Why is Ant in and not on his way to Philly?

Wolves have put up 100 shots. Sac 76. Isn't that something? We've missed well over a dozen layups.

I am still trying to manifest trading Naz for PJ Washington and Okogie (no use for us) for Dieng though.

I zipped over to the Kings board, to see if they were even watching the game, or just talking trade.

I was surprised to see some of them complaining about the reffing!

I guess many of us, whatever the fan affiliation, sees fouls against our teams that the refs often miss.

I also wanted to watch this game to get a look at Alex Len - a cheap back up center to trade for.

I haven’t been impressed.

61 points for the Wolves bench!!!

The bench really brought it tonight.

I think Ant goes for blood tomorrow night.

I love the way the team was celebrating JMac when he left the game! Awesome!

I liked him too. Now, maybe not so much.

5th straight. Sucks that we didn’t gain any ground on 5 or 6, but at least we got separation on 8 and 9.

Aaaaaarrrrrooooooo!!!! 5 game win streak, they're beating teams they should beat. Bench is stepping up at the right time!

Was it 5 games that we just couldn't seem to get in a row, or was it 6?

Oh forgot to mention, JMAC double, double off the bench. If we move him that is the perfect bookend to his Wves career. If not, it is still a very welcome sight on a great night.

Utah, Denver, Detroit, Detroit, Sacramento.

Before that we lost 2 against the Warriors and Suns. But we are 13 of our last 18. Gotta love the Finch era.

I hadn’t thought about it before, but the undermanned Kings are probably going to be pretty tired in tomorrow’s back-to-back, after today’s wide open game.

Let’s make it 6 in a row!

Can't trade JMac, if this season tells us anything...DLO & PB are our most injury prone players. Need a quality PG like Jmac to have in case those two get dinged up

True, but I am worried about Ant. I think his bad stretch is because of his knee. I would start Beasley and only play Ant if we need him. We simply must do everything we can to get him healthy. We will need him down the stretch.

I feel it is important to point out that they missed a lot of 3s and we hit a ton of them. We cannot count on winning against good teams without cleaning things up. I acknowledge how huge the bench has been and I don’t like saying goodbye to anyone who has been a part of this awesome season. But we have real needs that MUST be met if we are to take this past the first round of the playoffs.
