Game 26 | MIN @ PHI (12/20/23)
With PHI at home, combined with Embiid's constant flopping and bitching to the Refs, I fully expect Rudy and KAT to each have three (3) fouls before halftime.
Hopefully, Jaden and NAW can clamp down on Maxey and we don't shoot 20 less free throws than the Sixers.
Go Wolves!!!

Batum is out, Roco and Morris questionable. All 3 have some kind of illness. Morris did not practice yesterday. Let’s hope they all sit and we avoid a typhoid Larry situation.

MIA Monday, PHI Wednesday, LAL Thursday
I think that may be my triumvirate of teams I want to see MIN beat!

That's a brutal 4 day stretch of games. If the Wolves can get one win out of the PHI/LAL back-to-back I'll be happy.

LAL also on a back to back. LAL actually a road/road B2B whereas we are home and road. I think we actually matchup very well against both teams. I am hoping for the sweep.

We matchup but Philly has the Towns stopper in Batum.

I'd be happy with 2 wins. One win would slightly bum me out, but I could live with it.

Not tonight they don’t. Batum and Roco both out. Morris questionable with the same illness

I know they have been playing some weaker teams lately but Philly is balling. Absolutely destroying squads and Embiid is just a bulldozer right now. Expect us to rack up a ton of fouls.
This will be a big game, probably the hottest team we will play in a while as far as the rate they are destroying teams. Going to need to be disciplined tonight.

Should we employ Luka in a Mark Madsen role to pick up fouls on Embiid?

Will be an interesting one. IF the Refs dont give 20FT to Embiid, we may have a chance. Go Minny !

Rudy Gobert is so clever in fast breaks with sealing off shot-blockers for the ball-handler.

That foul on KAT confuses me. What did he do wrong?
