What are the chances that KAT plays both of the back to back? 1% I would guess. Tonight 5%,

Game-time decision.

Is roco still coming off the bench? Sounded like a punishment

It's the first game of a back2back with him recovering. I have to believe he is far more likely to sit than to play. My fantasy team desperately needs him to play.

Towns hates Jokic, so if he wants to try, I don’t think they will tell him no.

I would prefer if he took tonight off.

Was there a reason given? I missed it.

Maybe all of this is another reason why Thibs wanted to bring Jimmy in so bad. We all know it was a disaster but he probably really felt that this team needed a vocal take charge leader who would hold everyone accountable. We don't know if Towns is like that and Wiggins hasn't been good enough (especially then) to demand that from his teammates. The team probably needs star level player who can call people out and put their feet to fire when they aren't doing the little things.

It's a hard balance to find, especially with the collection guys we have but that's probably a missing piece of our team. Towns and Wiggins probably could have benefited a lot from another year of KG in the locker room.

Covington didn’t start the game after he was tardy for a team activity, something he took full responsibility for after the game

If it was almost any other opponent, I think Towns would take tonight off.

Does that mean you think he's playing?

It means I'm not sure.

Good to know.
Save your night, find something else to do. I'm such a great fan.

Wiggs is going to take 30 shots to get his 20 tonight. The nuggs are swarming him as soon as he touches the ball.

Wolves on a 13-0 comeback/run?? WOW!

old world wolves

Fall way behind. Miracle runs to almost catch up, only to fall way behind again.

New regime, culture. really? Show us something new again.

Put Nowell back in. No bucket/attempts yet, but +7 while he was in.
