Chet went off when Rudy went to the bench. The Wolves need to figure out the non-Rudy minutes in terms of protecting the paint/rebounding.


Would be worth seeing what Luka can do for a few minutes, he's got the size to match up with Chet.

Finch hasn't given Garza any non-garbage time playoff minutes this season. Do you think he would do it?

Almost a guarantee he won't. I get wanting to shrink the lineup in the playoffs, but there's also such a thing as being too stuborn about it. We've reached that point with Finch.

Perhaps a wasted bet but hey if Minnesota is indeed a title contender they have to steal one road game and this is their best shot methinks.

Go Wolves!

It's a dilemma for Wolves all year. They can play Gobert is Wolves aren't trying to score to catch up because they can't make Gobert a useful part of an offense.

Lu Dort, known for his reckless play and injuring players, decided to set his sights on lead referee Scott Foster :lol:
