They could still play though right? I saw them both listed as questionable.

They could. But they could also spread an illness to the healthy Wolves players in the process. Heavy breathing, sweat, high fives, common surfaces (the ball, rim, ect…) If we get our whole team sick it could cost us a lot more games.

How good would a win feel tonight?

Towns’ All-NBA performance incoming tonight.
Or else Wolves get blown out.

I looked in the usual places but couldn’t find any more news on whose available tonight for either team. Any of you social media savvy people got anything?

I'd imagine they'll both be game time decisions based on how they feel - maybe even after going through warmups. If they were sick enough to assure they couldn't play we'd have heard by now.

Put Rudy on Giannis. Don’t defend him at all outside the paint. Make him shoot. Meanwhile have guys ready to get in front and disrupt his drive. This game is winnable, but we need to move the ball and get our shooting going early. Also really need to avoid a major meltdown in the third.

AARROOO good!

Watch us win tonight! It never goes the way you think. :banghead:

I give us a 40% chance of winning tonight. It can happen.

Dlo is fouled and NO call.

Rudy NEEDS to make those shots around the basket.

I hate to say it but Rudy has hands of stone and could fumble a 2-pk of Twinkies. Plus he's a weak FT shooter.

I'd still do the deal but I thought he was quite a bit better. We'll still be OK but....

For those with league pass, watch the first half of Cavs vs Celtics and see the difference between ball movement and no ball movement from the Cavs. I think Wolves should study that first half. Yes, I am drinking the Cavs Kool-Aid

That's cool. I would have loved to see it. I like the Cavs. K Love is one of my favorite players. Ricky too.

So Giannis just drills a 3! :lol:

It had to be that way.
