Looking forward to another night of fans questioning the existence of one Luke Francis Kornet and what his purpose in life is.

Arrived less than 5 hours before tipoff? No Conley. Probably no Gobert too.

Either way, I'll be here and ready to argue.

I think we just found a RealGM Boston motto.

You don't question a man with ice in his veins.

I'm mostly just hoping Minny's free throw defense isn't as good as Indiana, someone needed to check that hoop for a plexiglass lid.

Seems like KP would be great to help spread the floor vs the Minny defense, while Al is so experienced at helping to slow down Giannis.

Oh well.

Kornet can handle all of the above.

People question Kornet because he's a big goofy looking white guy who has a heart of gold and a sweet Midwestern welcoming smile.

HEART OF GOLD!

I WANT THIS MAN TO BE DATING MY DAUGHTER. THIS MAN IS A BASKETBALL SAINT AND WE AS CELTICS. FANS SHOULD BE KISSING THE PARQUET FLOOR EVERY DAY AS WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM.

GOD BLESS YOU LUKE KORNET!

Timberwolves are giving the Celtics a run for their money. They're 2 Games behind us.
Let's stretch it out, and maintain Homecourt Advantage throughout the Playoffs.

They have zero business losing this game. It's should be a scheduled loss for the T Wolves.

Biggest risk is Kornet finding things too easy, getting bored and switching off. I propose adding playmaking duties to his responsibilities.

Not for nothing, but Kornet is actually a 32% Career 3pt shooter. Which is not too shabby, for a Backup Center.

If Conley (36) doesn’t play, the Wolves are a mess. He has played in 81 of his last 82 games, but if there was ever a time to talk him into a rest game, this would be it.

That said, the Wolves were 8-3 in the final game of back-to-backs. Young players get motivated.

Hopefully we’re playing this game in five months, with everyone healthy, in the NBA Finals.

Luka Garza time!

Just kidding, probably not. Probably still not a deep rotation until late. Here's what I'm guessing we'll see as a nine-man rotation:

McLaughlin / Milton
Edwards / Alexander-Walker
McDaniels / Brown
Anderson
Towns / Reid

TBH. Not that I'm rooting for the Timberwolves. But, this game should be Rescheduled to later in the Season.
The weather is Act of God reason. On top of the whole Back-to-Back B.S.
