Gotta have 2 of the next 4 and this is the most winnable of the next 4. 2 of them come on the back end of a back 2 back and the other one is against the Cavs who are much larger than us. If we lose tonight we probably lose the chance at the 6 seed.

Can’t see us winning our next 2. Memphis just a lot better team second night of a back to back tomorrow and Philadelphia has two players better than anyone we have on our roster.

They have also never played together. Losing Curry and Drummond weakened Philly a bit. WCS will fill the latter role and Harden the former but both players have been out a while and both have yet to find their footing with their new teammates. I could see us stealing one against the 76ers, but it will not be easy.

Last time we played them they were just back from a long 6 game west roady and we still had to go to double overtime against them. Now they have Another top 10 NBA player to go along with the best player in the NBA. I can see Philadelphia easily winning it all.

Again, it could happen. But Harden hasn’t been Harden lately and the 76ers don’t have the chemistry yet with Harden. I could see us sneaking one out. A lot depends on who plays well and how the refs call the game, but our group has enough talent to pull out against anyone.

Dane Moore seems to think we match up really well with Memphis, I haven't ever thought that. Maybe tonight I will see what he means. In my mind Memphis usually spanks us.

Vando and Ant have not been the same on defense for a while now.

^^^ Chill a bit, you can criticize a player without literally telling them to "go to hell" or "F you".

Yeah, not really sure about that analysis, Memphis' high-level shooting, rebounding, and penetrating (particularly Ja Morant) seems like a brutal combination for Minnesota to handle. The team's defense cannot really handle it.

The ball control so far has been uglier than a hat full of arseholes... Not pretty at all

We cannot rebound at all

I wouldn't mind seeing Knight get some minutes at PF. The Wolves are getting absolutely destroyed on the boards and in terms of size.

Man, that is a momentum-losing play by D'Angelo Russell.

Post #20 » by **Calinks** » Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:56 am

Ant needs to start getting to the line like Ja Morant. That would be a massive boost to our team.
