Moore says DLo is out. Somebody breathed on him or something

1. Bilateral hamstring soreness is the cause according to espn. Probably the result of such a crazy schedule. Remember no team has had 4 consecutive back 2 backs in 6 years.

2. Bev is back.


3. Simons is out and Hart is back for them.

True. But we just had an all star break too. Should be an easy win but we’re grown accustomed to making things harder than they need to be

Must be saving dlo and ant for the tougher games after this stretch of winnable games

ASB is a week of no games (not sure how many practices,) not a magic pill that resets you to preseason health and stamina. Then you come back from the ramp down to an extreme ramp up. Finch was right this was “damn near irresponsible.” Prince’s back spasms, Bev’s ankle, Dlo’s hamstring issues, could all easily be a function of wear down. What the league did is no joke and I for one am not laughing.

This could be an unofficial rest day for DLo. Remember, DLo doesn’t share KAT and Ant’s desire to play every game.

I’m fine with it. Bev is back, and JMac is playing great. The important games don’t start for another month.

That is the best case and I certainly hope it is true.

No Anfernee Simons?

Let’s see a big lead, and 18 minutes of Layman while we rest the rotation.

I just looked at the line up tweet at the beginning of the thread.

They don’t even have a picture of Brandon Williams! :lol:

Look at that monster chain around Ant's neck! It fits him well. Damn thing is huge!

I wouldn'r be walking alone down Hennepin avenue late at night with that thing on. :)

This almost isn't fair - not even Simons is playing. Not that I'm complaining, mind you..... been on the opposite side of this equation too many times.

J Mac continues his superb play. He just runs the show and makes others better. Plus, he's making a few shots!

Unbelievable that the ref at the back called a foul before the ref IN FRONT of KAT. You kidding me?
