Game 70: Timberwolves at Spurs, 7:30 pm CST

[Domejandro]

If Minnesota wins against San Antonio and Denver loses against Philadelphia, Minnesota will only be .5 games back of the sixth seed. Could be a big night!

Big game. Need to bring it and we need Philly to step up too. I'd like to see KAt under control again, he seems to be losing his grip with the refs the last two games.

[KGdaBom]

Philly up 31-20 late first quarter.

Without V8 or Naz we are in a tight spot. We don’t know yet about JMAC or Bev. With MCD forced to play starting PF and Prince as backup PF we have no third string C. So KAT and Knight as the first and second string must play conservative and avoid foul trouble. If not Ant may have to play PF and MCD play C, which we really don’t want.

Edit to update: JMAC out.

I haven't seen too many Spurs games this year..not sure what to expect

[Calinks]

Towns is back to screaming about fouls. He was doing so well for about 3 weeks.

Whoaaa!!! Okogie is a PF … ??? Btw what ever happened to Vanterpool?

[KGdaBom]

Philly blowing it. Up 37-22 after the first quarter now just 58-53 at the half.

Russell En Fuego!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[KGdaBom]

I've heard a bunch of whining about Russell lately. He has been in a shooting slump, but I have faith in him.

[KGdaBom]

Denver has come all the way back from a 15 point deficit to take a 63-61 lead. Come on Philly.

His shooting is too inconsistent, hot one game, cold as ice the next three.

Not sure what Nathan Knight was doing there

Wolves outscore opponents when he's on the court. He also comes through very well in the last two minutes of games. I'm a fan whether he's consistent or not.

KAT and his fouls

[life_saver]

**** these refs. That's a joke of a call

[Domejandro]

Gotta keep it real, we've lost the right to complain about calls, after that three-foul sequence.

[KGdaBom]

KAT needs to take care of the ball better. 4 TOs already. On his way to a bad triple double.
