Please use double dose of rat poison today. Maybe one of the big 3 will pull a hammy. Ironically, we are still in better situation than NYK even though NY was way more competitive than us.

OKC is the better team but it doesn't mean we can't beat them. Timberwolves are really going to have to up their level of play to do so. We are at home, typically role players play better at home. If the bench steps up, maybe if we try some kind of scheme change, we can get a win tonight. OKC has shown they can slip up. Lose tonight and a sweep is likely.
When luck shuts the door skill comes in through the window.

Most important game in Wolves history.

Good money at stake here for Julius, Naz, and naw.
Good chance we'll try rolling with same scheme that didn't work game 1 & 2.
Jaden needs to be the pf w jaylen on sga.
Julius just doesn't work against this team.
Edwards as main ball handler is not ideal, but we have to try something. Winning 4 of 5 against a juggernaut won't happen with a tweak here and there.

Right now I'm not thinking about 4 out of 5. I'm just thinking about winning tonight and then the next game to bring it back to 2-2. Then I'll think about winning 2 out of 3.

I agree, good point.
There needs to be some sort of fundamental change though.. outside of just trying harder.

Actually I like Ant be the main handler when it worksWhen Ant plays within the system and don't turn it over, it's very good. Allow us to have huge size advantage too. Especially if we start NAW or Clark with Ant. Ant just not consistent enough to be that yet (or ever).
Have to take a risk. Ant, Jaylen, naz, jaden, Rudy against this particular team. 0% chance we do anything different, and HIGH probability we get swept.

Steven A Smith says we're going down in 5. Maybe 4. Put you're money on the Wolves tonight!

That play by ANT just made me believe we're going to win this game. We had desire and they didn't.
