Rudy is questionable, but if he actually sprained his ankle last night I'm pretty sure he won't play.

RUDY GOBERT

Questionable versus Nets Gobert sprained his ankle during Friday's 112-107 loss to the Bucks. The big man finished the contest with 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 FT), 19 rebounds, two blocks, and he played through the injury. With a quick turnaround into Saturday's tilt, the star big man's status will presumably depend on how he is feeling closer to tipoff. If he ultimately has to sit out, Naz Reid would likely be the prime beneficiary, while Karl-Anthony Towns could also see some extra run at center.

Hope Rudy rest for this one. Hope we play with disciplin and use ANT the right way. Go Wolves.

If we don’t win this and the next two I am fairly certain with our schedule we don’t get the 1 seed. If Rudy is out for a while Karl and Ant better step up.

OKC's schedule is much easier. Wolves most like will be in 3rd place. OKC - DEN - MIN - LAC. If we don't win the next two, we likely end up in 4th.

Also looks like Wolves is the first team ever to play 4 sets of back to back in 2 weeks.

Slow start. Slomo on offense is useless. Tough to see.

Slow-Mo has some positive attributes, but I can’t wait until he’s off the team. His man literally will leave him wide open, completely clogging the paint.

Monte was supposed to help so we didn’t need to run point Kyle. So disappointed.

That hook by Towns on the drive seems totally unnecessary. I still don't understand why he feel he needs to speed run over a smaller player. Wouldn't he be better of just power dribble in and take a hook shot?

We are getting cooked. Looked like we took a step before the break but this looks like a step back these last 5 quarters at home. Hope we look a lot better by the end of this game.

B2B are allways hard, Hope we find some rythm and play better.

You know how I’ve felt about KAT through the years.

Check out this jersey my kid got today…

Our 1/2 court offense look so back. Feel like most of our run so far are because we turn defense into offense. Get down the court before the defense is set.

Jaden having a really tough stretch offensively

I don't know what Naz was trying to do there. He seems to play out of control a lot lately. Hope he is alright.

wtf jmac. Throw the lob to Ant

Reid back on the bench but I bet it's pretty sore tomorrow.

Tough first. We playa really bad tonight. Hope it get better in second.

Did everyone spend the week off sucking on a bong?

My god the flow and decision making is putrid

The halftime performance was terrible. Hope we wake up and don't emulate that

Morris has been great, everyone else not so much.

Some things I am noticing.

1. Our spacing is bad. Karl and Ant both at the top of the key makes no sense. They both command extra defensive attention. Being next to each other just closes the lane. Also Kyle does not belong in the corner. He should be anywhere else.

2. Ant keeps settling for mid range shots. They are his worst shots by percentage and every time he shoots one the defense wins. If he needs to jack up shots, do it from behind the 3 point line.

3. The refs are letting a lot of contact go. Generally this favors us. However, the level of contact down low is preventing us from scoring at the rim. We need to hit more 3s and create more transition baskets.
