Nowell is questionable with a bruised sacrum. My guess is that he got when Naz ran into him. Also Bev is questionable.

If KAT, Dlo, and Ant all have good games, I say we win by 10. If one of the three has a bad game and Beasley has a good game, we win by 1 or 2. If two of those four are bad we lose big.

I guess Vando on Curry, Jmac on Klay, Ant on Wiggins, Dlo on porter?

Do you mean Big MAC/MCD when you say JMAC?

This is our one TNT game which IMO is the biggest stage you can get to when it comes to coverage. I'm pretty sure the casual NBA fan has no idea we may be a playoff team this season, a win tonight will open a lot of eyes. It's also an audition for us to get more national games next season.

I expect at least 10 posts saying you hate "x" player that's going off on the other team :lol:

This could be our "Are the Wolves foreal?" game if we win, if we don't, same ol' same ol' unless we put together a big win streak

I dont like doing this but...

Win tonight and tomorrow: We make it to the 2nd round of the post-season

Win one and lose one: We make the post-season and have a semi-competive series but lose round 1

Loss both: Lose play-in

Inspired. Now let’s ask what happens if Jokic breaks his wrist or Gobert breaks his ankle. There are so many variables outside of these two specific games you simply cannot begin to make that statement.

But for the sake of argument let’s humor you. What happens if we win both Denver games, beat the Lakers, and sweep the remaining Dallas games? Losing two doesn’t mean anything at this point.

Finally, with the trade deadline approaching and our stated goal of being buyers how does playing two games without Bev and without whatever reinforcements we might acquire say we cannot compete in the playoffs in round 1?

Because what I said was solely for fun and not in any way a serious comment.

Wiggins is an all-star starter!

When I first read this, I thought that you wrote he had a bruised scrotum. I’m sure he’s thankful it’s only his sacrum.

They only let me give plus 1, but just know you get +3.

No way Ant gets in. Towns has a shot but probably wont make it either.

Tonight could be comedy if Wiggins goes off. Too bad I can't pick him for +/-
