***Game Thread 10 Timberwolves vs Golden State for 7 Straight! In Season Tournament Edition***

Post #1 » by **Calinks** » Tue Nov 14, 2023 3:37 am

The Timberwolves have a chance to make history tomorrow night and start this early season off with some huge success. 7 straight games for the first time in 20 years! I think getting this seven-game streak and beating the Warriors back-to-back, thus giving us an early two-game buffer will be a big boon for our postseason hopes. On top of that it will make us 2-0 in the In-Season Tournament. Let's seal the deal!

Did Paul take out Curry’s knees too?

I was really dissatisfied with the officiating in the last game.

This would be the game to get on a road back to back. Booker has a chance of returning for that game.

win this one then we fly all the starters home early to prep for Saturday's NOP game. Let Minott, Moore, Garza, and Miller take care of the Suns on Wednesday.

A few Looney screens were 100% moving screens aka offensive fouls.

Wonder if we play all our starters the next 2 games. Should be a good idea to limit or rest the oldest one as Mike.

No team in the league is currently 2-0 in in-season tournament play. Let’s go get this W!

I still assume every game we play will be a loss. I'm curious if that will ever change...

Interesting. How many teams have played 2 already. What's in it for us if we do win the in-season tournament? I believe the players get some money. Is there any advantage for the playoffs?

Two teams are 1-1, three teams are 0-2.
We are one of 14 teams at 1-0.

I think tonight is a night where we have to be concerned about a "breakout" Klay Thompson sighting. We can't allow him to get loose tonight. Also, if Curry is out, they need to apply pressure and try to put this away immediately. Trap Klay off screens maybe...? Everyone else outside of him is only scoring 2pt baskets.

Can Paul and Wigs beat you?

According to shams Curry is OUT tonight.

They might as well rest everyone if they are resting him...he is their whole team!
7 straight here we come!

Apply a mathematical formula to tonight's game and we win every time. However, the game will actually be played and anything can happen. Go Wolves.

I agree good time to rest Conley. Or play him and make sure you win the first of the back to backs and then rest him against the Suns to give him 5 days off.

With Curry now listed as out, it will be a blow should the Wolves fall. As others have said, Curry's been Golden State's offense this early in the season.
