WCF Game 1 5-22-24 Series tied 0-0 

Post#1 » by KGdaBom » Wed May 22, 2024 3:27 pm

Big home game for the Wolves. As far as I can tell we are healthy with the exception of Conley who is playing with injury. He's officially a GTD. It's my understanding that there will be no 2 game breaks for the whole round. Is that correct?
Maxi Kleber is out tonight, but expected back for game 2. The other Luka is officially a GTD for tonight's game, but I'll give him a 99% chance of playing. Go Wolves!!

No posting for me tonight mostly likely. I will be at the game. For all that money I paid for a pair of upper deck seats, I better see a 'W'. If they don't win one for Conley, win one for me :D

Wolves win just 1 for the Timber.
Have fun at the game. Amazing.

He separated his shoulder on May 3rd and just started running on the treadmill and some light shooting this week. As of 4 hours ago there was no timetable for his return.

I clicked on the ESPN game preview and it had Kleber's expected return date as May 24th. I will trust you have better info than ESPN so no Kleber this series.

I won't be able to watch the game live tonight but I reckon I'll get up early and watch it before I have to go to work.

Speaking of work, which is a day care/kindergarten with a bi-cultural background (German and Norwegian), I have been rocking an old KG jersey the last two days. A few of the kids' fathers and I have been chatting basketball over the past year but they support other teams. So earlier today, a father of a kid who will join my group after the summer, approached me and was wondering if I am a Wolves fan. Much to my delight, he said he's also been a fan of the Wolves ever since he lived there some years ago. There's only a handful of Norwegians who are interested in basketball, much less support the Wolves and one of them will have his kid in my group soon. Now there's two of us here in Oslo :rock:

I want a win and for KAT to drop 50. Tired of people underestimating and undervalueing him.

It would be fun. I actually prefer games we win like game 7 against the Nuggets where Ant did NOT play well. We are so much more than Ant and I want the world to know it.

Balanced offense … feed the hot hand if it tears it’s head

Defense is the key ingredient in this recipe … buckle up buckle down

One key to the series is the health of Mike Conley. We need Mike Conley to play. NAW has been our worst regular rotation player and Conley actually has had the best plus/minus for Wolves. He is a coach on the floor who is really needed with Finch being pretty immobile. My main beef with Finchy all year was getting a backup point guard integrated into the offense. Hopefully, Conley can get healthy enough to play as many games as we need him to win the series. Otherwise, its going to be tough as this Dallas team has a great one two combo and is deeper than the two teams we have already faced.

This is phenomenal. Whoever drafted it is absolutely brilliant.

We got Marc Davis tonight. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but he had Suns game 2, and Denver games 2 and 6. So we are 3-0 with him.

Nice, but it should have also barred Draymond from entering the state.
