As always...

Tonight's starting lineup has not been announced. Just speculating based on the previous game.

6 injuries vs 0.

Magic by 4

Let’s go boys. Freakin win and get freakin healthy.

I think this Wolves team isnt as good as their record suggests. 5-5 in their last 10, and i think they will start slipping in the standings soon.

We need Franz atleast to have a shot. Paolo needs to attack and get KAT, Gobert and Mcdaniels in foul trouble. Im interested to see who Mosley decides to play against their big line up. Will he try to match their size?

Still, its going to be really hard to win with all these injuries. Most likely we lose this one.

Debating if I want to go to this game. Weather is gross.

Just curious, when Ingles was hurt did we know it would keep him out this long? Don’t recall that level of concern but maybe I missed it.

Great question. It was considered minor at the time. I believe he even came back into the game. Him being out this long is wild.

it looked pretty bad when it happened and Joe is old by NBA standards so im not surprised he's been out this long

This will be a hard one. They got two seven footers and a guy that can bother Paolo on the perimeter and in the paint.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we see some double big lineups tonight, if Mosley wants to throw size at size. Goga + WCJ/Moe to try stretch the floor whilst containing the bigs. Will depend how Chuma holds up against the size and who’s shot is falling I guess.

Shooting will be crucial, more than usually.

I think we pull this one out, unless Ant Man goes nuclear on us.

Houstan will have a problem.

Our guys need to step up defensively and offensively.

WTF is going on with WCJ and JI? The others that are out, I understand.

Suggs should be guarding Ant, with Houstan picking up Conley

Today is Caleb’s birthday. I want him to go crazy with the 3 point shooting.
