Are we going to bounce back and start a massive streak?

Big news today though. Rudy Gobert is OUT due to Health and Safety Protocols

I would normally say Rudy being out is a bad thing in building on the chemistry that we currently lack, but considering KAT and Naz were clearly our best players yesterday, this may be a good thing for tonight.

Not gonna win cuz dlo will be shooting like 3-15 again.. Maybe we start prince at sf instead of McDaniels. Less trees out there so Edwards can attack the rim more. Maybe even dlo will attempt to attack the rim a couple times. Dlo needs to wake up from his shooting slump. If I'm the FO, tonight's the last chance I'm giving him. Trade him for Irving or Westbrook:D. At least they can give u consistent effort on whatever they do.

Chance for Finch to shake up the starting 5 a bit. Rockets are going to try and go super mode to capitalize on our struggles but we need to use this as an opportunity to bounce back.

If it was me. Nowell, Ant, MCD, Anderson, KAT.

Second unit JMAC, Dlo, Prince, Knight and Reid

Mix Ant into the second unit some and KAT as well both playing with Naz for stretches.

how does health and safety protocols work now? once they're cleared they can come back or is it like a minimum of 3 days or a week after you enter H&S?

I think the isolation period is 6 days for vaccinated players and then as long as it's determined you're not at risk to be infectious, you can return. Or 2 negative tests will also do the trick.

Moving the ball well but is a little sloppy. That said good to see the ball move, just slowly improve, keep building that chemistry and cohesion fellas.

I feel this season the Wolves are so ambitious on offense and wanting to play "the beautiful game". I'm hopeful it helps them in the long run. We'll see!

I'm enjoying the extended Taurean Prince minutes.

Those sloppy plays is the most frustrated part of this season. It kills momentum and leads to easy baskets. Also, we don't get as many turnovers as last year, so hard to win the turn over battle when you are sloppy.
