact but there it was to tie it up.

Jedzz · Post #17 » by **Jedzz** » Thu Apr 4, 2019 2:50 am

The tank threw a track one last time.

Post #18 » by **Calinks** » Thu Apr 4, 2019 2:51 am

Luka is another example why I think we need a star wing. KAT is a monster but its just a lot more dangerous to have a ball handling scorer like Luka be able to take over. Way harder for NBA teams to guard. Towns won out tonight though.

I didn't know you could just shove defenders to the ground now.

Post #20 » by **Calinks** » Thu Apr 4, 2019 2:54 am

Porzingis and Luka are going to be something else next season. Great Big and small combo. Either Guy can pass out to the other for a three.
